Changing Number of Monitors

from Stardock Forums

I am using fences on a Windows 10 Laptop. Sometimes I work at home with 0 or 1 external monitor, sometimes in the office with two.
What should I do so that the layout of the fences is "nice" in all situations, i.o.w. uses the two monitors if they exist, but is usable without them?
For example, can I setup desktop pages that I can switch between in an inbuilt-monitor-only situation and that are simultaneously displayed on different monitors if they exist?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Have you tried save layout snapshots for each situation and load it when you on that situation?

Thanks

I'm also experiencing the same effect when I Remote Desktop into a PC running Fences (which effectively behaves as one monitor) and then log back into the PC directly. The positions of all my fences are screwed up.

It would really be nice if Fences could auto-remember layouts for each monitor setup. I mean... Windows is able to remember monitor positioning and layout when you plug or unplug physical monitors. Similarly my Wallpaper Rotator program also detects change in monitor count and redraws the screen when that happens.  So I would think it should be possible.

Thanks!
