Hello,

It seems I'm still using the old GUI in Fences. What do I need to change to get the other one that Start11 and Groupy have? The text looks small and pixelated compared to the other Stardock programs.

Thank you!

Fences 6.2.0

Hello,

I'm still having a problem with fences.

When I create a group on the desktop, I get the "modern context menu" as expected.

However, when I create a folder, the old context menu appears.

Have I configured something incorrectly?

Thanks in advance.

I'm seeing a similar issue to the one reported by mr_vico.

Upgraded from 6.02 to 6.20.  Some Desktop Context menus no longer work (an empty sub-menu appears when they are selected).  

Under 6.20:

This is the way the menu that appears under 6.02 with Fences enabled and Under 6.20 with the Fences context disabled (Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\background\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\FencesShellExt)

It also happens with Power Options and Switch Power Plans menus.

Let me know what other information I can provide to troubleshoot this.

Hi Pelaird,

Thanks for posting.

I wouldn't expect the group to expand unless the headerbar is clicked, as long as "Require clicking headerbar to expand group" is selected.  However, I have reproduced the scrollbar appearing with the mouseover and logged for review.

Hi Pelaird,

Thanks for this report — indeed that scrollbar should not be showing. We fixed this in the version just released to beta, v6.40. Thanks again for the report and let us know if you can confirm fixed 🙌

I have enhanced taskbar on, I click an item, it opens another one a few to the right. I have it on a zoomed enhanced taskbar.

When I turn off Start11 enhance taskbar, restart explorer and standard settings it works (which is showing for multiple screens of app multiple icons). When I go in settings and turn "always combine taskbar buttons on" the problem starts.

Please solve this.

I do not put my computer to sleep, I simply turn off the screen, but when I go back to log in, it takes a very long time to restore whatever I had running and Fences do not remain in position and the icons within each Fence have moved around.  This started after a recent Windows update while I was running Fences 5.  Updating to 6 did not change this behaviour.  I seem to recall this problem having happened several years ago, but do no recall the specific solution other than Stardock updated Fences.
