background colour of desktop changes to black when Mouse is rolled over icons

Hi,

In Fences 5 installed on my Windows 11 PC , I am finding that my desktop screen which has a blue background starts changing to a black screen when I roll my mouse over the screen until it totally turns to a black background. If i swipe across to another screen the background changes back to blue. I have created a screen clip to show it happening bt cannot find a way to send it to the Forum.

Does anyone know why it is happening please?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Are you using Windows Solid color as a background? If yes, try using normal wallpaper does the issue go away? If so, try this instead using Windows solid color wallpaper, just create a solid color wallpaper and use that wallpaper instead. Try this one: https://mdigi.tools/solid-color-image-generator/

Thank you,

When you hover, Fences might be hiding or switching the wallpaper incorrectly. Try toggling “Show Desktop Background” in Fences settings. Make sure your graphics drivers and Fences are updated. Also, check if Windows Dark Mode or Focus features are causing it. Test with Fences off to confirm. For your clip, upload it to a free service (like Imgur) and share the link on the forum.
