Reply to Fences 6 Lifetime license pricing confusion in Fences Stardock Forums

[quote who="SamA10" reply="10" id="3984796"] Hello, I think I see what is happening now. I've only got Fences 6 installed (I've never tried Fences 5) and it pops up with the upgrade offer each time I boot into Windows 11. So, I thought this offer was applicable to those with an expired trial of Fences 6. I must admit it is disappointing that the pop-up and website doesn't specify the terms and conditions of the offer as this would've saved me from wasting a lot of time trying

[quote who="fauxwindsock" reply="28" id="3984764"] Looks prefect. It does not appear on my install. I deleted and reinstalled from Object Desktop. [/quote] I am not following, looks perfect meaning the build i sent you worked? If you installed the same build from Object Desktop, it would not have anything new from the original release.

[quote who="ilminor" reply="26" id="3984754"] The "Database Error" I posted earlier makes the program completely unusable, since no connections are captured. Are you folks looking into this? If so, I'll be patient. If not, then I'm very disappointed... [/quote] Did you check your DMs? I sent you a link to a new build that I made a change to try and address the issue...need your feedback to see if it works as expected.

Reply to Connection Explorer, It’s like a Blacklight for your PC in Object Desktop News Stardock Forums

[quote who="jdchapman1" reply="1" id="3984514"] I am very interested in your new app, Connection Explorer, but I am not interested in purchasing or even trial installing Object Desktop. I prefer to purchase tools individually and as a perpetual license. I hope that at some point Stardock will release Connection Explorer as a stand-alone app with a perpetual license option. [/quote] It will become a stand-alone option once we reach 1.0 but the license will most likely not be

Connection Explorer, It’s like a Blacklight for your PC in Object Desktop News Stardock Forums

A few weeks ago, we released our brand-new application, Connection Explorer. The initial feedback has been helpful as we continue to evolve the application and add new features while making excellent progress towards a general release. The core feature of the application, the map view, has been described as a “blacklight for your PC” which might be the best description of Connection Explorer yet. The goal

[quote who="mikeburris" reply="8" id="3984171"] This is great, but I think it doesn't go far enough: how about options to disable the MS telemetry/ads? Options to block known malware addresses? If we're going to be able to see the connections, why can't we control the connections? [/quote] First thing, is the app is still a beta, not even 1.0 yet - more features are coming. The ability to block MS telemetry/ads is a very tricky a

Reply to Right-clicking in the blank area of a Folder Portal crashes Fences 6 in Fences Stardock Forums

Do you have any other apps adding content to the context menu? I cant seem to repro here but the issue would seem to be tied to that event - so my rough guess is that something is trying to load and failing.

Reply to Right-clicking in the blank area of a Folder Portal crashes Fences 6 in Fences Stardock Forums

When you say blank area, do you mean a folder portal that is pointing at a folder that has no content in it or do you mean the blank area in-between the columns?

How to Enable Vertical Taskbars in Windows 11 in Start News Stardock Forums

There has been a lot of chatter this past week about Windows 11 and vertical taskbars . Microsoft did not include this feature in Windows 11 and has not shipped the functionality in any of its many, many updates. If you are needing this functionality as you migrate over from Windows 10, Start11 v2 already supports this scenario and you can get started today. And

[quote who="pelaird" reply="1" id="3983327"] In addition to what Brad says above, Start11v2 provides a tremendous number of options and configurations to make your Start menu truly unique. I use the Windows 10 style menu with many of the features customized to my liking. I like to keep my desktop clear, in order to display artistic backgrounds, so the Start11 menu is my jumping off point to everything on my system. Here is an image of my Start11 menu using groups, tabs, transparency, cus

Sorry for the issues, almost certainly is going to be an IP related block, we have been getting hit by a ton of AI bots hitting all the forums and conveniently, all at the same time. Can you DM your IP address and I will take a look and make sure to get you download links.

From the video (thanks for attaching that) it seems the process is cutting out early as it should take a bit longer to apply. What anti-virius software do you have installed? As an aside, how do you like that laptop?

[quote who="LightStar" reply="5" id="3983029"] In case anyone is wondering, I just installed this on WIndows 10 and it works perfectly. [/quote] There's nothing explicitly in the app blocking Windows 10 compatibility but before releasing 1.0 it will move from .net8 to .net10 and with Win10 now EOL, we did all of our testing on W11.
