Desktop Icons do not work properly in Dual Monitor Fences

November 7, 2020 11:17 PM from

I have used Fences for years and always have had a very fluid experience. I just set it up on a dual monitor setup and it just mangles my desktop icons stacking in between both monitors on top of each other. If I cut sorting off I can see the icons properly but cannot sort the icons as I would like, per say by Name, size ect... I have attached 2 pictures. 1 with sorting and 1 without. please help. I enjoy this software but this is not helping in my dual monitor setup.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. This is known issue and has been logged internally by Sean, Support Team. For now you can create a new transparent Fence and put those "Desktop Icons" in it and sort it to your liking. And, setup Fences rule to send all new desktop icons/files to that Fence. Note, you can make fence transparent and without label.
