Set "Reflection Environment" image via API

DRoam — Tue, 03 Sep 2019 13:25:13 GMT

We can change several color scheme options under either Application.ColorSchemes (for global color settings) or Application.ActiveColorScheme (for scheme-specific color settings). I see most options from the Application Options\Colors tab available in one of those two places, except for one: the "Reflection Environment" image.

Is there an API method for setting the Reflection Image somewhere that I'm not seeing?

I found it using intellisense in Visual Studio. The API is there and works fine, it's just not documented. The method is:

ColorScheme.ReflectionEnvironmentFileName

This should be added to the documentation. @ChrisMitchell01, are you the right guy to ping for documentation issues?

Good that you found this; I'll request that it's documented.

Thanks,

So apparently you "found" an API that we didn't plan to fully support until 2020.2; that's why it's not documented yet. As far as i know you should be Ok to use it though.
