IconPackager seem to be really buggy on Windows 7 and it won't remember any IconPackages that aren't default. I will create a new icon package, copy it to the IP folder in Shared Documents, add it through IP and continue on my merry way...until I want to change the icons. Then one of two things will happen: The icon package will have disappeared from the list, or some icons will have disappeared from the package. It's really annoying because it means I have to manually reset each pac...

I think that I isolated this problem to happening after the computer has been in sleep mode.

If I unroll fence temporarily SOMETIMES the background will change color to black.

If I move cursor across icon without clicking SOMETIMES the background will change color to black.

The background SOMETIMES later changes returns to the normal background with normal operation of clicking icons etc.

 

I am running Fences 3.03 and Win 10.

Malwarebytes has changed: Used to be, there were three programs: Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit, and Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware. The first two were available as free (with limited features) and the third as a beta.

I'm a new Fences user, so far loving it. My desktop has never been so organized! I wasn't even aware of the Desktop Pages feature until after I bought it. However I was surprised to see it's not actually a virtual desktop per-say (I can switch between sets of fences and various desktop layouts, but open windows aren't "fenced" into those desktops). Are there any plans to implement a feature like this?

So I upgraded to the new fences. And I liked the idea of having the roll-ups along the edge of my main screen, and just moving the mouse over them when I need to access the apps / date / folders. But when I do this, they unroll underneath the existing windows. What use is that? Is there an 'always on top' setting that I'm missing?

I'm not running any other customising software, just plain Windows 10.

I am so sorry I renewed my subscription.what a waste of 30.00 .

Since installing v 10.50 the Taskbar icon area background has become much lighter and has made it harder to see some white icons. Is there a setting that can change the colour.

Hi.

WindowBlinds 10.5 is causing the date and time in the taskbar to be cut off by the show desktop button. I have the taskbar position set to the left of the screen as I find it to be a more efficient use of screen space. I have found a temporary fix by resetting the position of the taskbar back to the bottom then returning to the left side of the screen, but the problem recurs almost immediately.

I am using a Surface Pro 4 128GB, 4GB ram, running Windows 10 pro anniversary edition fully ...

My computer did the mandatory MS update sometime over the weekend (around 12-9-16), and it brought back a massive compatibility issue I had from the early days of Win10. It pretty much disables all video out except for my cursor (the rest os a black screen; if I hit esc a bunch of times it'll flash the vnc error window i sometimes get).

Running Win10 with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970, with updated drivers on everything and I even tried a clean install of windowblinds, too.
