Changing the intensity of the default lighting

Post by Storen3 »

Is there a way to change the intensity of the default lighting in the 3D viewport (Shaded/Flat lines draw style)? The default seems a bit too dark.

I am using the latest build (0.20.2) on Win 64bit.

You should provide your full version info (follow the link in the red banner).

Banner? I am not sure I understand. Do you mean the "About" screen?

The pink/red banner at the top of the forum explains, that if you click the 'Copy to clipboard' button shown in this image, it places on the clipboard all the details of your FC install and the system it is running on...complete with markdown tags. This mean that all you need do is right click and paste, to provide all that information in a forum post.
