Desktop Guide Shading

[SoloCDM <deedsmis aculink net>]

Why I don't know, having a grid over the current viewport area within
a desk-guide doesn't work presently.  How can the shading be changed
(on or off) manually and how can the intensity (darker, lighter,
medium) be changed?

I tried the properties options and help browser, but nothing provides
any clues.
