We decided that mods shouldn't be interacting with other mods. This can be added once we have the ability to have per-mod settings, as a difficulty setting local to blinds.
There are now skinnable actual blinds (shoji screen panels)
The black overlay is still behind them to avoid cheating with skins
The blinds don't open linearly anymore, they are health squared now
When easy mod is on, there is always a little gap open
