Icon text transparent for folder portals

from Stardock Forums

Hi, 

I just got a new monitor (LG C2) and when enabling HDR on windows 10 (under the Windows display settings), the icon text appears as the same colour as the fence background, which makes them very hard to read. Some view types allow reading, as the text has a shadow (e.g icon view), but others the text completely disappears. Unfortunately when I try and take a screenshot, the issue disappears while greenshot (or windows screenshot tools) wait for the screenshot to be taken.

A few things I have tried

- Changing the colour/transparency of a Fence - this also changes the same for the text making it still vanish

- Turning off HDR mode - this does fix the issue but isn't a great work around

- Different views - all views have this issue

- Changing scale - this doesnt affect the issue

- Changing resolution - this also doesnt affect the issue

Any help on this issue would be appreciated 

Thanks

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues.

and HDR is a known issue ...

also your screenshots are to small to see anything ...

What version of Fences ?

Full numbered version of Windows ?

Hi AzDude,  

Thanks for the quick reply :)

Fences version 3.1.3.3

Windows Version 10.0.19044 Build 19044

If the HDR issues are not there in Fences 4 I would happily upgrade, but want to make sure that's fixed before I do.

Hopefully the screenshots below are more useful.

Thanks
