Icon Text getting cut off

from Stardock Forums

I have been using fences for some time. I started with my XP machine and now have it on my Windows 7 PC and it works great, except for one thing, I have to edit many of my icons descriptions and such because they get cut off by the fence border. I keep the fences set to invisible, I do not want to see them. The grouping work just fine. I have dual monitors, a 25" and 23" the icons and fences are on the 25" monitor. I have tried deleting and creating new fences, but it still cuts off some of the icons.

Has anyone else run into this problem, and is ther a fix other than editing all my icons?

Please see attached screen shots. In the first the "A" in Adobe gets partially cut off, In the second, the "D" in Dawn of war gets cut off.

jvezirian,

I ran into the same problem. It looks like win 7 does something weird with the labels.

Try resizing your screen icons (hold down CTRL and scroll your mouse wheel up or down). Not really a "fix" but it seems to be an odd resizing of desktop text size by Windows. If your icons are made too small, it is as though Windows pushes the text outside of some defined boundary.

Hello.

Can you take another screenshot with the transparency turned down so we can see the fence?

Also, can you disable Fences (Configure Fences | Tools | Uncheck) and take another screenshot?

Thanks

Ok the first shot is with the transparency reduced to see the fences on a light background, the second is a full screenshot with fences disabled.
