Fences not resizing correctly after switching displays

January 24, 2019 3:23 AM from

I am using Fences v3.09 on a variety of systems, but the problem I encountered is on my notebook (Dell Latitude 7480) running Windows 10, build 1809. I sometimes connect it to my TV using the HDMI connection. This works just fine. After disconnecting however, the notebook's display is reactivated and Fences are restored to their original sizes and positions. Well, almost.... The width of the Fences is not restored correctly. I have set them to fit 5 icons, but the width is restored to very slightly less than that, so I have to keep resizing the Fences to their correct width every time. I have kept my display drivers (Intel HD 620) up to date, but these do not seem to have any influence on this small niggle. Did anyone else encounter this? Is there a simple fix for it?

Thank you, checking the option 'Store my Fences' positions on a per-screen-resolution basis' has fixed the issue I was having. I think this was the default on previous installations of Fences, but I am not certain about that. Anyway, my problem is gone now!
