When HDR is on (and you have an HDR Monitor) Feilds with dropdown text are blurry. As soon as the dropdown is selected it the text is readable. Disabling HDR also fixes the issue. I can't capture this with a screenshot since blurriness goes away when I try so I had to take one from my phone.
Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues.
The HDR is a Known Issue and is being looked at .

Thanks for the reply! It's good to know it's a known issue.
Sorry for posting this in the wrong sub-forum. I did it early this morning before I was caffeinated. Never post before an Espresso is my tip of the day.
Hello,Sorry to hear you are having issues. From what I know the known issue was resolved on Fences V4. And I can not reproduce your issue on my system. I am on Windows 10 BTW.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that this is on Windows 11. According to a recent Microsoft KB it also might be a known issue with HDR and Windows 11.
"After installing Windows 11, some image editing programs might not render colors correctly on certain high dynamic range (HDR) displays. This is frequently observed with white colors, which could display in bright yellow or other colors.
This issue occurs when certain color-rendering Win32 APIs return unexpected information or errors under specific conditions. Not all colorprofile management programs are affected, and color profile options available in the Windows 11 Settings page, including Microsoft Color Control Panel, are expected to function correctly."
I see this issue is over a year old but I am on the newest release of Fences v4.10.06 and this issue is still present. I have a second non-HDR monitor so I can move the Fences option screen to that monitor to read the drop down menus. Just thought I'd report the issue is still present as of 05-03-2023

Fences 4 is not compatible with HDR at this time, but it is something we are looking into for future updates

This is still not fixed one year later...
Then i would like to know if it is working in fence 5 ?
Not sure if it still there on Fences v5, but you can always do a free 30days trial on Fences v5 and check it. I don't have a Windows 11 on HDR capable monitor to test.
Thank you,
I am on fences V5.54 and I no longer have an issue reading the menu text on my HDR monitor. This issues appears to be fixed, at least for me.
Thanks for checking! I now have a reason to upgrade.
