Hi all,
How does one configure deskscapes so that Fences 3 remains visible on top?
Right now -- and the screenshot doesn't do a good job -- Fences 3 is blurred and dark and seems to be behind the deskscapes wallpaper -- pls help.

Hey AzDude,
Cheers for the reply! I followed your instructions above; however, the result did not change for me 
As you can see in the photo below, Fences and icons are still in the background, or are severely greyed out that I have to turn off deskscape.
I value more Fences than Deskscape; but it's a shame because I bought the Object Desktop to be able to utilize all the programs.

Hello ,
Next step is try both programs in a Clean Boot situation .
To see if there are 3rd party issues causing your problem.
Would you Please do a Clean Boot:https://forums.stardock.com/486084/fences-support-faq#cleanboot
test and report back , please.

Is it possible you have somehow enabled the settings in Deskscapes to fade desktop icons?
Only thing in settings is this - see image - try uncheck that and test .
DeskScape App - Settings
Hello,
Please check in Fences 3 Setting -> Color & Appearance -> Background Style and Color -> All Fences -> Slide the "Transparency" all the way to the right. If there are still Fences that have gray out icons and background. Go to each Fences Click on that 3 line menu button -> View-> Opacity -> Select 100%(Fully visible). Try that and report back.
Thank you,

Hi, thanks again for the reply.
As I already mentioned above, the setting for opacity is 100% (visible).
In Deskscape, the background blurring setting for Fences option does not make it better.
I have already done the clean boot before; it seems it is a defective product.
Hello,
In the DS app click on the Advanced Tab then Slider Bars ?
Try moving it a little and if needed a little more and see
if that helps your issue .
Report back , please .

Hi, as mentioned above, I have already set the transparencies for both Deskscape and Fences to 100% visibility -- the result was the screenshot I posted yesterday.
If you uninstall DS, reboot, do you still have issues?

Already did it 3 times, Sean, for both deskscape and fences 3.0 -- do you offer remote support?
I can show you that I have taken all the steps
Then it's not DS that is causing your issues nor would we expect it to.
We do not.
You have had Fences 3 for some time so no doubt this has not always been like this - that something has changed and its now in this state, yes?
After you do the purge, reboot, and if you are comfortable with looking in your registry:
Is there a Fences entry still here:
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Stardock
If so, delete it, reinstall Fences, and see if you still have the issue.
