Can icon spacing inside a fence be controlled independent of the icon spacing that Windows applies to icons that are not inside a fence

from Stardock Forums

After having upgraded to Fences 3.0.1, I am having problems with the horizontal and vertical space around icons that reside inside a fence. I'm using Windows 10 Pro.

I understand how to change icon spacing in the Windows registry, and after having tweaked that to create the desired horizontal and vertical spacing around icons on my desktop that are not inside a fence, I am dismayed to see that icons inside a fence do not respect those settings. For example, two icons that are side by side inside a fence are much closer together than they are when they are on the desktop, outside of a fence. This is a problem when the icons have long titles.

So my question is whether or not there is a way to tweak a fence's icon grid to change the spacing of the icons without changing Windows' own settings for icon spacing.

I will pass your question along to the dev team; it's a good one.

Did anything come of this? I have this problem too, and I see the post is eight months old.

I have exactly the same problem. Windows 10 Pro.

Same problem here. In addition, changes that I make to the icon font type and size do not appear to have any effect.

Check the update, icons are quite tight now :) Problem is solved (or so it seems, I have no official confirmation yet).

The icons are "too close" together now...  How do we adjust? (read, I want to control spacing on a per fence, or global fence basis)
