OK OK OK! Thanks so much for the feedback thus far. =^_^=

Re: shiny looking dull, known issue.

So’s several crashing ones: crashing on Edit Land, toggling VBO, and possibly at login.

Massive framerate hits are highly undesirable, make sure you report those with your system config @ http://jira.secondlife.com To get your system info while logged in Help menu > About Second Life, copy and paste that. It also helps to turn on Client menu (Ctrl-Alt-D) > Consoles > Fast Timers and attach a screenshot to your reported issue.

Please remember to set Affects Version/s = WindLight so we can find it easily! If you’re confused at all, this is what an issue should look like:

» https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-896

We’ll let this valuable feedback of yours gel and compile further known issues in another promised blog update as THE SAGA OF WINDLIGHT IN SECOND LIFE CONTINUES!

Thanks to each and everyone of you who’ve taken the time to try it out so far.

Is wonderful!!! The light effect is cool. Just a few small issues, like: objects with bright don’t look right, and light from objects is not visible at night. The rest is wonderful!

I have to say btw, when setting it so that everything is completely black,
hardware lights don’t lit the area, I think it would be cool to have
the ability to make total dark sims with hardware lights to lit stuff.
Could make an excellent creppy sim that way….I guess.

And ye, reset button like nr. 79 said.

Oh and, sometimes the water effect seems to get messed up?

Re: bugs vs. features, I hope you all read the last section of the first WindLight post. Just to let you know!

Fixed bugs, on our Issue Tracker, are broadly viewable.

The effects look cool. But settings are very complicated. Hope there are some simple defaults. Just a request. Alot of people have particle effects that depend on a DARK night sky. I sell particle effects that depend on darkness. In the past it has been very simple to set MIDNIGHT to see these effects. PLEASE make sure there is still a simple option to see good particle, lighted texture, and other lighting effects that people have spent alot of time and money to create and purchase.
