Hey, this DOES work!  I never through to try; I figured since they were dimmed
out (when a video *isn't* playing), that was the way they would be no matter
what. Thanks for the tip! I'm still fiddling with the controls to see how well
I can 'match' the original animation look.

This kind of Windows behavior *really* bugs me--the programmers could easily
have added "And BTW, these controls are only dimmed when a video isn't playing"
to the 'Overlay' menu. Or some other clue. But no. After all, most computer menu
commands are chosen *before* the command needs to be used, not *during* an
operation.

Anyway, thanks!
