Re: Enhanced Sky

Hi there guys, long time no see/read.
While trying out the first Beta release (release 0.11.0; Win64 build), I have noticed the Enhanced Sky mod gets broken when following conditions are met:
1. Retro mode rendering is turned on (doesn't matter whether with or without the additional retro features like palletisation etc.
2. The Large HUD is set to docked mode (LargeHUDDocked = True)
and
3. When you switch Fullscreen in-game, the Sky gets broken. It gets fixed after you restart DFU, but breaks again if you switch Full-screen again. So if you started the game with fullscreen turned on, it breaks when you turn it off, and vice versa. It's not a big problem, you simply should not touch the fullscreen option during a play session... just set your preference and leave it be.
On a side note to this wonderful mod, now that I played DFU after a looooong pause, it strikes me that the colour of the sky does not correlate with the overall scene lighting. Especially during summer (green grass everywhere) at midday (full sunlight). The scene is brightly lit with sunshine, but the sky is quite dark with some clouds... the sky is a lot darker then the world, and it looks out of place. Not sure whether there was any change in lighting in DFU recently (hah, with "recently" I mean something like a year or so... ), or maybe it's just my eyes...
