Reply to Disable Auto Update in Fences Stardock Forums

Running 3.08.1 and I dont see any box to uncheck to stop auto update. where is it? Oh, thats right, it doesn't exist in-app. One has to run the registry key addition batch file, because??? Why doesn't the program have an in-interface checkbox to update its own registry keys! Is stardock deliberately trying to trick people into updating to a version their subscription does not entitle them to? So they are more inclined to just purchase another years wort

Make Fences honor the 'adjust for best performance' setting in System Properties > Visual Effects in Fences Stardock Forums

I use Fences for productivity reasons, not for visually appealing eye candy. Could you please have add settings within Fences that are optimized for Performance / minimal resource utilization. I don't need to see a pretty animation of the icons drifting from my desktop to the Fence. I don't need to see animations at all really. Please add low resource/performance options - I still prefer the way Fences 2.0 worked. Also, why

Reply to Duration of license (9.99$) in Fences Stardock Forums

The answer from stardock should then be something like... We aim to release a new version every X years, and maintain updates for X+Y on existing versions. Version 3 was release on Z. Whats to stop stardock from just releasing a new major version every 6 months? Please point us in the direction of the release roadmap or something... I own fences 3.x, but I'd prefer to have access to all older versions, not just the latest... an older version may not have

Single Column of Icons Fence not working when scaling at 100% in Fences Stardock Forums

Windows 10 Fences 3 (uptodate) When setting scaling to 100% in Display Settings > Change the size of text, apps and other items, icons inside fences to not honor fence ratios. If I set the value to 125% or higher, the icons will line up vertically when fence is dragged/set to 1x5(as per tooltip when dragging corner) If I set the scaling to 100%, they autosort into two columns, even when the fence is dragged/set to 1x5 (as per tooltip when dragging corner)

How to disable/have no title bars like v1 when no text is added. in Fences Stardock Forums

When setting up fences in V1, if I didn't assign a label to the fence, it had no title bar, I like it like this. I have fences around icons which I are of an obvious type, and these are arranged hard up against the top of the screen and underneath each other. These rolling out title bars without text in them are causing an unsightly overlap of fences. Now it seems that title bars for fences are mandatory, I cant find an option to disable them, its making me want to revert to v1 :(

Multi monitor in lock and screensaver mode in DeskScapes Stardock Forums

Windows XP allowed the background in locked mode or screensaver mode to present on all monitors. MS decided that this wasn't something anyone needed and removed it from Vista onwards. I've been looking for a tool which would set the background on all screens (3 in my case) on the locked screen (where it can show the date and weather), when being unlocked, and when in screen saver mode - the default is only to display on the primary screen. Does DeskScapes provide this
