By default the Solid Background (color) is not Enabled until you click the button. When Disabled, Lumion View shows the real-world Sky and Clouds.
The color chosen, will be retained if you disable the solid background. Including when you have a new session of Lumion View (Stop then Start).
If you choose a single color background your Sky and Sun settings will still be used to generate correct lighting for the Ray Trace render. However there will be adjustments for the Exposure from the single color. Along with expected changes in the reflections.
