      The Shadows toolbar no longer has the "turn off sun" icon.

          Thank you

          Totally off topic Bob but just saw your puter specs. Wow! And 4 x 27" monitors!
          Any chance of a pic of that setup?

            Thank you for being the only one to reply, kaas.

            I can understand putting the option on the tray, but why take it off the shadow toolbar???? Indeed, a bummer.

              I've followed both your questions but I'm not sure that I've understood it correct...

              You turn on shadows with this button (as always)?!

              Here's a nice explanation from Wo3dan about "sun for shading":

              "With shadows on you won't see the difference.
              With shadows off you may notice the difference by how your geometry is receiving light: Either the sun or the camera light is used. If you have the sun directly behind the camera, the differens will hardly be noticed

              p.s. if shadows is on you'll use sun for shading anyway."
