You're right about that, but the actual contrast steps are more than
the 0-9 that's displayed. And what I thought was that you change the contrast
perhaps 10 times a sec, until contrast 0 will be reached (if you fade out).
With new batteries, it won't take long (probably give no fade effect at
all), and with old batteries it will perhaps take a second or two.
The only problem I can see is if the user quits the program when the
contrast is wrong. In that case, he/she'll need to reset it manually.
Anyway, I'll try it and see if it is any good!
