Kokua Team Contributions

-  The default for draw distance slider on the status bar is now off. New users were confusing it with the master volume slider. Draw distance slider can be set to be on with the debug variable "showdDSlider".

-  Added under Advanced and Commands is Refresh scene selection. Operationally it deselects Preferences->Graphics->Advanced->Basic shaders once deselected the frame rate will increase dramatically due to decreased rendering load and quickly pull in the basics of a scene next, an information message is printed to give a little more time with out shaders then, Basic shaders are returned to enabled which dresses the scene. This can be tested by manually following the steps above. This helps to mitigate the missing prims issue.
