Night time setting?

I'm going to be starting a new campaign, and I'd love to have the option to dim the map, for night time events that may will happen. Is there any way to make the map look like night time easily?

Moved to Specific Use Questions forum since this is a question rather than a suggestion. Yes, Dynamic Lighting (a Supporter level feature) can accommodate this.
Sorry, Didn't know which thread to post in. I rarely use the Roll20 fourms.
You might want to use the oldest trick in the book: Blue tint.
More specifically, creating some small little token and assigning it a colored aura that covers the area of the map can add a nice bit of ambiance without having to mess with dynamic lighting. Assigning a black aura makes things dim without really obstructing anything; white makes for decent'ish mist effects, etc.

@Mark G. -- That is an awesome tip! Just went and tried it. Very Very nice!!!
I am looking to play a D&D 3.5 game. I am new to online version of table top but I have played a bit of 3.5 in the past on the table such as it is. Every games i sign up for and get accepted it seems like the GM folds before we begin? I want to try this out? Is anybody out there about to run a game? I have most all books for 3.5 either in hardback or pdf and I just want to play! Could somebody help me out?
Hiya Eric. Posting on someone else' Technical post in Specific Use really isn't the place to be looking for a game. Watch the Looking for Group forums and take a look at the LFG tool. Finding a worth-while game can take days or weeks but it's well worth the wait.

This Pathfinder game I was talking about might happen soon, Im planning to run at least 3 sessions (Even if it turns into hell on earth for me at the very beginning) but I plan for this to be a 1-20 and beyond game. Pathfinder is basically 3.5 that's been updated. I think you would enjoy it. PM me your skype and I can fill you in on details.
