icon Key to toggle/suppress alpha blending (+1)  
I couldn't find this already posted, but I'd like to have a key that I could press during the game which would turn off alpha blending (either as a toggle or just while the key is held down).

The lighting effects are really cool and all that, but sometimes you get a combination of pits+wraithwings+darkness or similar (eg KPVIIID3 Tenth 3N) and you just need to be able to see what's over the pits. Having to go back out to Settings a couple of times just to get a quick peek is a bit of a pain.

Seconded. I'm not very fond of alpha blending, but it's pretty much necessary for rooms with invisibility potions, so I wouldn't mind a quick way to toggle it.

Or even an option to ignore darkness so we could still have our invisibility show up.

Yeah. Darkness is cool, but it's been overused, I think. I've started playing without alpha blending on at all. I only "miss" the fading screen upon character-death.

What about the smell range visualization? I thought that went out the window along with alpha blending?

np: Fluke - Electric Guitar (Humbucker) (Six Wheels On My Wagon)

I don't miss that. I can eyeball it pretty well now.
