Huge lag on desktop

from Stardock Forums

Hello,

I'm using fences since a month and I like it very much but there's a problem that is very annyoing.

The desktop is lagging, when I move the cursor too fast on icons the animation doesn't move, same when I select something too fast, it lags.

 

Also is it possible to disable the fences animation when I move an icon?

 

Thank you.

I'll try that but also is there a way to disable fences on my secondary monitor?

I don't think there is an option to do so.

Hello,

From the video you provided. At that speed even the un-fences icons will take some time to capture that movement. But anyway, I have forwarded your problem to Stardock Support team for their assistance. Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates. We appreciate your feedback and patience.

When I hadn't yet installed fences the desktop was fast as always, since when I have fences installed I'm experiencing that issue.

Here a video I made comparing it between Fences on and off. I can not see huge difference.

Do you know why with fences enabled when I save a file on the desktop it goes automatically on the second monitor?

How can I fix this?

Create a Fence and put it on the main monitor. Make a rule to that new fence so that all new files on the desktop goes to that Fence. Now all your new files should be inside that Fence on your main monitor.
