Windows Multiple Desktops and Fences Desktop Icons Incompatible?

from Stardock Forums

Greetings!

I was wondering if this is an issue, or If I have not located the appropriate setting(s).
I have the Fence's (4) Pages disabled as I am using multiple desktops as inherently featured in Windows (11). When I switch desktops, the taskbar changes with inactive apps accordingly, but the desktop fences stay the same.
How can I change make the desktop icons either to stick to either desktop, or if I activate the Pages in Fences, how can the taskbar activity change as well?

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having trouble.

This is not yet a feature of Fences but it is being considered.

Thanks for the feedback.

Hello Sean,

In short, I support the request.

It was Windows Central promoting Start11 that introduced me to Stardock. At the moment trialling Start11 again on Windows 11.

Had a look around on your website and ran into Fences. Looks interesting to me, but raised the same question as in this thread.

Funny thing is that I have been using Virtual Desktops on Windows 10. When I first saw Windows 11 Start in preview months ago, I engaged in the feedback to Microsoft. Using Microsoft Launcher with its launcher pages on Android, I gave the feedback that Windows 11 Start is lacking customization and suggested them to be more innovative and use Windows Virtual Desktops as launcher pages like Launcher on Android. It would be superb if you could implement this concept and have Virtual Desktop dedicated Fences. In this concept, I would like to have an icon for each Virtual Desktop on the Taskbar left of the Start icon and the apps available on that Virtual Desktop to the right of the Start icon. Curious to hear what you think of this concept.

I will install a trial of Fences to see if Fences Pages to see what that offers.

Thanks,
Joscelin
