So I'm running the release version of deskscapes 3 and the rc version of fences. The problem is that whenever I choose desktop collage as the active dream, the label on my fences disappear, and the quick hide feature (double-click) of fences won't work. I've never experienced this in the previous version of deskscapes 3.
I had this problem on a brand spanking new custom built windows7 home premium machine with 8 gigs DDR3, 3.2 Ghz intel I5 (bought it 4 days ago, and uploaded all my SD stuff first.) while using the regular fences. My last PC didn't have the umph to run deskscapes smoothly so it was the first thing I wanted to do with this new machine.
Simply reapplying the dream, or picking a new one got things back in working order for me.
It's only happened a few times after changing dreams many many times in the last four days. It doesn't seem to be connected to any one dream as it doesn't always occur with the same dream each time. it has happened with low to high CPU usage dreams, and only happens when changing dreams.
I think it has something to do with the total CPU load at the time of changing the dream that causes fences to lock up. For the few times this occurred, I was multitasking to the max. it's never happened while running dreams all by itself or with just a few lighter programs running. Only when I have a lot going on. Why this would affect fences and not deskscapes 3 is a mystery. It seems as though the issue is with fences and gadgets running on "top" of the deskscape environment more so than than any of the single apps themselves, and keeping all this straight is just too much at that heavy load moment. Maybe that's why fences takes the hit as it's the lighter program and is deemed low priority????
I have the same problem: using the latest version of Deskscapes makes the latest version of Fences mess up and all my icons appear on my desktop. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit. I've got the latest I7 processor and 12 gig of RAM, so nothing taxes my computer.
Ditto. Deja vu...all over again....
i have to revive this thread, because i have a new problem with the deskscapes and fences combo.
double-clicking desktop to hide the fences cause flickers to occur and the fences will be gone after a few seconds. another problem that i encounter is whenever i click something inside the fence, a text file for example, it will take a few seconds then the file will open. this happens whenever deskscapes is also running and whatever dream is loaded.
if i disable deskscapes, no issues occur.
I'm thinking there could be a video driver issue, then. What are your hardware specs?
i'm using a geforce 560ti video card, and the driver is 301.42 WHQL.
it seems that there are a lot of threads related to the deskscapes problem
