Until 1.9 was released, I have never encountered such an issue. However, when I use 1.9.x or 1.10.x, my skin becomes almost completely black:

I did not find any reports about this issue, if I have not looked enough or there is a solution, I apologise for posting this again. Thank you for your time.

P.S: If any further information /screenshots are required, feel free to ask for them.
