Fences changes Icon sizes on multible monitoirs

from Stardock Forums

I just upgraded to Fences 5.04 and when I activate it, it changes the size of my icons on my main monitor. Changing the icon size in Display Optins makes no difference. When I make one of my other monitors the main one. It change the size of the icons to that monitors resolution. Even when I disable Fences, the Larger Icons remain. The only way I found to return the icons to "normal" size is to adjust the scale of the monitor.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know, there is 3 different monitors? Connecting and disconnecting one at a time. Or, you have them all 3 connected at the same time and using Windows to replicate all 3 at the same time?

Thank you.

There are three separate monitors.  - Monitor 1 is a Surface Pro, monitor 2 is a Lenovo 32q-20 (2560 x 1440) and the monitor 3 is a AOC USB C 1080p. The Desktop is extended to all three with #2 being my main display. 

Things worked just fine with Version 4. Besides the issue with the icon size, V5 also moved several of my icons to other monitors, where before I had no icons.

I believe Fences 5 introduced some new thing to resolved an old issue on Fences keep moving to different monitors randomly. You might need to rebuild your Fences layout on Fences 5 and save it as a new layout snapshot and see if the issue still happening.

Also, you most probably need to restart Explorer.exe when you move your primary display to different monitor to reset everything on that new primary display.

Thank you,
