I've been dealing with the linden support people on an issue I been having with the standard client (It immediately crashes on me), so, they suggested I uninstall and reinstall both the standard client as well as the RC one to see if that fixes it. I did it, and I felt incredibly angry at myself for not backing up my windlight settings before I did that. I spent hours configuring several of them, so I will be using this page to document them mainly for myself (so I always have a backup here), but if anyone likes them, feel free to check out the settings and copy them to your own viewer :D
This is the main setting I've been using for Fashion Labyrinth photos, and just picture taking in general. You can see the effect on avatars, land, sky and water in this picture:
And, here are the settings to get this. You may want to click on the above picture to be directed to my Flickr page where you can view it in a larger size. :D Also note that while it isn't necessary to wear a face light, I do, in fact wear one made by Caliah Lyon (which you can find in her windlight setting notecard at her store, Muse).
I do hope these work for you, and make your windlight experience better. The pretty skies aren't all that intimidating as you may think :D

argh!! that sucks you lost your settings! I've been using the RC's mostly so I've gotten quite used to the silly "copy mai windlights" whenever I have to install a new version. But most people aren't going to remember to do this and I suspect when the RC becomes the new viewer theres gonna be a lot of unhappy campers who won't know or will forget.
But very nice settings! As soon as I get in world I'll try 'em :) I recently took this tack to post a picture and the an image of the settings so I won't lose one of my own fave settings.
I might actually do this with ALL my windlight settings even ones from other people just to have on my own computer. I'm a visual person and I spend too much time looking at a name of a setting and not remembering what it looks like, especially when I'm in a hurry. :)

I'm going to have to try your setting.. I like how natural it makes your skin tone look. I have been using Caliah Lyon's setting, which is great, but it tends to wash out my super pale skin tones I favor sometimes.

Fricka - Ah yeah - This one washes out light skin tones worse than Caliah's. My skin in this picture is supposed to be quite tan... Its brighter with my settings.
Caliah's was too dark for me, so I modified one where it was lighter. However, I did notice that the "Scene Gamma" makes washes things out - or darkens them .... perhaps you can slide that to be darker, so your lighter skins are less washed out?
