[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="42" id="3912224"] Quoting PhoenixRising1, reply 41 Are you sure about that? Fences 5 is by no means new feature heavy like start 11v2 was. Two different programs. The OP cites Chameleon as the new feature and the one click. Those are major changes. Chameleon is a maj

"New with Fences 5 is Chameleon™". If Chameleon™ is as wonderful as it's claimed to be, it should have been released as a separate product. Fences organize and cleans up desktop clutter; it does it well. As described, Chameleon makes the desktop less visually distracting. If everything I don't want to see is rolled up or completely hidden, why

There is another place where SD developers and SD management "listen", https://discord.com/invite/stardock . We need to use it as well to express our concerns (in the Fences channel) as V4 users.

Neil, There appears to be the feeling here that that's not the way SD wants this "Upgrade" to go; rest assured I will stick with V4 until I can't. I won't be alone. Any "bug fixes" V5 offers should be rolled back to V4, as they are the bugs we paid to have fixed.

As I stated above, I am a V4 Licensed owner. I DO NOT WANT the V5 new features; I like V4 just as it is. I do not want to be forced to make an upgrade to V5. Sell V5 as a separate product (Fences PRO?) and leave us V4 users to decide if we need it. <span style="color: #2d2d2d; font-size: 1

I had Fences. I had Fences V.2. I had Fences V.3. I have Fences v.4. I have never SUBSCRIBED for anything from Stardock; never will. And, even with your "discount", I would never pay what you're asking to BUY Fences V.5. No way is it that much better than V.4. Love Fences, but I don't think I need it that badly! I don't think I'm the only one unhappy about what you've done.

I've been running Start11 in Win 10 mode and have been very happy with it; do you think these new tweaks will be enough to allow me to sanely use the Win 11 mode? Second question: do any of these tweaks improve the Win 10 mode as well?

Win 10 Style: Start Menu > Quick Access Shortcuts List: Can we get the three-line hamburger stack put on the top of the list - so it can be widened to show the Titles of the Icons (as real Win 10 does)?

Do appreciate your answering this. Just swung back and caught that you sell Start 11 to "Customize... in Win 10/11". Since I never used it when I had Win 10, I wasn't looking for that as a feature - explains my confusion. Thanks again!

Thanks. The Updater "sees" both the Start10.exe and the Start11.exe, so it's making no assumption (other than both being in its DB). Of course, I do NOT use the Update checkers I use to actually do the updates and I always go to a program's publisher for the update to manually install if I need to. Since Stardock's automatic updates work, these utilities merely "alert" me to their current status. As I said, I can set my Updater to "Ignore" Start 10's existence. By compatibility, are you

I bought Start 11, but it seems it came with Start 10 inside it... my Updating software (SUMo) sees this and wants me to update Start 10, which I can Ignore - but somehow it feels wrong that it's even there.

Also, note the other Fences options that DO have icons in one "View" but not the other "View" (and I know that MS is to blame for the fact that there are redundant context menu options, but I'm hoping you have some control of this...)

And will we be REQUIRED, with CONSTANT NAGS, to upgrade from 3 to 4 for whatever these "benefits" are? 3 works ok with Win 11, btw, so what's my motivation?
