Skybox does not show up in Scene mode...
I am adding in a Skybox to a 3D level and I have it connected to my Camera child under the FPSControl parent. In Inspector, the Custom Skybox is checked and it appears when I run it in Game mode. I am trying to add a lens flare to the directional light source and I have but for some reason under scene mode, it won't show the skybox.
I know the answer is right under my nose...
Thanks in advance!

Yes, that is because it is a component of your camera and is only rendered while your camera is active in game. Within your scene, you are using your scene camera. That is normal behaviour.
If you'd like to see your skybox both in-game and in-scene, go to Edit > Render Settings > Skybox Material and choose your skybox material. :P
Hope that helps, Klep
This does not seem to work in Unity 4.2, the Skybox is not visible in Edition $$anonymous$$ode.
Am I crazy or is this no longer an option in Unity 5? I don't see Render Settings under "Edit" menu anymore...
Edit -> Render Settings was for old Unity 4. Unity 5 has this functionality in the Window -> Lighting menu.

In the scene view under "Effects" Skybox can be turned on and off, so it will be visible in scene view or not.

The solution for this has changed in Unity 5. ("Edit" > "Render Settings" is no longer an option.)
To set a custom skybox that overrides the default and shows in the Scene View (and on all of your cameras with Clear Flags set to skybox), you go to "Window" menu > "Lighting" and then in the inspector under "Environment Lighting" set "Skybox" to a custom skybox material you've created.
Same as Bubu2006 - this also did not work for me. All effects boxes are checked and the skybox does show up when the game is running, just not in the scene view. (2020.1.6)
