Description

Certain Windows notification dialogs like rename, copy to..., move to... or overwrite file dialogs are supposed to be ontop of all currently open explorer windows. this does not happen anymore when Fences and AERO is running.

When performing such operations the notification dialog opens and is behind all explorer windows and you cannot make the dialog gain focus or be ontop of all existing explorer windows.

Very recently, the Commission on the Theft of American Intellectual Property released an interesting (if 84 page long) report on preventing theft of IP. You can read it here: http://ipcommission.org/report/IP_Commission_Report_052213.pdf

It’s interesting because it proposes the use of malware to prevent theft. In other words, they suggested that malware (spyware, rootkits, ransomware and Trojans) can be deployed to test your computer for pirated software and lock it until you co...

Hello,

After using Fences for a while, I wanted to know if there is any way to disable the animation of icon movements. For instance, if I move an icon out of a fence, all subsequent icons show a very slow animation of moving back 1 unit.

I purchased Fences after the 30 day trial.  I downloaded the software and obtained the serial number which shows in my account.  However,  whenever I boot up my system - it keeps telling me my Fences Trial has expired and gives me a window to Purchase etc.  I have win7 with MS Office 2010.  How do I fix this?  It's irritating.

looking at upgrading my 4 year old computer - specifically so i can use larger maps in FE without crashing mid game. Same for Dreadlords.

 

It is not that i need a faster computer, the speed is fine, stability is the issue here. Currently i'm running Vista home premium 64 bit, 2.4 GHz Quad core, NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT graphics. It is a bit of an obstinate, over sensitive uncooperative system which spent the past 4 years forcing me to dumb down every bios and other settings availab...

Hi there! I have a bit of a problem with the Iconpackager, I set a theme for the icons on my computer and they all work with one exception - live folders. No matter which icon pre-set I choose from the ones that come with the Iconpackager the live folder always shows the default windows folder icon with the content inside.

I'm not sure why it is doing this? It doesn't matter which icon pre-set I choose it is the default windows one always. I'm using Windows 8 if that might be the ...

Win8, latest IP version, iIcons by Renato

I have tried all the "Rebuild..." options, rebooting, setting back to default and then choosing the iIcons set again, but I keep getting what's shown in the pic. When the folder first opens up, all the icons are correct, but then they change into the mish-mash shown.  Any ideas?

Hi!  I tried moving a fence to another page by dragging it to the left or right edge of the screen and no matter how long I hold it on the edge the page does not flip.  I can do it with a file but not with a fence.

I've been using Fences 2.0 for a few months now and I love it because it keeps all my desktop icons tidy and in conveniently named windows. Very useful, especially as some applications have an annoying tendency to mess up the traditional desktop icon placement.

I have three Fences for System, Benchmarks and Programs/Applications plus two Portals for my games shortcuts. The Fences use using grids which click to specific sizes when I make them bigger to accommodate the icons inside. Auto-ar...

The Australian Parliament has finally gotten off its duff and is probing the price gouging there.

This is getting ridiculous. It’s actually cheaper for an Australian to fly to the US and buy CS6 here than to buy it in Oz! Well, Adobe’s going 100% digital and dropping box sets, so that might well not be happening any more, but the Australian legislature is demanding answers. Good for them, and high time. This has been going on for decades.
