I`m not a computer guy so this needs to be simple.  Been using Fences for years & just love it.  It`s always worked flawlessly until now.

I just upgraded and downloaded the new version 5.88 ( Revision 8 ) on Windows 11 Pro, Version 24HZ.

1) Under Personalization I cannot adjust the Fences appearances as a group ( All groups ) I have to adjust them all individually.

2) The current Fences cannot be moved or adjust the size, I can`t find a way to unlock it and is not showing  titlebar controls when I mouse over & the box is checked.
 
I`ve restarted the computer & even uninstalled & reinstalled to no avail.  What am I missing? Please help.

Did you, at one point, make visible the 'Lock Fences' option?

So apparently Fences did get locked. I unlocked it thanks to your help ( TY ). Now I can move the Fences & I have titlebar control but still cannot adjust color, fonts as a group.  I have to adjust each Fence individually.  How do I fix that please?

I downloaded the 5.89 Beta version.  Now I can change the font styles & size in "All groups" but I still cannot change the color of the fonts or fences in "All groups."  I have to adjust them individually.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. I can not reproduce your issue on my system. Need few more information.

  1. Windows 11 24H2 OS Build number. Please use Winver.exe to get it.
  2. Take a screenshot of all your Fences title, something like my screenshot below and post it here.
  3. Also, do you have any Fences name using special characters?

Thank you,
Basj,

Here are the screenshots you requested and none of my Fences contain special characters.  Thank you.

This is how I set the Fences title font color, are you using the same steps?

Thank you,
