Multiple Error prompts - Portal Features in classic mode

from Stardock Forums

Upon starting up remote screen shares with my clients;

Fences' Folder Portals feature is unavailable in classic mode. Please enable Aero to use this feature.

 

Can this message please be suppressed with a tick box via Fences options?

Not yet (unless I've missed an update from Neil), but it's on the list of fixes. =)

I checked via right click on desktop --> Configure Fences, and it says Stardock Fences version 2.00.

This error seems to pop up for me when I use Chrome.  I'm running Fences 2.01.  (Windows 7, Aero, not Classic.)

I have two user profiles on my PC and this error occurs when switching between users.

As Windows turns off aero as part of the process to change users this is not unexpected.  It is being looked at.

Yesterday I purchased the latest version of Fences. 2.01. Windows 7. I'm still getting that error message. As far as I know, I'm using Aero, also. I'm the only user.

I've learned by experimenting, that having Transparency Enabled is NOT enough. My theme has been modified. I don't know if it's worth having the paid for version over the free version if I have to be stuck with one of the Windows Themes entirely.

Hopefully this problem will get resolved in Fences 2.02.

Every time I run remote software to access my clients computers, or an application turns off Aero, or my laptop unplugs and goes into "Power saving" mode, this prompt pops up. All these things happen multiple times a day, so I'm getting this message multiple times a day.

The next release will allow you to disable that prompt.
