How can you change the background of the sky? I do not mean to click on F7.

Press the TAB menu and you can change the skybox from the drop down that appears.

You Press TAB twice and then you'll have a dropdown list to select the skybox you want to use.

Are you in the editor or in a stand-alone game? TAB only works when in editor test mode. So, you actually have to run the test game. It doesn't just work in editing mode.

Yeah sorry forgot to mention you have to be in test-mode to do it.



I personally would love to be able to access the same settings from the windowed editor mode. I find using the graphical interface while in test mode isn't precise enough as a windows based sliders and dropdowns. But meh... maybe thats just me.



Glad you figured it out!

It's not just you. I think a lot of these settings should be accessible in the editor without entering test mode.
