If I understand correctly, the new value about darkening/not darkening the sky along with the ambient values - if set to 0 the sky will be brighter and not be affected by the screeneffects changes as much?

Yes, you are correct.
After installing the latest version, I noticed that I couldn't see the starts at night. Someone pointed out that there was an INI setting to disable the sky darkening. Although I can now see the stars, there is now a ring of light around the edges of the sky. I guess that has to do with the sky still being lighted. Could a setting be added that only darkens the sky enough to get rid of the ring of light without fading out the stars as well? I like to use really dark nights (80+% or Original) so looking up a bit and seeing a light sky has a pretty jarring effect, but seeing the moon and no stars is worse. For now I'll leave the sky darkening disabled. I have a few screenshots of this sky that I can upload.
Thanks for all of the updates!

I am also having the brighter ring when using about 50% darker nights and the "not darkened" sky setting.
I'm convinced it's a trade off, you either get darker skies or you get the ring.
Personally, I like my brighter night skies and can deal with the slight horizon banding.

Yes, I use Normalize night ambient.
And actually, I just remembered I'm also using a stars texture replacer, I think it's Real Night Sky v2.
But my stars are still brighter than what is shown in the above poster's pics. (Even with 50% darker nights I can still see stars, they're not completely obscured, just dimmer)
And I only get the horizon banding during cloudy days, on a clear or stormy night the texture blends pretty seamlessly with the horizon with the "no night sky darkening" option enabled.
I'm pretty satisfied with the added option, the banding only appears on foggy/cloudy weather which I figure is acceptable trade off to have for nice starry clear nights.

@CorePC: When I enable the sky darkening option, I can't see the stars.
@DarkDragon: I always have the band of light unless the weather is stormy (and I don't know about fog.) I'm using Real Night Sky as well, so that is kind of odd...
With EW134 and 80% darkner nights, I could still see the stars. The only update I have made is going from EW134 to EW135. On another note, I probably should have uploaded an EW134 picture when I wasn't using Night-eye. Maybe I should take a look through my screen shots...

Yes, the banding is a trade-off unfortunately. I can have a look at the colour values for the stormy weathers, as they seem to not get banding, and then try to do something similar with the other weathers. I'm not sure if any changes are possible though. :shrug:
I've just had a weird 'issue' (latest version of EW, OBSE 0017a). I opened the console to take a screenshot, and I noticed that the console buffer was full of error messages from one of the EW scripts - the script in question is EWETSIScript, and it was reporting errors on the ForEach, [ and <- statements. Now, I'm assuming from the 'SI' in the script's name that it only applies to SI weather - but I was in the vicinity of Vilverin/Sideways Cave at the time. I returned to the IC and saved, then reloaded, and haven't seen any of these errors crop up in the console since. I hadn't seen any of these errors in the console previously, for that matter. So it's probably something funny going on my end - I just thought I'd mention it in case there is a syntax problem with that script (I'm not familiar with OBSE scripting).

OK, I'll take a look at the script. Thanks.
Have you made a patch for Elyswer Yet?
No, I'll probably need a better GetCurrentClimate to do that, but I haven't looked into it. I'll need to download the mod. Is it freely available for download, and if so, where?
Since there isn't much point in making a new thread...
Does anyone else have a problem with screeneffects? When its active in my mod list, after everything loads...suddenly I lose ALL my textures, except the UI. But all the graphics suddenly turn graish white, and I can't see anything. I fix it by deactivating it...but I guess to use Enhanced Seasons I need screeneffects? I deactivated that too, since I'm pretty sure I can't use it with out that problem mod.
might be a compatibility issue too? I use darker dungeons, enhanced weather darker nights 50%, storms and sounds, rainbows, windows lighting system, alive waters and qarl 3 texture pack redimized. Only graphical mods I use...oh and had another one that enhances vegetation, forgot name of it though. It doesn't have an esp though, was just a texture folder.

Check that you don't have any values set at zero in your EnhancedWeather.ini, that could cause your grey screen. Also check if it happens with only the ScreenEffects.esm loaded, and not EnhancedWeather - Enhanced Seasons.esp.
