Hi,

Every time I get close to a fire, or other smoky objects, my icons turns grey. I tried with different clients, the offical and the Ender's custom one, and the same problem appears.
I read in another post that turning off shadows sometimes work but not in my case.
Any help?

it's a driver issue. In cases like this, trying different clients won't help. The best suggestion I can give is to update your drivers. The next best is to make sure your graphics are running in 32-bit color depth. Some old programs will cause the desktop to switch to 16 bit without changing back. What graphics device do you have in your system? (Note: some older intel GPUs are the biggest culprits with this. Best suggestion then is to replace it if possible.)

There has been issues with this for a while, and seems like I recall attempts at debugging it being made, but I don't recall specifics off the top of my head. I'll check a couple of things and see if I can find it, but I don't make promises. (maybe someone else will recall the exact details and be able to post it.) here's the best thread on the matter: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=11168&hilit=smoke+icon#p155977

I use a Nividia GTX770 so I don't think my graphic card is too old to handle that (unless I experienced a time jump to the year 2020 without me noticing that, but I'd dismiss that probability). The issue was probably driver related as I just updated my graphic card and the problem went away. At least for now. Thank you for your help ;p
