Fences shrink in size after using Remote Desktop

from Stardock Forums

Hello,

Been a user for years, thank you Stardock!

I'm having an issue with my fences!

Problem:  
When i access my laptop that contains fences from RDP Remote Desktop, something happens to my fences sizes.  When i return to using my monitors on the same computer I RDP'd into, the fences are smaller and smaller each subsequent time.  

Attempted solutions:
I have tried to pin the fences.   I have also tried making the fences small enough to where they would fit in the RDP's smaller resolution size.

Expected behavior:
The fences should stay exactly where I had left them (perhaps with "pinning") whether or not I'm in RDP, or have just recently used RDP.  They should not continue to change size smaller and smaller and need to be relocated on the desktop.

 

Thank you!

this is not a good workaround.  it should be automated.  right now it would be easier to simply uninstall.

can we get a fix for this issue?

hello friends,

i found a great workaround!   you much check the settings to remember the locations between changes of resolutions.   then (but only once per RDP/resolution change) you must resize the icons as desired. 

i noticed that it kept the correct sizes at that point. 

thank you very much and mark this issue resolved with this acceptable workaround.

Much love to stardock!
