For me, a great series of books to read is Philip Jose Farmer's Riverworld series. The first book is, "To Your Scattered Bodies Go". I'll give a quick synopsis, which I grabbed from Google; it's about as good of an outline as I would give ... Philip José Farmer's Riverworld series (1971–1983) is a science fiction saga where every human who ever lived—roughly 36 billion people—is resurrected along the banks of a colossa

As I suggested, I believe that Stardock could fix the problem with Micro-Slop's SysTray application. I hate how the icons (even once you put them into a certain place) will shift, if the PrinterQueue comes up -- then everything slides somewhere. Because I want my stuff ordered exactly like I have it, bez I always have my certain Systray apps in certain places. I don't want to have to scroll around to find them. I want them to always stay in the same places. I d

And, be nice if they also developed a Debloating application for WIndows. Plus, I just suggested writing a new SysTray application that replaces Micro-Slop's systray.

Dear Stardock Developers, Please, consider writing a better SysTray application that replaces the ones in Win10. I beg of you. I love having my SysTray icons in certain places -- like TaskManager in the same place, my volume control, my EarTrumpet, my PhoneLink, Teams, etc., etc., etc. I can even send screenshots of how I like it. Then, have my Steam, EpicGames, and others on the bottom. But, no ... it can't work that way in the Micro-Slop world. T

(02-11-2015 Wed @ 7.23 AM) First off, I love Fences. It is something that I use alot and depend on on a daily basis. Okay, I am using Windows 7. Yes, most recent updates: everything. I use computers a lot. Okay, issue is that Fences will stop accepting new icons and the icons will just float onto of the fences that Fences has. I have to log-out then log-back in or reboot to get it working again. And, it is just random. I have noticed that, rig

I haven't tried to reproduce after upgrading from v2.11 to v2.13 but here is how I know it always happens. I teach and do research, so I have to grab alot of Chrome links. So, I have many desktop folder icons like "RESEARCH -- network security", "RESEARCH - security when wireless", etc. So, I think of a new topic, say "Wireshark issues" so I create new folder on desktop without name, default whenever WIndows gives it. Then, I grab a link down from Chrome to

I wish that we could say how many snapshots will be kept. Three days is not enough. It'd be nice to say a schedule of when snapshots are kept and how many are kept. I use this daily, but I don't change it every 3 days. So, some of my beloved snapshots are lost. Looks like I can take them whenever, but be nice if it had better schedule. And, I cannot really examine my snapshots because they are too small. I have

I stand somewhat corrected now. It is not as buggy as I thought. I upgraded from v2.11 to v2.13 and my hibernate issues and not working right after returning from hibernate seem to be fixed. Thanks Stardocks, David Fullerton

(07-23-2014 Wed @ 11.51 PM) I must comment that I took (@ Gargabee) suggestions. I upgraded Fences from v2.11 to v2.13 (didn't know a new one existed), because most applications upgrade for you (or most have AUTO-UPDATE). Anyway, I am on Windows 7 64-bit, and it fixed the problem with Fences of Hibernate

I just want Fences (along with ObjectDock) to work without any issues, because it is one of the tools that I suggest to my students at University of Houston to invest in. And, my issues are very reproducible (especially coming out of Hibernate & Fences quits working right), so other people should have them, unless it is ActualTools doing it or Windows Hibernate feature. Thanks for all the feedback.

Also, I don't understand why it can't stay up-to-date. These are features that were once missing in ActualTools (which is WORLD-CLASS program), and I gave them suggestions then they added it. And, now, updates come along with betas so much faster. Thank you, Gargabee, I'll do what you say and see if that fixes it. I don't understand, it might be ActualsTools with multiple desktops that could be causing conflicts. But nothing else

I always have to log-out or Reboot to fix Fences problems. I wish I knew how to stop it, kill its process, then reload it. I don't see it in the Task Manager. I hope that I am not the only one with these bugs, because I develop software and everything else works on my system. Just Fences is buggy. Thanks, David Fullerton

Never had this problem before with Fences. Just now, as I wanted to try some new configuration with it, Fences locked in in the Control Panel. It won't do anything. I go back to Start >> Control Panel, and I have another copy that works fine of Control Panel. Desktop Fences is working now. Just another bug for me is that now Fences v2 in Windows 7 64-bit is locking Control Panel. I

Would love to use it, and I tried it. But, it locks up on me. Doesn't get past the GENERATE LOG window. Has this tool been debugged? Thanks, David Fullerton

I love Fences but I upgrade often and need to have simple way to move my layout. It'd be nice if Fences operated like ActualTools Window Desktop Manager. It has a SysTray icon that gives many pages of Configuration. Then in Configurate, it has BACKUP, RESTORE, UPGRADE, etc. Also, START / STOP / PAUSE. None of this is in Fences, or if it is, it doesn't work right. I really don't like that Fences resides within Control Panel, and

I don't understand why StarDock can't make a Backup feature in Fences just like ActualTools has in its WORLD-CLASS product called Actual Window Manager. Worth an immediate buy if you have never seen it. I sure hope they make a simple backup & restore feature within Fences because I upgrade computers often. Thanks, David Fullerton

Stardock, I love Fences. Really has helped me do things better. But, here are my problems, and I can easily isolate their behavior. Okay, I hibernate Windows 7, then I come back from Hibernate. Fences won't allow icons to be moved into the Fence container. It does not SLIDE them in. They just drop on the desktop where they are placed on top of the container. Then, another bug after this situat
