Icons not in fence slip under fence

from Stardock Forums

Hi,

I have had an ongoing problem for years. Sometimes it goes away for a while if I do an update to fences but it always comes back.

The behavior I expect is that icons in the "general" desktop population will not be able to exist under a fence. If I move the fence I expect the non-fence icons to move around to get out of the way. However, what happens (particularly after a crash of a game in an off-resolution or when the primary monitor becomes one with a lower resolution) is that my fences lose their ability to "push" icons out of their boundaries that are not in the fence. it can be very annoying.

Is there a way to restore the desired behavior?

I am currently:

Windows 7 X64 with Fences 2.13.

Thanks,


Chris

It sounds like that crash and reduced resolution is causing an issue. You may want to check the settings under the Layout and Snapping tab in the Fences configuration. Maybe check off the scaling option or to preserve Fences based on per-screen resolution.
