Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need more information please.

1. You on Windows 10 or 11? Also, need its full version number. Please use Winver.exe
2. Fences version numbers.
3. Post few screenshots or video of your issue.

Thank you.

Hello,
Do you see that black text when those icons is outside the Fences? Or if you disable Fences do you still see the black font's instead of the normal white text?

Thank you.

That shows the black text is not due to Fences. Please check if other application or modification done to make that text change color from black to white. You can verify it further by uninstalling Fences from your system and reboot.

Thank you,
