Having written the above, I decided to go back into the config settings and try one more time.  I realized I did not have the "full screen" option checked.  Once I did that, the options became available and all is good.

Just thought I'd leave this here in case anyone else has similar issue.

I recently purchased and installed the Maelstrom 2.8.15 edition after playing 2.8.0 extensively.  The biggest difference between the two, at least for the purpose of this discussion, is the addition of the Gamma, Contrast, and Brightness sliders in the Options page.  Overall, the game graphics seem darker than the standalone 2.8.0 version, and unfortunately, the subject settings are greyed out so they cannot be changed to brighten the scenes.

I've adjusted the values in the options text files (both general and character save folders) without much difference in performance, and I've come to conclude these must not yet be fully implemented.  However, the game is still dark.

Is there any way to adjust the environmental lighting back to previous editions, or fix the greyed out setting sliders, in the latest edition?  It would be a shame to have to ignore all the changes since 2.8.0 just because of an apparent environmental lighting issue.
