Try it yourself, I just did. The difference with Fences running is just 3MB :) (If you're running on XP, you'll experience a few MB more ; on XP it has to load the background image in to memory also)

So for those having problems with DeskScapes & Fences on Vista, did restarting help for anyone? Or no. Thanks

Hi Aberneth, If you resize the "months" fence taller, does the top of the icon beneath it begin to show? Also, XP or Vista? Guessing XP? Thanks

Hi Michael, are you speaking about the "create new fence" option? If so, see mickeko's message above. Let me know if that didn't work or if that wasn't it. Thanks!

boofus - lol nice bug. does this problem go away if you reproduce, and then right click the general area of your desktop and choose "auto arrange"? Also, XP or Vista... and multimonitors? or one. i'm assuming one. thanks!

Hi gm3000, yes Neil is correct Fences loads as part of explorer. If you'd like to observe a 'rough' figure you may start by killing explorer, renaming the DesktopDock.dll module (or DesktopDock64 on 64bit) of Fences, starting explorer/measuring...then repeating and putting it back.

mickeko - are you using XP or Vista? If Vista, is UAC enabled? Using DeskScapes or DreamScene? Playing a video dream? Just takin some stabs... snapshots should definitely show the icons on them as well! Currently I don't forsee having Fences allow for no-alignment (e.g. free-floating icons within them) primarilly as I don't have horizontal scrolling available at this time. perhaps at some point :) I do hope to have Fences be able to show folders on the desktop... imagine right

Bsloss - Try updating the latest version now on Impulse - (v0.95, just updated Sunday). How far does that go to help with your complaint? P.s. Thanks for the kind words!

JoDa, that's wierd, I do see it on your account. You've tried reloading Impulse once after it loaded & connected, I imagine? (E.g. it updated...let it connect & pull down new data, then restart it.) It should definitely be showing for you, even regardless of being installed or not. One random thing that probably won't help but would be helpful from a diagnostics step, head to "%allusersprofile%\Stardock\Impulse\data\public" and erase all the loose XML files in that

Hi guys, Unfortunatly, changing icon sizes per-fence or per-icon/etc isn't something I can do. Since Fences was written for compatibility / to work with the existing desktop rather than replace it, i'm stuck dealing with some of the desktop's "truths". And one of those is that, yeah, can't do that :S Selectively removing icon labels sounds pretty neat, but again anything that involves changing the size of an icon gets pretty dicey. The difficulty / level-of-sophistication requ

Hi James, Yeah Windows 7 - I haven’t written in compatibility yet. They changed the mechanism through which I get Fences loaded so I have to use a different method. Will be taking care of that immediately come “Beta 1”, so check back in sometime in January / a couple weeks after Win7 goes beta. Thanks

Hi shorty, A few things you might want to try, see if any work: (1) Disable UAC, or at least ensure that ObjectDock isn't being launched with admin privledges (not sure if this is involved, but just looking after the possbility). (2) Exit ObjectDock and launch it from Explorer's run dialog directly. The path for ObjectDock might be something like "%programfiles(x86)%\Stardock\ObjectDock\ObjectDock.exe". (This will potentially have an effect ObjectDock's

Hi winlover, glad its been working well for you! Hrm, so where have you noticed the increase in RAM usage? Also, XP or Vista? Thanks

that's odd. i'll have to see if there's some way i can disable it programmatically. regardless, *somebody* is setting a wierd setting to your desktop, and I know exactly what that setting is / active-desktop is the only thing i know of that sets it :-S
