Since around April/May as I recall, the water in SL since the update around then went from nice shiney/reflective natural looking water to near transparent dark blue ink that looks like a flat sheet of plexiglass. The ground is clearly visible under it. No changes in any settings have had any effect on this, as well as changing to Emerald, or reinstalling a fresh full install of the latest SL official release. In every ty, in preferences/ graphics, the portion of the menu that shows "bump mapping and shiny" and the "reflection detail" are grey out- unavailable. ONLY the tic box for "Bump mapping and shiny" can be selected or not, the water reflections and all the rest cannot- they are greyed out. Ive tried changing the selection on and off, makes no difference. Ive assumed till now it was how SL changed it to be, but a friend sent a screen shot an hour ago from his laptop pc, and his water looks like mine did. Attaching a file of my menu and the water image I see, the menu is from Emerald, but the SL viewer has the same non-selectability for those radio buttons
