I don't know this from personal experience, but Martin Brinkmann tends to know what he's talking about, and he did the update... You should read the article linked and, if possible, defer this update. He describes a method for W10 Home, as well, using the metered charge option.

Bugs: Fences renaming documents in fences, not moving icons properly
My system is running Windows 10 Enterprise, 1703, and I'm encountering two bugs in the latest version of Fences. One is that Fences is arbitrarily renaming the titles of some select documents that I have organized in fences, and which I access frequently. The title change is only for the icon description, as when I open the document, the title within Microsoft Word is the proper title. The renamed title is as the name of another icon on my desktop, like it just copied the ...![]()

Behavior of icons not in fences
I have all my icons in fences...except for the Recycle Bin. It sits at the default upper-left corner of my monitor. I want it in the lower-right corner. When I drag it there, it returns to the upper-left. Is there a way [other than putting it in a fence] to make it stay where I put it?![]()

Darken Background Windows breaks Windows 10 Task View
If I enable the darken background windows feature of WindowFX 6, then go to the 'task view' (Win-Tab) I get trapped in that view and can't get out short of logging off or rebooting. I like the 'darken background windows' feature especially since I have multiple monitors but I also like the multiple desktops feature of Windows (think Apple Mission Control or Linux) since I tend to keep a lot of windows open and they tend to relate to various tasks. I realize this is a new Window...![]()

Vertical Column instead of horizontal row
icons are forced into a horizontal row. I would like them to be vertical. I can only do it if I make a narrow fence that only allows one column. Actually, I would like to be able place multiple columns in the yard of the fence that are not the same height. ie currently for rows you must fill top row before you can start a 2nd row. Would like to be able to start 2nd row without 1st reaching right side fence. (but in columns)![]()

Can't get WindowBlinds to work on XP
Hi, I'm setting up some old computers for retro gaming, some are just DOS or DOS/Win 3.11 combo, some will run Windows 98SE (and I'd like to get WB 3.5 to work in there) and one of them is running XP with SP3. As far as I know, WB 7.1 is the latest version compatible with XP, but when I install it, I get the following error: "This version of Stardock WindowBlinds has expired. Please download the latest version from www.stardock.com" Whenever I click OK, or the X to close the dialog box,...![]()

WinCustomize Master Skinner Spotlight: LightStar
Each week on WinCustomize we feature a skin made by one of the creators from our community. We've decided to take that idea a bit further and spotlight the creators themselves! I wanted to start this off with one of our top skinners and long-time member, Tom, also known here as LightStar! He was kind enough to take the time to answer some questions so we could get to know him a little bit more. Can you tell us a bit about yourself and how you got involved in “skinning&rd...![]()

Fences Feature Highlight: Using Pages for a Cleaner Desktop
We've previously talked about Folder Portals, a really cool feature that makes finding what you need quick and easy. This week, I thought we’d take a look at another new feature: Pages. This is great for people who have a lot of icons on their desktop, or like to keep them super-organized with multiple Fences. With the Pages feature, you can create a virtual desktop of sorts with your icons and Fences that can be switched by pulling on the edge of your screen. ...![]()

ObjectDock: Sometimes the dock does not appear
Hi. I have a problem with the objectdock. I have configured my dock to hide automatically and click when I put the cursor down on the taskbar, but there are times when it does not appear so that you put the cursor down the taskbar and do not know how to solve it. Years ago when I did not have internet a friend I passed an old test version of the objectdock and it worked great, not a single error, it was practical and its functions are wonderful, so I bought it. This tool has become indispe...![]()

Theme Manager and other OD suggestions
I have been a fan of Object Desktop for a long time; even though Windows 7 was enough for me without it. I recently purchased Object Desktop for my 2 in 1 Windows 10 installation of Object Desktop and came across the Theme manager. It is nice to see that this exists as it seems to integrate the different possibilities with Object Desktop reasonably well when it works. However, a few issues and suggestions for both Theme Manager and Object Desktop. Most importantly: I am buil...![]()

Fences has unstable layout
Hi, I have currently two problems with Fences: 1) If I download files to the desktop, the files are "hanging" at the upper left corner, under/over my "This PC" Icon. Or a downloaded file moves some Icons away. However, to access the files I have to move my "This PC" Icon and / or to reorganize the Desktop after every download. This is very frustrating. 2) I am using a 2 Monitor + Laptop setup at two locations. In one case the laptop is on the right side, and in the other case it's on th...![]()

HDMI audio extractor showing second desktop after Win10 update - can it be "ignored"?
First, hi all, just joined recently and got the full Object Desktop, and I have a lovely clean desktop as a result Truly one of the few "how did I manage without this?" set of products. I use an HDMI HD audio extractor on the HDMI output of my GTX-1060. My main display uses the Displayport connection. All was well until an update (exact time unknown as nothing seemed different until recently) seemed to force Windows to see the HDMI extractor as a full second screen (previously it was just id...![]()
