From Graham... ALM sky is done in fragment shading now, that detail setting only affects vertices (so non-ALM rendering) because rainbows...
Steps To Reproduce
Use a simple sky setting with no clouds and an obvious sun.
Compare how the sun looks when using a legacy viewer & an EEP viewer when you change the Sky Detail setting in preferences.
Preferences -> Graphics -> Advanced Settings -> Sky (The debug setting is WLSkyDetail).
See Fig 1 attached.
I attached a suitable "legacy" windlight xml to test on both viewers with - you can import this into EEP
Attached images show results using this sky setting.
Observed Behaviour
Fig 2 gif shows the behaviour on default release/legacy viewer when changing the Sky Detail setting.
Fig 3 gif shows behaviour on EEP when changing the Sky Detail setting.
On EEP viewers, changing the Sky Detail setting appears to have no effect.
On legacy viewers, Sky Detail setting works as expected & there is a very noticeable change in sky detail when changing the setting.
Expected Behaviour
Either the Sky Detail setting should work or if it is deprecated in EEP, the setting should be removed from Preferences.
