Fade Controls the fade effect of the underlay. Values range from 0 through
100, default value is 0. The greater the value, the lighter the linework in the
underlay appears. Works indirectly with the contrast effect; a higher contrast
value blends the underlay in the background when fade is set to a higher
value.
Contrast Controls the contrast, and indirectly the fading effect, of the
underlay. Values range from 0 through 100, default value is 100. The greater
the value, the more each pixel is forced to its primary or secondary color.
Monochrome Controls the color saturation of all linework while maintaining
the luminance. When turned on, the linework appears in varying shades of
gray starting at black if the background color luminance is 50 percent or more.
If the background color luminance is less than 50 percent, then the colors are
inverted, with the darkest linework displaying in white, and the lightest
linework displaying in black.
