Rainbow Hands

I put my Rift on today and was surprised to see that I had new hands.
My memory isn't really good these days, but I don't recall ordering new hands. These new ones look like cheap shiny plastic, and are rainbow coloured. The worst part though is, when you look at the part where your arm normally joins the hand, they have mirrors in there.

I'm not a developer, but I'm guessing we're wasting a bit of GPU grunt on reflections that we won't ever use.

Could I respectfully ask, how do I get rid of my LGBTTQQIAAP hands which allow me to reflect on life? I just want "virtually real" hands thank you.

No Rainbow hands with mirrored ends in Oculus Home for me, just the nice standard whitish ones.  Maybe you have edited your avatar recently?  Maybe this has an effect on hand colour?  Don't know since I've never tried editing mine.

It's not just hands.  I've seen this while visiting other homes as well.....anything from rainbow clothes to avatars.  This is a bug and apparently has been around since 1.35.

Well I'm on 1.35 but, as I type, the update is downloading.

Edit: Just checked, still on 1.35, the whacko rainbow hands have been replaced with normal hands. So it looks like it is just a bug.
3 yrs of software "development" on a consumer product and no stable base. I wish I loved the doll's house stuff 'cos then it would all be worthwhile.

No Avatar editing done by me. The rainbow hands came and went by themselves.

Oh well, no pattern to the roll out there. I don't think Ontario and Brisbane are in any way connected.

 I would've given you mine if I could.
