Unfortunately there is not an option to compact the pace between listings, but there is a way to force a scrolling list instead of multiple menus. It is an approved and published Registry string. Stop Start11 making menus multi column and instead use a scrolling list Add a New String Value key and name it S11_AlwaysScrollMenus and set the Value data to 1 <
Really liking this app. I haven't quite figured it all out yet, but it seem solid. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
IconPackager has not been discontinued as far as I know. Try downloading the app directly from his Account Downloads page. https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products
This looks great! [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Windows 11 is adding .webp to the list of formats Windows can use for Desktop backgrounds. It would be great if this format could also be added to DeskScapes.

[quote who="Abisnabidam" reply="32" id="3987383"] Thanks for checking that. When I try it your way with the Current User path, it successfully disables the context menu- But, for whatever reasons is now causing some other instability and crashes. Please let us know if you get anything like that. And does it work for you the other way, under the Local Machine path? [/quote] I did notice that. It was screwing with DeskScapes, and caused Fences to crash.

How did you pin the Calculator to the Taskbar? The best way to pin an app to the Taskbar is to open the app, and then right-click the Taskbar icon and select "Pin to taskbar."
Those are Windows watermarks showing the Windows version. These are usually used on Insider preview versions, but this is Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC.
Open the config app and click Configure Menu; open Advanced options and turn off "Show app list in start menu."
The latest Windows 10 version, as of 01/13, 2026, is 19045.6809

Assuming you are using the Windows 7 style, open the config app and go to Start Menu tab and click Configure menu > Quick access side shortcuts. Click the down arrow on the right side of "Quick access shortcuts," at the top, and select "How should icons be shown > Only show icons.
[quote who="gabriel messika" reply="4" id="3986844"] yes, it is a OneDrive folder. Dates are in French format (DD/MM/YYYY), they are not in the future. So I understand there is no way to get a strict sorting by date (files or folders) for OneDrive folders ? [/quote] Now I get the dates. Thanks for clarifying the format. Take a look at this folder on you C: Drive. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\Fences" and play around with the viewing and sorting opt
[quote who="basj" reply="2" id="3986793"] This is what I get on my Fences portal vs Explorer on the same folder with the same date modifies sort. Its the same order as the explorer list with folder at the bottom. [/quote] It's a OneDrive thing Basj.
I use the Windows 10 style Start11 menu and what I have done is to add a page and create a group named NEW PINS. Whenever I pin a new app, file, folder, etc., I pin it to this group, and then resize, rename, change icon, etc. Now I can drag it to the group and the position where I want it. To drag this new pin to a different page, just drag it to the page identifier (dots) at the bottom of the menu. I know this is a workaround, but it makes adding item easier for me.
File Explorer does not sort this way without OneDrive. If a folder is not on OneDrive, folders will always be at the bottom or top, depending on whether Ascending or Descending is selected. Evidently when Fences creates the shortcuts for the Folder Portal, they are not located on OneDrive anymore. This is why you see folders either at the top or bottom of the Fence. Also why do your files show modified dates that have not occurred yet?

[quote who="SystemName" reply="28" id="3986704"] Have I configured something incorrectly? Thanks in advance. By the way: The system doesnt allow me to add pictures. It stays in a loop, and nothing happened. [/quote] This is normal behavior with Fences. The image upload is a known issue and has been acting up lately. You just need to wait a while and try again.
Do you have a Rule set where all new icons go to a specific Fence?
You can do what you want with a Stardock approved Registry tweak. Add a new registry string value and name it S11_AlwaysScrollMenus which when set value to 1 will stop Start11 making menus multi column and instead use a scrolling list. Create this new string value in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Start8\Start8.ini\Start8 You will have to Sign Out and Sign back in for this to take effect, or you can ju
