Ultimately there is a difference between affecting the personification of *you* by animating you or taking your controls or your camera hostage and changing how the world you are in looks. > Or malicious Windlight settings that blind you, because it's > "artistic" and "part of the shared experience"? > I've been banned from viewer UI design, for good reason. I end up with developer UI, and with 2.0 they managed to scrub the last remnants of my UI from SL. That aside, I could see 'reset the damn sky' as a top level action similar to 'stand' - a button on screen above the bottom bar maybe. And a good keyboard shortcut. Yes, it should be possible for a blinding sky to be part of an artistic shared experience, and it should be easy to get out of. And yeah, some advanced option for 'don't let my windlight settings change' seems like a good idea also. But the default should be for the windlight environment to be part of the content you are visiting. > > The enhancement request as it stands calls for a permissions opt-in > for having your viewer settings changed, and I support it in that > form. > I admit I only briefly skimmed the jira. I was mostly reacting to the panic I saw here. I don't think it needs a permission request in the case of parcel owners, but that is just my personal opinion. I do believe the environment should be promoted to being part of the content and not part of the viewer, I think we get more amazing in world experiences that way. - Kelly
