Monitor-specific layouts

from Stardock Forums

Most of my COVID-era work uses my laptop docked, with two large desktop monitors. I have Fences set up on one of these. When I do un-dock and take the laptop on the road, Fences on the smaller laptop monitor looks horrible, with many overlaps/etc. That may not be avoidable.

But when I return home, re-dock, and use the large monitors again, the Fences layout is changed. Not completely horrible, but different enough to be a PITA.

Does Fences 4 fix this? Or do I need to excavate some menu in the software to set up a specific layout for each monitor -- and then hope Fences can figure out which one I am using?

You sent me to a thread on "Multi monitors and docks". Fair enough. But all the links referenced in that thread (for example, setting up specific by-monitor Fence settings) return the same error:  "404 - File or directory not found".

 

Not helpful.

Thanks for the update. The links now work. However, the suggested fixes did not.

Do you suppose Fences 4 (I have Fences 3) fixes this issue?
