Timeline

  Drag the downward-pointing arrow to scrub through what the day looks like at a given time. Nodes (the "bumps") on the timeline are keyframes which you can drag to set. Each corresponds to a sky preset. As the time of day progresses, the sky "animates" as it interpolates between these keyframes.
Add Key

  Creates a new keyframe at the the arrow's location. After setting a keyframe, you can change the Key Preset.
Delete Key

  Deletes the currently-selected or last-selected node.


Length of Cycle

  Sets how long it takes a complete timeline to animate. The default Second Life day is 4 hours, meaning the timeline happens in 1/6th of real-world time.
Sky Setting

  Choose from the list of sky settings.
Time

  Click the arrows to move the selected key .
