[quote who="basj" reply="14" id="3930447"] Not sure its an easy fix since both products might have conflicting issue, both using Explorer.exe to work. Thank you, Basj, Stardock Community Assistant [/quote] I'm aware, still thank you.

[quote who="basj" reply="10" id="3930392"] Anybody can do Fences Trial. Thank you, Basj, Stardock Community Assistant [/quote] Alright I tested it on a fresh Windows 11 VM with Fences 5 and ExplorerBlurMica, it happens with Fences 5 too and is definitely related to the tool if the devs perhaps want to take a look.

I found the culprit, it's caused by a open-source third-party tool I failed to consider! https://github.com/Maplespe/ExplorerBlurMica So this is not a problem on Fences' side, I'll open an issue on the project's Github. Although it would be nice if the developers of Fences could look into this as well. Here's a link to the Issue I opened: https://github.com/Maplespe/ExplorerBlurMica/issues/148</p

[quote who="basj" reply="7" id="3930369"] Not sure why you need to install older version instead installing the latest V4.22? Also, please post a full desktop screenshot so I can see and understand the issue better. Thank you, Basj, Stardock Community Assistant [/quote] Otherwise I couldn't get Fences to open for some reason but as said the reinstall didn't improve things anyhow. As for screeenshots, here are two that show the issue, Folder

I fixed that by installing Fences4_4.1.1.0-j110-Setup.exe and then upgrading to 4.22 again, however the problem with the black Folder Portals persist. I also disabled any other third-party software like Wallpaper Engine however it caused no change in behavior. The background of Folder Portals turn black as soon as the display topology changes or any navigation is done inside Folder Portals. &n

Fences 4.22 on Windows 11, Folder Portal background becomes solid black when a monitor is enabled/disabled or resolution changes in Fences Stardock Forums

I noticed whenever I change my screen resolution or enable or disable a monitor the background of any Folder Portal fence changes to a solid black. The only way to fix this is by restarting Windows Explorer. I'm running Fences 4.22 on Windows 11 22631.3447

Reply to Fences 5 Upgrade Feedback in Fences Stardock Forums

I've been using SD Software since the Windows XP days and I always liked SD as a company however when I just now saw an email that Fences 5 is available I couldn't believe my eyes. I'm more than fine with there being a subscription option for faster updates as long as a permanent buy stays available however for existing customers the pricing is an absolute slap in the face. Without knowing about the operating costs of SD I would propose the following: Fences 5 P

It was clearly working before also with the legacy or third-party context menus and it still works now by calling it from the Start Menu so Fences must have broken something in the updates :/

I can confirm opening the Fences options doesn't work when calling it from the Legacy Context Menu in Windows 11.

Thanks that fixed it for me too! Although I had to start Fences via the Start Menu, it still wouldn't come up via the right-click menu.

[quote who="TPScroggins" reply="19" id="3881547"] Can you test the other methods as well? If you are trying via right-click on the desktop can you also try from the desktop icon (if there is one) and from the Start Menu? Paul Scroggins Associate Technical Support Analyst [/quote] Thanks for the reply, I did that now but sadly no method of opening Fences has any effect on my system. In fact there isn't even a fences.exe in my Task Manager

Reply to Start11 v1.3 Brings More Control to Your Taskbar in Start News Stardock Forums

Thanks for the update! This is what I was waiting for but sadly I cannot win it seems. I thought I could finally change my centered start orb but this requires to turn on the Enhanced Taskbar and doing so breaks RoundedTB so I'm back to square one. I literally cannot win, all I want is to change the start-orb while retaining the native Windows 11 taskbar :P

Start11 sends the wrong Shutdown command in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

I recently installed the Start11 trial and noticed the "Shutdown" button doesn't match the expected behavior on Windows 11. Presumably Start11 sends: "shutdown -s -t 00" which doesn't restore the user-session in the background upon the next boot. The expected command would be: "shutdown -sg -t 00"

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="1" id="3815324"] The start button would remain with the taskbar icons. So you can have startbutton + taskbar icons left or centred but not a mix on Windows 11. Thats certainly an interesting request however to split them. Right now on Windows 11 you cannot change the start button image. This is something thats being considered as there are complications with taskbar centred mode. On Windows 10 the button can indeed

Since Start 11 doesn't have a trial yet I unfortunately can't test it myself before purchasing. Can Start 11 move the Start Button to the left while keeping the other icons centered and is the Start Button itself customizable with another image? Thanks for answers in advance! :)

I want to apologize too for my loaded response earlier, thank you for looking into this and taking it seriously! I'm so used nowadays that companies try to do everything in the book to increase profits and the mention of DeskScapes in the same sentence just really rubbed me the wrong way :(

Reply to Updated Fences to 3.1.0.5, and Wallpaper Engine stopped working in Fences Stardock Forums

Honestly I'm also disappointed by this behavior. How about adding a Wallpaper Engine Compatibility Mode to Fences that disables all Fences features that conflict with WE? That said since 3.09 works it can't be that much that is truly incompatible. That said, here's a tip from someone that partially studied economics and business: Forcing customers to use your product over a competitors by using such tactics rarely ever works, if you want customers
