This seems to break multi-monitor spanning wallpapers. When I enable fences it changes the wallpaper so that instead of spanning, it shows multiple copies. I use DisplayFusion to span.

I must say that I love this application. I dreamed of it a while ago, and when I saw it I thought "At last!" 

I had already made a desktop background image a while back that sort of had areas with different outlines so I could put icons of different categories in them. Never really worked very well though:P

EDIT: On second thought, I decided to share it with you (reduced the size though)

I installed it and I love it!

@paffinity - Yeah, aware of the Ultramon/Displayfusion wallpaper issues, will be fixing that in the next update in not long.

@Achronous - cool look! the pro version later this year will have skinning support for sure, and that is a cool concept right there  thanks for sharing.

I am loving this. Thanks a lot!

That is several flavors of awesome, right there!

Thank you. So, I installed it again.

Can reproduce the error everytime.

I fiddle around with fences a bit and I get a system crash on right-click trying to move a file to the trash can. If I move it by hand, it works and does not crash.

Otherwise: Explorer.exe is crashing, then drwtsn32.exe, with that the system is down.

My .NET 2.0 Version is v2.0.50727.

I sent you, Zubaz, the Debug-Info per pm. It's pretty long...

Although I could not enjoy it a lot - two wishes:

1 - Have in a per-fence-option to do some batch operations with the files. Moving the content to a (prespecified) Windows folder e.g. (would really love this one, apart from the simple fact that I would love it if Fences ran on my system...)

2 - Have the option to show thumbnails of pictures.

Why thanks JMB

Most excellent.

Sorry I meant fence options - rename fence, customize fence etc on the menu when you right-click on a fence or the desktop.  If you enable RC they disappear from the menu (even when the cursor is over a fence)

This is strange.....

When I save a file to my dasktop, it seems to not be there, I can't see it anywhere, when I browse to my desktop with explorer or any other app to open the file, it's there and easy to see.

Is this a bug? feature? setting somewhere?

Thanks

Tea anyone?

Fences is placing files saved to the desktop above and/or underneath icons that are already on it, in fences.  It's really distracting, especially when you save a crapload of things to the desktop, because every time you go to move one of them, it "rearranges" all of the icons again in basically the exact same order as before except it moves everything up one.  I think I even see this same phenomenon with auto-arrange off but I can't remember.

In any case, a "default" fence does not appear to exist, and would be a very good idea indeed.

Someone else in another Fences thread said you guys should do this for folders too-if you do you have my money as well.

Thanks for th info....and the great suggestion....now I have to move everything in all my fences....

Fences receives the Ironclad stamp of approval

It also has the P.F.E.T.O.M. thumbs up too.

@Zubaz: Any info on my problem?

@Others: Should I post the logfile here (it is very long)? Or just simply wait for the next version?

BTW: It definitely interferes with something. Installed it on another XP machine and works as it's supposed to.

Is there an option to tell the non fenced desktop to stay visable by default?

If not i suggest you add an option that allows the user to have the normal unfenced desktop space remain visible.
