Double-clicking on the desktop reveals my Fences but I cannot do anything with them.  The icons arew dead, the fences cannot be moved.  The fence menu doesn't do anything and couble-clicking to hide the Fences doesn't work.  I have them automatically disppear after a few minutes if I have a window open and that does work.

I can't find the threads where people were having similar problems.  Was there ever a resolution?

I'm running W10 64 bit pro and Fence...

Hi. I'm running WindowBlinds on Windows 8.1, there's no problem with anything considering the UI, themes or anything like that.
I just have a problem making it load on startup for all users.
For the user that installed it on the computer it loads, but when logging out and logging in as a second user, I get the default windows UI.
Any easy way to fix this? Tried running wbload etc manually but didn't do any difference.

When you browse the WindowBlinds gallery on WinCustomize or go directly to a WB skin page, do you look for anything that describes what OS the skin will be compatible with?

If so, do you look at the description, or the older Win7 compatible icons (if skinners check that)?

Or, do you not worry about it and just download it and see how it works?

People don’t know it…because Adobe hasn’t told them. Yet. I use Bridge all the time to organize my images, but have recently gone over to Lightroom to do my cataloging because I can do basic adjustments and use presets and then edit further in Photoshop (there are just things Lightroom can’t do) and then take them back into Lightroom to finish, if I need.

Windows 10 enables the creation of multiple "virtual" desktops. However Fences 2.12 does not seem to provide a way for each Windows Virtual desktop to have it's own set of fences and icons. Does anyone know how to enable Fences to display different sets of fences and icons on each Windows 10 virtual desktop?

First I had the last freeware version of fences installed in Windows 7. This worked after a few weeks but no longer correct. The windows no longer scrolled, not move nor delete was possible. It could be purely no icon or move in or out.


Therefore, I have now bought the current version and installed over it.


Unfortunately, this has not helped. Persist the error even after uninstalling and fresh installations.

And its getting even worse.


I then adjusted the Registry and d...

Some background to my problem so bear with me as I feel it necessary to really explain my unique problem..... I've been on Windows 10 almost from the day it was released.  First thing I noticed was that WindowsFX 5, which I had installed on my Windows 7 install did not work and quickly found in the forum that it wasn't compatible.  So I un-installed WindowFX 5 and anxiously awaited WindowFX 6.  When it was released I installed it and things looked great.  But over the...

Just did a successful install of Windows 10 on a separate partition, got the dual boot. Now I'm trying to istall start 10, WB10 and Objectdock, but they keep failing. I'm told the product key is invalid and that through an offline activation. Neither one will activate with email and product key.

As you may know, Multiplicity is a program that lets you take your various laptops and PCs that you have nearby and combine them together as a single computer. It’s a great way to increase how much power a given user has available to them. Pretty much everyone at Stardock uses it, particularly the art and development teams.

There’s been some great technology coming out of the Multiplicity 2 project.  One of which was released as a stand-alone program – Acoustic Bridge.
