That's not an option. There is no independent "skydome shader" anymore. This whole confusion is generated by it being left enabled in 2.6. It shouldn't have been, and we should not perpetuate that mistake. There's only the default sky that works together with the "normal" shaders , or the Atmospheric scattering stuff which supersedes the old "skydome shader". The Atmospheric scattering is a whole set of shaders, that interact to give a seamless horizon, and much more... They replace all other shaders when enabled, that's hardcoded in the effects, and it needs to be otherways it wouldn't work. So you'd end up with a dialog full of sliders that do nothing... There is a red warning in the dialog, anouncing to users that by enabling the Atmosperic stuff will lead to much of the shaders being replaced. (Of course on top of this there's Rembrandt, with its own set of shaders and issues.)
