Hello,

It seems I'm still using the old GUI in Fences. What do I need to change to get the other one that Start11 and Groupy have? The text looks small and pixelated compared to the other Stardock programs.

Thank you!

Fences 6.2.0

Fences 6.2 is the latest version available for everyone today. Perhaps the differences you see is just how the way Fences was design. The left column use smaller font since Fences has more option listed there. Perhaps in the future, Fences could look into improving the font size.

I have forwarded your observation to Stardock Support Team for their assistance. Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates. We appreciate your feedback and patience. Thank you.

Hello,

I'm still having a problem with fences.

When I create a group on the desktop, I get the "modern context menu" as expected.

However, when I create a folder, the old context menu appears.

Have I configured something incorrectly?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

By the way: The system doesnt allow me to add pictures. It stays in a loop, and nothing happened.

This is normal behavior with Fences.

The image upload is a known issue and has been acting up lately. You just need to wait a while and try again.

I'm seeing a similar issue to the one reported by mr_vico.

Upgraded from 6.02 to 6.20. Some Desktop Context menus no longer work (an empty sub-menu appears when they are selected).

Under 6.20:

This is the way the menu that appears under 6.02 with Fences enabled and Under 6.20 with the Fences context disabled (Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\background\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\FencesShellExt)

It also happens with Power Options and Switch Power Plans menus.

Let me know what other information I can provide to troubleshoot this.

F.Y.I. Something I noticed with Fences 6.2.2.1 and Windows 26200.7623

I have "Require clicking titlebar to expand group" checked, and "Switch tabs on Mouseover" in the settings. I have a group of tabs with a combination of Folder Portals and Desktop Fences. One of the Folder Portals is set to View as List, and it does not fit in the Fence window.

When I hover over the Folder Portal tab which is set to View as List, the Fence does not expand as expected based on my settings, but the Scroll bar does display at the bottom of where the Fence would be.

Not a big deal, just wanted to let you guys know.

Hi Pelaird,

Thanks for posting.

I wouldn't expect the group to expand unless the headerbar is clicked, as long as "Require clicking headerbar to expand group" is selected. However, I have reproduced the scrollbar appearing with the mouseover and logged for review.
