Micheus,
Since the light setup is saved in the render settings I can still merge in light setups, so having the background settings there is ok.
Not sure if it will confuse newbies when they create an "Ambient light" and it has no influence on the scene. This confused me when I was playing with Pov-Ray when you worked on it....
Kerkythea does compute/export ambient lights present in the scene. So we might ask what the standard should be...
The way YafaRay is now is probably not the best method with background settings under both Ambient and Infinite lights. Maybe background settings should only be under Ambient light. Moving them to render settings would probably be easier to code... I think it would be good to let the user know under the Help for YafaRay that Ambient lights are not used.
Thanks,
oort
