After installing Fences 3.03 on Windows 10, every time while showing the desktop (by using Win+D or pressing show desktop button), Windows explorer crashes and then restarts. We could observe the desktop is re-drawn and sometime there will be a dialog saying Fences cannot be loaded.

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,...![]()

Icons will not go to assigned places
At one point all of my icons were nicely living in their corrals and a few months back they stopped playing nice. I do not think that it is related to an upgrade with fences but here is what I have done to try to fix it.

Space of icons in list view?
This wasn't the case with older versions of fences or on my windows 7 machine. But on windows 10, the horizontal spacing between icons on list view is so bad. I have tried every single setting and i can't find one to make it better. Anything i can do?![]()

Start10 is not displaying Universal Applications
Hi, I noticed something odd after booting up my PC this morning. I was wanting to open a universal app using the Win7 theme style for Start10 but for some reason when I hover over the option it says the folders empty and if I select all programs, click on the folder it doesn't do anything. I've never had this problem with Start10 before so this is kinda odd. I would appreciate any help. Thanks! https://imgur.com/a/GHQpXQM![]()

Does anyone have a high resolution copy of the default Windows 7 wallpaper?
Hi, I love WindowBlinds10 with the Diamond theme and a Windows 7 start button. Windows 7 is my favorite version of Windows. I cannot download Windows 7 in a virtual machine due to not having a product key. Does anyone have a high resolution version of the default Windows 7 wallpaper?

Copy Windows Color Feature
Hello. Not sure if this is the right place to recommend features. Anyway. Was just doing some thinking while changing themes on Windows 10 and Fences and thought "would it not be great to have a feature that copies the Windows 10 color scheme (Or windows 7 or 8)". I just find it cumbersome to always match my Fences color scheme with the Windows 10 color scheme using the sliders. Having a checkbox to match the Windows OS Color Scheme would be great. That way the Taskbar and Win...![]()

Latest Windows 10 update wiped all previous Fences daily backup snapshots
Last night Windows 10 Pro was updated with the latest version. When I booted my computer, the new Win10 default screen displayed and all of my previous Fences settings, folders, organizations, etc. were gone. After starting Fences (v 3.0.8.1), I was prompted as though this was a brand new start of Fences. I went to Layout & Snapping to restore to a previous layout backup snapshot (I have the auto snapshot feature selected) , but there were no previous backups shown, the only option was th...![]()

Feature suggestion
Suggestion: Search. Really, I have three screens and sometimes Windows will move an icon. I can't do a restore fences because I have added a few programs since the last layout save. Here's how it could work. If I search, for example, for "Photo", then hide all icons *except* for any with "photo" in its name. So, I would see icons for "Photoshop", "Photo Viewer", My Photo", etc. You get the idea...![]()

Status of Object Dock/IP/Window FX
Are there any plans to update these programs? As well as to provide new window blinds skins? I've been an OD customer on and off for a while and what I would really like is more news from the dev team, if there is one. When a company is open and honest with their customers, it not only allows them to set expectations and gather feedback, it creates a "buy in" effect for the customers. They feel like they own part of the product and want it to succeed, which can lead to a very loyal fan base a...![]()

Use My Own Photo or Artwork for Full Screen Start Menu?
Hi, I've tried asking this on the Windows reddit & Microsoft community many times but I never get an answer. I like making my PC look like Windows 7 and 8.1 and Stardock's software does a great job at this. I have a Windows 8 WindowBlinds10 theme and a start button for Start10. Windows 10 has an option for a full screen start menu in the Settings. I like this as it completes the look of 8.1 however the background for it is the same as my desktop. I created artwork with "Start" a...![]()

Unable to resize fences
I use Windows 10 64bit. I upgraded to version 3. After installing the upgrade, I was trying out various Fence options. After a bit, I noticed that I can no longer resize/move fences.
