Why are you proposing that the rc file be so complicated?  It takes less 
than 15 minutes to read through every single available option in the current 
dillorc.

New users (in my experience) cannot find such buttons.  Mostly because they 
assume anything their program doesn't already do is "hard".  So they call me 
and then I have to find the button.

Not that I'm saying there should not be a button, but I think the idea that 
GUI configuration panes are "newb friendly" is a bit of wishful thinking.

I agree with this.  Maybe even change it to a setting for *how much* to 
darken.  Maybe.
