App names on home screen have a glow or halo effect around them

I just updated to iOS 16 on my iPad Pro, and the apps' names on my home screen suddenly had a glow or halo effect to them. This doesn't happen when I use the default iPad wallpapers. How do I remove them? Thanks in advance.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 16

You will note that the background shadow only appears behind white-text against a light-coloured background image.
