How do I turn off fences auto-update?

It would be nice if there was a checkbox added to enable/disable checking for updates at Windows Startup.

Maybe stardock can tell us which URL it checks for updates at so I can block it on my router?

Thanks!

Clicking lag on desktop after updating to Windows 10 Creators Update

Good day Everyone!
I just recently updated to Windows 10 Creators Update. After the update, I'm experiencing a sort of delay whenever I clicked on anything on my desktop. Clicking the icons, right clicking. Everything has a delay on it.

So I tried disabling Fences and voila! Instant response. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Fences, but performance is still the same.

 

Using Fences 3.0.4.12

Any help or suggestions would be truly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello,

I've been using ObjectDock V1.9 and 2.2 for ages on Win7 64 bit and bout 6 months ago I had an issue with Objectdock showing some icons but not others.  I never got a solution from Stardock and let it go until recently when I had time on my hands.

Today I found the solution on line at
https://forums.elementalgame.com/370204  from which I quote:

"Solution is to remove registry key "Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shellex\iconhandler" "

Cheers

I don't know if this is possible, or if it has already been discussed, but it would be great to be able to change the icon size on a per-fence basis. i.e. One fence with medium icons, another with large. I have the feeling Windows won't allow that to happen, but do you think it may be possible?

New WB user here...I got the software because WIN 10 does not allow more detailed customization of colors. For the most part, I really like the way WB works but I have encountered the following problem and I'm not sure if it's a limitation or if there is a setting or workaround that I'm not aware of:

I'm using an old version of MS Office (2003). When I run e.g. Word, the skin is applied the way it should. However, if I run it by clicking on an associated document, the skin is not applied at a...

It seems there have been some posts on this before, but they didn't help me. So I figured I'd just create another one. I cannot seem to run Dream Maker on my Windows 10 PC. I just installed the app and it won't launch.

All I see, regardless of which compatibility mode I try to run it with, is this:



I've tried running it as admin too, just in case, but nothing works. This is the only app I seem to be able to find, and it's clearly very outdated. Is there anything I can do?

I just downloaded Object desktop Management and installed some of the applications including Fences (terrific) and Windowblinds.

I am running Windows 10 with 2 monitors and tried to turn on Random Wallpaper with Windowblinds.  I have 15 wallpapers entered into the lower box.

Windowblinds installs the same wallpaper on both screens (not a problem) but they never change. 

I have the settings at every hour and random (not in sequence).

Any ideas on how to get this working?

Is there some way to add "debounce" functionality to Fences event processing?  The reason I ask is that I use push-to-talk in chat programs and when the desktop is active during a key-down event Fences will chew on hundreds of these events and process each and every event that occurred while that key was pressed highlighting icons.  I have to wait until Fences is done processing every event to interact with my desktop, sometimes taking minutes to complete.

I don't know how common this is with dogs but my dog, an Entlebucher mountaint dog, has a fairly complex moral system when it comes to food.  Namely, she seems to have an internal rule set on what it is okay for her to take food.

Here's an example of my dog's morality in action.  If my wife brings me a plate of cheese and crackers, she can set it right in front of me and the dog.  I could get up, leave the room and come back without fear that she would take it.  However,...

I have fences 3.0 and three monitors. When one of them is disabled, even for a second, then all fences move to main monitor. When monitor recover then fences are not moving back, and on my desktop is a big garbage. Can you fix that?

Using Multiplicity 3.44 with two laptops

 Both are win 10

I set the cursor size in win settings to the large/inverted scheme on both machines.  After reboot, both machines reset to default normal/white cursor.

Is this normal?  If not, what to do to maintain cursor size?

Thanks.

I am using Fences version 3.05.12  (latest at this moment) on two PCs running Windows 10 Pro X64, Vesion 1703, Build 15063.647 (latest on this moment)

I noticed different behavior how Fences ar interacting with desktop.

On one PC when I move the fences around the desktop, all the icons (not in any of the fences) are moving away from the moving fence. When I try to put an icon below the rolled-up fence in an area which will be taken by the fence when rolled-down I can do it without tro...

I was favorably impressed with Star Trek: Discovery tonight.  It wasn't great, but it's a good start, and given the chance I'll watch more.  A couple of negatives:

 

Guest starring Michele Yeoh?  What, you people don't have the budget or sense to hire her as a regular?

 

The GODAWFUL volume of commercials.  It's like they were trying to recoup the entire investment in the first episode.  To me, it made the show nearly unwatchable.  How much act...
