Ok, so as of late, CAW has been giving me a red water and black sun reflection in the red water. It's really starting to annoy me because it's impossible to work with texture colours and stuff when it looks like that. At first I thought it was because of the skycolour mods I have and the CC starmap, but I took them out of the game to test, but it's still giving me the same grief.
I've uninstalled CAW and re-installed twice, but it doesn't help. It goes right back to the red water. The only thing that "helps" is choosing a height map of 100 instead of 200 or 300, it seems. But with 100, I can't make mountains... and i wanted mountains. Also, when I close a world (but not the program), the background of the window where you work on your world, goes completely red, instead of the default purple or something.
I've never dealt with INI sky colouring myself or anything, so I don't understand why, if weird colouring would be the deal. I've also never opened someone elses world in CAW.
Someone please help!! I want to make a world! ;_;

In the upper part of CAW, you have three things ( mine is in French so I don't exactly know how they're named, but it should be something sorta like this ) " File / Display / About "
You need to go in the Display thing, and then in " Hour ". It should open a little window with settings for the time of the day, how fast it goes, and the cloudiness. It's the cloudiness part that we're looking for. If you move it all the way to the left, it should be back to normal.
If it's already left, try moving it one time right, and then left again.
This need to be done every time you open CAW, though, so it's more a work around than a fix, but it's still that !
I'm guessing it's way too late to help you, but I figured I might as well put a solution here for future players that have this issue ( at least, when I first encountered it, it's the only place I found a problem similar to mine, so.. )
