Hello,

you got a few things wrong :) In fact, I meant the word "solid-shaded" mode.
Did he mean solid mode OR shaded mode, or both?

The difference between solid, shaded and potatoe mode is fundamental, and
neither can be removed. Maybe take a look at the documentation :)

See above. Short summary:

- Solid mode: OpenGL workbench light, artificial
- Shaded mode: Render-like lighting and texturing (if subdivided enough)
- Potatoe mode: GAME ENGINE lighting (TOTALLY different).

I'm always surprised appearently long-term pro users still don't know
the very basics of blender's functionality :)
