Vertex Shading darkens my skin

After checking out the latest preview, i am no longer able to have ripple water unless i swap it for a miscolored avatar. I'm not very happy either way, and not looking foreward to this release. You got me hooked on ripple water, now you take it away. Well if i have to pick or choose i'd pick my avatar.

Here is what my Mobian Fox Avatar normally looks like.

Now here is what I look like with Vertex Shaders on.

On my monitor i have a light grey body and white prims. Normally i'm ALL white.

PS: Excuse the look on my av's face. He's feeling a little down.

Arg... It's not too noticable but yea i see.
