Just like the title says.. I could select the colors but they would not apply until I added another tab. Not sure if the 1 tab needs to be on the top or bottom, but I think so.. Then you cannot color them..
Yes, I did that. It didn't help. But I was not sure Fences was not running because the window was still open. I cannot even find Fences in the Task Manager. Using Grok, I have tried about 50 different things. One that worked temporarily was adding: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM, EnableAeroPeek, 1 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM, AlwaysHibernateThumbnails, 0 <---This was the only one I h
My Taskbar Thumbnail popups stopped working around the time I upgraded to Fences 6. I'm using Grok to try and help me solve this issue. But nothing works. And so I started wondering if Fences 6 could have something to do with it. It started several days ago, around the time I upgraded to Fences 6. What I have noticed, in Start11 and Windows 11 Stock Taskbar, after an explorer.exe restart, if I hover the mouse over an open app's icon in the Task
Thanks. I'll post a pic of the transparent fences and the 'All Groups' personalization transparency slider of full solid. I can slide it all the way back and forth and it has no effect on transparency. I did just notice that the All Groups transparency slider does work on the fences I created on my 2nd 'Page'. Except ones from the 1st page that were set to Show on all pages. Those don't change.. <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/7/73/
Thanks for the great explanations basj! I have turned on Hide, and set all fences to 100% opacity. The only way I could get the Alt key to stop fully showing all fences was to set every individual fence to 100% Opacity. Which I don't want... I liked them individually appearing from 20% opacity to full when I mouse over. And then, in Personalization, the Transparency slider does not work with 'All Groups', so I still cannot adjust their transparency. Howe
About 20 minutes after the above post things seemed to start working. No reboot or anything.. 1) Very strange, but the Alt+Left/Right started to work switching desktops suddenly. 2) Before, all of my fences/portals showed on All desktops too. And now they don't. And I did find the 'Show on All Pages' option in the Fence's View menu. 3) Still would like to understand if the Windows Desktops & Fences <span style="text-deco
I'm running Windows 11 24H2, Start 11 2, and Fences 6. I had a problem with Fences 4.22 where if I just press any Alt key by itself, it would Show ALL of my Fences and Portals until I let the key go. I was trying to press Alt + Right Arrow to switch to the next desktop, but it would not work, I believe because of this ... I see no key assignment for the Alt k
Thanks for all of your replies Basj! I'll put in a ticket and see what they say. This could be considered a bug since they have that 'Stretch' option. Stretch if it's checked, and don't stretch if it's not checked? It seems to imply that..
This is how far I have to widen the Start Menu to make that image fit. I'll just have to figure out the ratio between the image width, and the Start Menu width, and squish this image down. This is stupid....
I understand what you mean. So, I resized the image to just a bit larger than the Start Menu background, and it still is stretching it. It would be nice if the developer could give some instructions on how to make a background. What are the rules to follow? I am trying to make my background 'just fit' into the start menu, with the right-side panel gray, and with none of the image. I believe I have done it correctly. But it still stretches it. <
Yes. Here are comparisons of that checked and unchecked. It stretches it no matter what. I don't want it to stretch at all.. The original size at 100% is on the left... I don't know if it makes any difference, but I have my Start11 Menu at the top of my screen, and it has always worked fine there. <img src="https://cdn.stardo
PS: the first two background images I had edited to make the canvas larger, and the actual image on the left top, trying to figure out how this works. It seems the menu puts the images a little higher than the actual menu is drawn.
I am running Start11 v2.55 on Win11 64. It has had this problem since I bought it on Steam last January. The background image always resizes when I resize the menu. See attached .gif. There is nothing checked in the Background Settings. Do I have some setting set wrong? I have tried adjusting the image sizes, and played around trying to fix this. I'll also attach some background images that I have used. <img src="https://cdn.st
Thanks, I finally tracked down the cause. It was a program called Alomware Toolbox that I use. I don't see any settings in the app that would control this issue. But if I close it, my preview windows popup find at my taskbar on the top of the monitor. I've contacted the dev of that app, and he is usually quick with replies.. Fingers crossed...
I've spent hours trying to figure out why a few days ago the window Preview thumbnails stopped appearing when I hover my mouse over active apps on the Taskbar. It worked fine for the last 6 months... I have been using Grok to help me figure this out to no Joy. I tried to validate all the files from Steam, but Start11 is installed in the Program Files (86) folder. So how can I validate/repair the install? I wasn't sure if I could just do
Great! Thanks... I turned that on and it's working fine now. I don't know how it got turned off... [e digicons]
I'm on Fences 4.22, and recently reinstalled win11. When I delete files in a desktop fence or folder portal, it does not ask to confirm the file deletion. Is there any way to turn that on??
I just installed Windows 11 Pro, and installed my Fences 4.22. When I double-click on a Foxit .pdf file, Foxit opens it within the Fence container. I want it to open in the Foxit app. The only option I have for ' All new icons go to ' is ' the general desktop '. My list of fences does not appear for selection. I am running: <span style="color: #808080;"

Thanks for the reply. I was mainly asking about the Windows virtual desktops. Thanks for the answer. 'Pages' sounds just like virtual desktops, where you could(on win 10) drag to the next desktop from the screen edge. So, by doing that now, pages will switch to the new fences page? And the desktop switching and fences switching are handled separately? How much of system resources does Fences 5 use?? Is it using the CPU a lot?
I just moved to windows 11. And I was wondering if Fences 5.+ supports having different fences on different windows 11 desktops. I used Fences 4 on Windows 10 and it did not support this. [e digicons];P[/e]
Thanks for the reply. I actually started doing that after I posted.. Unfortunate that it has to be that way on new installs.
