Fade
Controls the fade effect of the underlay. Values range from 0 through 100.
The greater the value, the more transparent the underlay appears against the
background. The lesser the value, the less transparent and closer to opaque
the underlay appears. A value of 0 makes the underlay appear fully opaque.
Contrast
Controls the contrast, and indirectly, the fading effect of the underlay. Values
range from 0 through 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.
