Way to Move Desktop Fence Between Monitors?

from Stardock Forums

Basically as the title says. I have a multi-monitor setup and there are times it would be useful to be able to pull my "main" desktop page with all my icons over to the other monitor. In instances like if I have an app/game fullscreen on my primary monitor and want to access the fences behind it, or one of the monitors is off but Windows is still actively attempting to display to it (which is possible due to my configuration). I am able to drag the desktop page with all my fences over to other monitors, but it will always bounce back. I don't seem to be able to find a setting to allow it to move freely. The fact I'm able to see it seems like it indicates it should be possible though. Does such an option exist? If not, is it a possibility to implement?

Any insight is greatly appreciated!

Hello,

Please try Fences Desktop Pages. Here something I think you can do. You will have all your icons shortcut copy and paste on the same desktop (Duplicate those icons). Create New fences. Move the duplicated icons into those new fences. Move these Fences to the new Desktop, it will create another desktop ("how to" Instruction is on Fences Configuration Windows + Desktop Pages). On the new desktop you can place you fences to any monitor you like

Thanks for the quick response! 

I had considered copying my entire desktop, but was hoping that would not be necessary since it seems like something that could be solved by having the original desktop be draggable to other monitors. I was also kind of hoping that, at worst, there would be a way to copy fences or a desktop page so as to not have to recreate it all by hand. 

Ah well, I guess I'll just put icons on the second desktop.

Thanks for trying though.
