What happened

The spotlight dims everything but its target, and the painter only dims while a presentation is running. Called on a stopped grid it changes nothing on screen. Stepping to a view also clears the spotlight, so arming it before the deck starts has no effect either.

The fix

Start the presentation, step to the view you want, then set the spotlight.
