FadeToBlack works and is automatic; Stars1.8 is manual and works in 2-bit
mode; I suspect a fair number of the manual ones work.

However, I can't find anything that is invoked automatically and works
under MultiFinder (both FadeToBlack and Stars1.8 fail)!  Dimmer was a
nice device, but seems to require reinstallation almost every time I boot
(otherwise it draws the icon with a black X through it).  Does anybody
have 1) a fix to Dimmer or 2) a similar product: must run on II and under
MultiFinder; preferably does not block such processes as printing and
download?
