+screen</title><p>The entire screen is dimmed in the background when the <uicontrol>Options</uicontrol> and
+power menu, floating toolbars, notes, soft notifications, settings editors
+or queries are displayed.</p></section>
+<section id="GUID-ED73DBC0-8230-49FB-B1C3-EE53FE4C34C6"><title>Dimming controls</title><p>In
+some situations, it may be necessary to dim unavailable controls. This is
+done on the component level so that a control has a normal and a dimmed state,
+for example, toolbar button.</p><p>Dimming indicates that the
+control is temporarily not available. For example, function is not possible
+for the focused item, but for the other items in the view. Dimming should
+not be used if the user never sees the control in active state within that
+view. In this case unavailable control is to be hidden.</p></section>

+Options menu items</title><p>The <uicontrol>Options</uicontrol> menu items
+are never dimmed. Instead, unavailable commands are either simply not shown
+or an Information note is given explaining why that item cannot be used at
+the moment.</p></section>
