Adjust Standard Fog of War brightness?

With the recent UI change, as far as I can tell they have completely removed the ability to adjust the standard, manual fog of war's opacity/brightness. Where the heck did it go? I am forced to use manual fog of war because UDL crashes Roll20 on maps the size of Dungeon of the Mad Mage.  The place where you would normally adjust brightness is greyed out when UDL is turned off.

Do you mean Advanced Fog of War in the legacy system?  Standard fog of war is just drawing black boxes to cover the map in roll20, its what the free to play users get.  AFAIK there was never a setting for the level of brightness the fog was in uncovered areas in AFOW, that was a feature in UDL with Explorer Mode or something?  Also even if you got AFOW to work in DotMM, its highly recommended you don't use it in complex maps with entities on the dynamic lighting layer cause the delay when a player drops their token is so bad it just ruins the immersion.  Its like 1 entire second per 50 entities in the DL layer and DotMM has a TON of dynamic lighting lines.  If you want the players to maintain a memory of their travels use the breadcrumb method.  Either manually drop breadcrumb tokens down behind them or theres an API floating around somewhere that someone made that does it automatically.  
I've been using Roll20 for 9 years, Standard fog of War (manual, not dynamic) had an opacity slider that is no longer there.

It's still there, but hidden under the LDL settings. Go to the DL tab, click to activate legacy dynamic lighting. Turn off all LDL settings once the options become available. The darkness slider is there at the bottom, and still works. It should probably be reported in the UDL feedback thread, that the setting needs to be retained specifically for FoW.
Thank you! What a terrible place to put it.

I feel it's an oversight.
