Icons (still, but only occasionally) falling out of fences (Win 8.1)

Dear all / Stardock

 

The (very) old problem persists, albeit only occasionally: I have a fence down on the left side of my screen, and several fences across the middle of the screen, and sometimes operations on items in the middle fences, or, I think, on the general desktop, cause icons in the left fence to keep their position but drop behind their fence, or to jump to a difference fence.

Evidently this is a breakage in basic functionality and, thus, fairly serious.

Please help...

I have a problem/question re. Fences and using TWO monitors. Using latest Stardock Fences 2.12 on Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate SP1. 
Videocard is Nvidia GeForce GTX 670. I added a new monitor today - the new monitor is connected via HDMI (it has no DVI port), old monitor is connected via DVI. Both are 27" monitors and both are the same brand. However, all my fences remained on the old monitor, which is now my 2ndary. (I used to have a 22" monitor as 2ndary before.) My new ...

Today I wrote my final exam in mathematics.

The result is probably bad.

I have a week in the run-learned most of the time after class from 2-8 pm as after this time I cannot concentrate and soak up the stuff that is needed.

So I was very well prepared but the problem is that I am suffering from extreme exam anxiety ...
I tried several methods already to keep myself in the fence but without success.
Meditation, deep breathing, and trying to keep in mind that life is a test in itself...

Well half the year is done, and if you didn't notice over the weekend, June is finally here.  That got me to thinking what’s been going on so far this year on WinCustomize, and what we can try to accomplish in the remaining part of the year.

Back around March, we had a very successful community project done called Metall Tech.  After a rough start while trying to pin down the main skin, it all worked out and the authors here stepped up as usual and finished a beautiful suite of sk...

Hello all

I run Pinnacle Studio 15 video capture and edit on Win 7 Pro 64-bit and it keeps hanging when launching. Loading proceeds to anything

up to 88% which is the highest it has reached and it then hangs.

The program launched fine until today. The only change that I had made was to change from RocketDock to ObjectDock (32-bit), and

I wondered if there was any connection. I unloaded ObjectDock and tried Studio 15 again, and it launched fine.

Has anyone come across this before ?...

In My Account > My Downloads on the main Stardock site, the product key for my DesktopX is incorrect. The last block of numbers is completely different from the one I saved from original purchase (which is correct and works.)

Anyone else have this issue?

The picture below shows my latest attempt at growing a pineapple plant.  We’ll see what comes of it, but I do enjoy trying to get fruits and vegetables going, even if it’s in just a simple container.   I would really like to have a nice garden where I could plant several things, but where we live now really doesn’t give me a lot of opportunity to do that. 

Does anyone here keep any type of garden, and what types of items do you have in it?

I purchased Windowblinds, Modernmix, and Start8 and everything is working good except when I open an explorer window the background is all black and icons inside the window are all distorted and blurry. Here is a screenshot:

Is there any way I can fix this?

Hello:

I purchased WindowBlinds yesterday and found that in any skins other than the Default theme, the task bar in Windows 8 keeps sliding out (deploying), then sliding down (hiding) on my alternate monitors.  This happens on each extended monitor/screen and each one seems to go by it's own specific rhythm; they're not in time with each other.  As you might guess, this is annoying, but I'm also worried that it is causing Windows to use needless CPU resources.

DeskScapes is a very popular gallery here on WinCustomize, and it gets lots of downloads from users coming to the site.  Animated wallpapers are sometimes overlooked when getting a desktop setup configured, but there’s such a variety of choices  that it shouldn’t be ignored.  Landscapes are always a popular choice as they offer a subtle animated experience with a beautiful scene that gives a nice relaxing feel to your desktop.  Of course if you like something a bit more wild,...
