Icon spacing issue

from Stardock Forums

So I log on yesterday and notice that my fences which used to be lined up across the top of my desktop with a small space in between are all of a sudden overlapping one another. After some basic testing it seems the icon spacing inside my fences has somehow changed and has made my fences significantly wider. Assuming something changed it in Windows and fences was simply mirroring the change I checked there and noticed icon spacing in Windows is significantly smaller than it is inside the fences I have created. I can't seem to find any settings for this. Am I missing something? Was there an update recently that changed icon spacing and can it be changed back?

I would check your resolution settings. Though there has not been an update from us for Fences that would change the spacing. Have you changed your DPI recently?

I went ahead and changed the DPS higher and lower a few times to test and that does not seem to make any difference. The icon spacing between icons inside fences is still much wider than the spacing between icons on the desktop. Is it possible to attach a screenshot to show you what I'm talking about?

Yes, you should be able to link to a screenshot hosted somewhere.

Got it. Basically all my fences do this. Icons inside fences are spaced out much more than they are on the desktop. Tried deleting them and re-creating, same thing. Also tried changing the DPS setting in Windows and updated / performed a clean install of graphics drivers.

Looks normal here. I've verified my desktop appears with the same spacing.
