Anyone else had to reenter their registration code recently?  Mine keeps prompting me at random times.

Not solved yet?

I've got this problem - but only some of my Fences (not all).  Moving the Fence on the screen does nothing to change the spacing.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. From your screenshot its look like those space out icons are of normal Fences while those other group is portal fences.

Not sure why your normal fences are spacing its icon. Would like to suggest, first, please try purge and reinstall steps as mention here : [Link]. Just make sure to redownload the latest version from your account page. Reboot after the purge. Reinstall and reboot again after the installation. Retest and report back here.

Thank you,

Same issue here.

System Model ZenBook Pro Duo UX581GV_UX581GV
Win 11 Version 10.0.22621 Build 22621
Fences 4.0.7.2
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 - Driver 526.47 (DCH)

The bottom icons moreover hang over the Fences window edge as well.

When rolling up the Fence some icons are left behind as ghost images on the desktop.
When clicking them no program is started but they vanish.

In a Folder Portal Fence some of the icons on the other hand nearly overlap:

The desktop replacement program "Directory Opus" seems to interfere with Fences in such that accessing the Fences settings menu is trouble. When disabling that program the icon scaling issue Fences struggles with isn't solved however.

Regular screen settings:

@60Hz

Reinstalled Fences, played with the resolution and other display settings etc. A "multi hour project" indeed.
Nothing has worked so far. This issue greatly decreases the usefulness of Fences.

Hi

A program, an update or something else may have changed the setting for icon spacing. In Windows 10 (and I suspect the same goes for Windows 11), you could try this if you are comfortable editing registry values:

1. press Windows+R to open Run window, type regedit and hit Enter.

2. Navigate to the following location

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics

3. In the right panel, find out WindowMetrics. This is the horizontal spacing. Double click on IconSpacing to modify the value. Choose any value between -480 to -2730 where -480 represents the minimum spacing and -2780 represents the maximum spacing.

4. Now the vertical spacing is same as step 4. All you need to do is double click on IconVerticalSpacing. Now set any value between -480 to -2730. Tap OK to save changes. The icon spacing is thus changed.

5. Reboot the computer to save the changes.

Good luck...

The default value is most likely -1125, like in the screenshot, since I have never edited this setting.

In my case, JanOscar solution didn't work.

I still have Fences icons more spaced than the Windows ones, as you can see in picture:
