It's a good thing to do!
Published on August 26, 2008 By Mirsguy In Fences Beta
I just downloaded the first beta version of Fences, and do I ever like it! I am not one who usually keeps icons on the desktop (due to ObjectDock), however I do occasionally put things on my desktop temporarily. For those temporary icons I put there, fences is a wonderful invention! Thanks Jeff!

The only glitch I have found so far is that I am not able to right-click and drag out a new Fence while the RightClick program is running. When I right-click to drag out a new fence, my RightClick menu pops up. I had to unload RightClick, and then Fences worked like a charm.

It would be nice if the two could harmonize. Either way, I see this application becoming one of the greats from Stardock!

For some reason when I drag something onto my desktop some random icon comes out of its fence.

You need to treat your icons better, they're trying to escape...

Mirsguy - XP or vista? And what kind of file / shortcut / whatever. Thanks

Jeff: Vista Ultimate 64x. And dang! I can't remember what it was! That was a whole 4 days ago!

Okay, so the edit button still doesn't work. I think I remember what it was:

I just simply was trying to rename a file folder, and I think either an InDesign or Photoshop document. When I did so, sometimes it would stay put, sometimes it would pop out of the fence.

At the risk of restating whats already been said, I think this is possibly the most useful desktop element since WindowBlinds itself!!

If I could kindly disagree... This is the most useful desktop element since ObjectDock. ObjectDock came after Windowblinds. Sorry! I'm a dock freak!

Okay, another slightly annoying occurrance: I came to my computer this morning and found that a couple of file folders that are within a fence had thier folder icons changed to pieces of images. Even more strange is the fact that those image pieces are from a completely different folder! See image below:

hehe, ever read the story "Dogs' Night"...it's about dogs in paintings that get out once a year and then they get back in the wrong paintings.  One of my childrens favorites.

Having a bit of an issue I made screen shot the fences won,t show and the icons go kinda blacked out like shadows?

Using PrintScreen default or some other app?

 

Using Vista32 business and XP 32, default Windows printscreen, no issues.

Sorry Zubaz I guess I wrote that wrong .The screen shot is what it looks like applied just could not figure out how to explain it so I took the screen shot with the app open so you could see the way the fences are set up.What it shows is exactly what ny desktop looks like.

Note: when I try to hide icons they all turn dark.A little investigating I found that dark grey color is the highlight color which is set either (normally through display settings/advanced) but Windowblinds sets the color so it changes depending on the skin.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled w/reboot after each 3 x.Just not sure.

I'd start a new post for this.  I'm just not seeing what you are seeing.

Post you DXdiag too.  One never knows
