Option for light background choice Fences 4

Fixed with latest WB11

November 23, 2022 2:44:00 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Ran into a problem with illegible print in the Fences 4 config window. 

I wish the devs could simply add an option for a light background or even a gray background with a black font.

System info...Here's a screenie of the problem...and thanks for your attention.

 

I purged it and reinstalled, tried other skins, all without helping the situation.

Uninstall WB, reboot and install the very latest WB 11 build.

This should fix that.

Thats odd as fences config being Black was one of the fixes in the latest WB update.

What can I say? I uninstalled Fences 4, ran the purge .bat, rebooted and reinstalled Fences 4, rebooted...but the *poof* didn't occur.

If there are no other ideas, perhaps the light background option (i.e. forcing a white background) might work?

A separate question: Would Fences 3 have this problem with WB11? If not, perhaps the difference is causing the problem?

The issue is caused by the transparent background used in Fences 4 and only on Windows 11 I believe.  WB was interpreting this incorrectly and rendering it black when it should be white.

The issue is in WB hence the WB update needed rather than Fences.  I will get this investigated further to see why it isn't working as expected for you.
