Hi Timmy, In Fences 2.0 and Fences 1.0 Pro, you can right click any fence and set its opacity to "0%". Then, it will be visible only when you mouse over it :) Hope that helps!

BottleTop, I'm sorry that we were unable to deliver the feature that had previously been marked as "coming soon". Indeed we had advertised a feature on the website - a "skinned fences" feature - which was indeed in development. Unfortunately however that feature was scrapped for a few reasons. These reasons included: -Noticeable performance issues vs simple shaded areas. (Concerns with both memory usage + drawing speed. Fences hooks into the desktop's drawing
Hi Michael. Looks like we may need to clarify on the website. Unfortunately folder portals are only available when the desktop compositor is enabled. In "Classic" mode which it appears you're running, it is not, and therefore they aren't supported :(
Jc - Wow, that's wild. I do have SetPoint software and aren't running into that but believe it. Though, I am confused as to how a WM_PAINT message can make a difference. I felt that WM_PAINTs just don't have effect on layered windows. As a matter of fact though, I do eat WM_PAINT's with a ValidateRect (should do the same job i imagine) for my dock item windows (e.g. zooming docks), but not cabinets (tabbed docks). Funny. Will make note to put in that compatibility bit.<
Sorry but this behavior has been removed from ObjectDock. The reason for this is that dragging files on to applications is, in our opinion, too ambiguous of an action ; it is impossible to tell if the user wants to drop the icon onto the dock to add a new icon, or to drag it onto that specific application. To place emphasis on the program being a launcher the choice was made to make it easier to add shortcuts rather than to provide a feature only a smaller population of do
Hi javamanromeo, They should remain in tact and all your settings are designed to transfer, but you might want to make backups just in case. Also if you have custom backgrounds or icons in your ObjectDock v1.0 folder you may want to copy them over to the 2.0 directory as well. If you'd like to backup your settings, head to the run dialog and enter: %localappdata%\Stardock\ObjectDock\ (or %appdata%\Stardock\ObjectDock\ on XP) and make backups of
Hi szemcse. Sorry but at this time there are no plans to add localization support to ObjectDock 2.0 :(
Hi gantonski, Good catch! We've been able to find this problem and resolve it ; it will be repaired in the next release. Thanks!
Hi Jeff, We've been unable to reproduce this. This was a known problem in one of the betas from prehaps a week or two ago ; are you still seeing this problem in the latest revision on Impulse?
nimicitor: Please try right-clicking on any shortcut to access "Run as Administrator", as well as any other file-related shortcuts. Same method as used in explorer to gain access to extended menu items :) mirs: No dell-dock equivalent coming soon sorry :( We're not doing anything to disrupt docklet support however. Excalpius: No luck on getting to the 2nd/3rd monitor issue yet, I have noted it however. Monty: Saving/loading
A note to all - A refresh was put out today, be sure to check it out!

Hi horizon, some responses: • i have noticed several occasions where clicking on something in the dock will no longer allow me proper control of windows afterwords until another action is performed [such as i've been hitting the start menu button on my keyboard]. for example, while checking whether the bugs i've already listed before were still present in this version before writing them down, i've lost the ability to type in this window until pressing the start button. in

the tabbed dock doesn't show in the settings?? oh gez, that is odd. screenshot please? / send your settings file to support (& tell them to pass along to jeff)? Win7?
Fixes made to new dialog, we'll be doing an update on Monday. Perhaps once it's working properly we'll get a little better feedback on it.
Eek. Issues with the new Choose Icon dlg seem to be the #1 problem coming down thus far. Will be having to do some research on what could make browsing fail...
Hi guys. Sorry but the Start Menu glitch is another one that is just not going to be fixed :( This is a glitch in Windows itself that makes that right area of the panel not draw when its location is anywhere but where it expects to be. (Well technically this isn't a glitch in windows, just an odd inflexibility!) Will keep looking for hacks to work around in, but otherwise, sorry :( Keep sending feedback on the other areas though that is helpful. So far I've been reading people have be
Hi Dave. Yes that is what is being referred to. Unfortunately a fix is just not possible :(
I strongly believe that this is fixed for the next update :) No scheduled date for it, but, we are aware of the problem, and assuming its the same one we were experiencing the problem should be gone
oh and the reflections are not configurable in the program itself at the moment... you set them up in the skin file. though i do hope to put in some sliders to allow for adjustment. for the upcoming release i've tweaked all the reflections in each of the applicable skins to be super-sharp looking "in my opinion", but if you don't agree go ahead and make a copy of the skin you want to change and modify it up, i've left comments in the skin definition files! to modify a skin just right
lol oh whatever!! it recolors, plenty of people just want to make a theme their favorite color and thats all :) hue rotating / etc is pretty straightforward, its on the list ;)
Hrmm coloring function not new and improved actually. Though that is something that i'd like to do. (Hue rotating / adjustment option vs straight 'colorize')
next week's startin to look good =) for an announcement anyhow will know monday whats up
completely and totally redone config windows...also a go. ...not at all written yet, but in the planning/designing stages :)
