Tap twice then swipe

Oh wait, now that I noticed. It seems you have the accessibility menu enabled. Have you enabled any option like high contrast text or similar?

Running out of ideas. Did you check your accessibility settings, just in case?

I would try changing every possible value for the dock, disabling the dock background as a starter, and see if those changes apply or leave the dock unaltered.
