Hi, wonder if anyone can give me any insight. The other day I noticed that some colours had changed in SL e.g. the bottom of the bath is red rather than the same colour as the rest of it. The glass doors in the house are a dull burgundy colour. There are some other things that should be white are pink tinged. I am the only one seeing them like this. I have cleared my cache and had a look at my vid settings (I haven't touched them). Anyone any ideas?

Thanks

It sounds like "show transparent" was turned on

in your menu settings you have inadvertently switch show 'transparent' objects on, which does so by tinting such objects red. I can't remember which menu it is under right now.

Yosef, that is exactly the colour I am seeing, however it's not that as I checked that first.

Yeah!

Oh well check again, and relog, if the problem persists then I don't know.

Thanks guys....solved it, I think. 'Beacons are always on' was checked, I unchecked it and voila normal colours. The weather station board has disappeared from outside tho. It's there in transparent view hmmm. Oh well at least I don't have a bath that looks like something from a crime scene anymore :D

If there was a feature I would like to see added it would be a button to put everything back to it's default setting.

I can't get in world to check for a few hours. There may be a debug setting (and there are many to dig through) from the client menu that got flipped somehow. If no one has a solution before lunch time, I'll see what I can find.

DOH!

Glad to hear it's working again.

If it isn't transparent surface related, then it has to do with sun light or time of day.
Textures some more then others by the time of day it is.
