Yes, you can find the current button inside GeneralOptions.htm inside the ui folder. It's this part
that you would put on a button:
onclick="moi.settings.editIniFile();"

It is already set up like that by default. If it isn't working like that for you, then you've probably modified a
setting in moi.ini. Look under [Hidden lines] HiddenLinesSelectedOnly=y
The default is HiddenLinesSelectedOnly=n

You can adjust the opacity level in moi.ini under:
[Hidden lines]
HiddenLineOpacity=34

That can take a value from 0 to 255. You can also alter the line style under:
[Hidden lines]
HiddenLineStyle=Dashed

That can take one of "Solid", "Dotted", "Dashed", or "Long Dashed".
