So, just finished watching the most recent episode of Star Wars Rebels. Geeked out hard!

 

Spoiler ahead:



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 They announed early in episode that Ezra was going to Tatooine. Of course, first thing I think of is Obi-Wan! But then figured no way are they going to give us some old Ben action. Never been so happy to be wrong! The plot was that Maul was...

Hi

Im looking into maybe buying fences but i need to know a few Things.

 

My setup is a laptop with a dock and 2 pcs 24" monitors.

 

The resolution on the laptop screen and the 24" monitors differ.

Right now i have this problem that if i arrange the icons on the desktop they are not arranged if i take the laptop out of the dock.

 

So the question is : Will fences keep the icons arranged when i change from the 24" screens on the dock to the laptop screen. ? ...

Hi!

So everytime I restart windows explorer there is about 80% chance "Fences" don't recover (restarts). If I restart explorer once again most of the time Fences starts again ...

If I try to start "Fences" manually after it has failed.

I get  "Fences does not appear to be loaded. You may need to reinstall Fences" (see external link above)

 

UPDATE:

I created an easy workaround  

 

Follow these simple steps

1. open notepad

For about the past week, multiple, repetitive system messages from User Account Control Settings have been launching - 2 or 3 at a time - asking for permission for Fences to make changes to my computer: "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?"   Whether I choose Yes or No, the window closes, but generates another request, sometimes 3 or 4 in a row; if I just close the window it usually stays closed for another 30-60 minutes, then it happens again.

Heya - not sure who to contact. I'm a Founder for StarControl, and have been active on the founders forum since last year. A couple of days ago my account got logged out and I haven't been able to log back in (I've tried resetting the password multiple times).

I log in fine on the Stardock forums (and the "lost login" reset link from StarControl forum seems to direct me to reset on the Stardock forums).

I've been using Fences 2 for several years and have had no real problems with it.  I just upgraded to Fences 3 and now the transparency is not working properly.

 

I'm running Windows 10 with two screens, and I have different wallpaper on each screen.  I have all my Fences on Display 1, but the transparency image that Fences displays is from Display 2, example:

 



Please let me know if you need any more information.

DeskScapes is a great way to mange your wallpapers, whether they are animated or static wallpapers. If you are not familiar with DeskScapes, it allows you to have animated wallpapers on your Windows desktop, and even lets you apply effects to those wallpapers for even more customization.

One of the questions I get asked the most about DeskScapes is how you can have wallpapers change randomly. It’s a cool feature but it seems not everyone is aware how to enable it, so I wanted to focus o...

Fences and Start10 are two popular apps from Stardock. Fences is an app that lets you organize your desktop icons into customizable fences. Start10 is an alternative Start menu for Windows 10 that brings additional options over the default Start menu. Both of these are also included with an Object Desktop membership.

One of the great things about having both these apps is they work wonderfully together and Start10 has an integrated feature with Fences which allows you to show your f...

Hi,

 

I changed my email address via https://www.stardock.com/accounts/accountinfo

I get the message saying that it was successful and sent an email - This never arrives to my new email address

Does this verification go to my previous email? If so then this is a problem as my email provider company is no longer trading and have no access to it!

Please advise

Paul.

Incredible but true. These are actual complaints received at "Thomas Cook Holidays".

Extinction can't happen soon enough.

 

1. “On my holiday to Goa in India, I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don’t like spicy food.”

2. “They should not allow topless sunbathing on the beach. It was very distracting for my husband who just wanted to relax.”

3. “We went on holiday to Spain and had a problem with the taxi...

WindowFX and Windowblinds user since more than a decade...

But last few years, I was barely able to use/enjoy the product. After reinstalling my windows, I always think of myself this time I make it clean and beautiful, so I install my object desktop (shadowFX, WindowFX Windowblinds, Fences, IconPackager).

But every time, after realizing how much slowing the system down, make other apps completely useless, I have to turn it off (then it stays like this for months, until I have to reinstall...

Now that Microsoft is nearing the final release of the Creators Update (RS2), where do we stand with a Fences update? The crashing bug seems to be gone from earlier builds, but Folder Portals still do not work correctly:

- The folder view always defaults to Medium Icons and they are all squished together. There's no padding/spacing between them.

- Switching to a list or detail view works, but this setting doesn't persist after reboot. It goes back to the broken Medium Icons view.&n...

I've been using WindowBlinds for several years.  I can't help but notice the greatly increased number of new WB downloads that cost money.  There were always a few, but now the ones that cost seem to outnumber the ones available for free.  Nickel and diming customers is a very effective way to lose customers.
