Fences 2.0 Beta Folder View is Black

from Stardock Forums

Installed 2.0 Beta and it looks pretty great, but there's definitely a bug in there. I didn't see where I could change the background or text color in the folder view.

Hi Michael. Looks like we may need to clarify on the website. Unfortunately folder portals are only available when the desktop compositor is enabled. In "Classic" mode which it appears you're running, it is not, and therefore they aren't supported :(

Ok, so how do I get the desktop compositor?  Is that additional software to buy?  The reason I upgraded to the 2.0 Beta is because I wanted that function.  Now I'm thinking I'm sad.

If you switch to a theme other than Classic in Windows, you should be fine.

Do you plan to support background color for "Classic" view in W7? The reason I upgraded to the 2.0 Beta is because I wanted folder portal.
