Suggestions: Resize icons; multi-colored zooming fences in Fences WinCustomize Forums

Thank you SOOOO much, Stardock. I had a long list of productive activities to accomplish today. Then I stumbled across Fences. It's now half past six in the evening and I'm still playing with it, having gotten NOTHING useful done. [/rant] Unfortunately (and this is partly Fences' falt) my desktop overfloweth with icons, leading to my own suggestions. 1. Resizeable icons -- from large to "Tiny. Really tiny." 2. Set icon spacing. 3. Allowing setting a different c

Reply to Better Functionality in Fences WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="tazgecko" reply="9" id="2432561"] Would like to see OD+ and Fences left as two separate identities [/quote] I agree. What the OP suggests really duplicates OD's functionality and blurs the Fences distinctive. What JMB1984 suggests, however, would be nice. I currently have a tabbed dock setup that duplicates many of the icons on my desktop for just such a purpose. Having that process automated, rather than having to create it manually, would be a time-saver.

Reply to Enhancement - use tabs in Fences WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="starkers" reply="3" id="2444745"] While using tabbed docks would do the job, ObjectDock (to me) doesn't hide as conveniently and is a little more clumsy... as in its takes time to go off screen when auto-hide is set, whereas Fences disappears/reappears instantly with a doudle click and has a smoother transition.[/quote] Sounds like what you really want is enhancements to ObjectDock. Problem is, all Fences does is shuffle icons around on your desktop, then render a sha

Reply to Idea - Display Folder Contents in Fence in Fences WinCustomize Forums

[quote quoting="post"] ... display a specific folder contents in a fence. For example ... Since I'm in my "download" folder a lot, this idea makes it easy to for me to get in and out of the folder instead of having it open. [/quote] 1. Right click your Downloads folder and select "Create shortcut". 2. Right click on the shortcut and select Properties. 3. Click in the "Shortcut key" field and type the key combination you want to use (e.g., Ctrl-Shift-D

Reply to Render Above Desktop? in Fences WinCustomize Forums

[quote quoting="post"]When I do this, my Fences and all my other desktop icons are hidden underneath the screensaver[/quote] And when you're not using Fences, what happens to your desktop icons? It's my understanding Fences doesn't actually DO anything to your desktop icons except rearrange them. If they don't display with Fences, they won't display without it. Nathanael

Reply to Bring up fence with Hotkey in windows 7 in Fences WinCustomize Forums

Win-D, double-click your desktop icon, then Win-D to restore your desktop. Win-G works for desktop gadgets because they exist on a separate layer from the desktop called the gadget layer. Win-G simply raises the gadget layer's Z-ordering. (Technically, Win-D does exactly the same thing for your desktop layer, which means Windows already gives you exactly the functionality you're asking) Fences does nothing more than push icons around on your desktop. To do what you want would require

Reply to Enhancement in Fences WinCustomize Forums

"... minimize the fence. ... to just show the title bar on the desktop...." At which point you've got yourself an ObjectDock Plus tabbed dock. Even Fences need boundaries (pun intended). There are many enhancement possibilities which would simply morph Fences into something else entirely. I've seen suggestions such as WindowsBlinds-like roll-ups, displaying folder contents and tabbed fences, all of which serve to blur the Fences distinctive. The point of Fences is not to manag

Keyboard Launcher Wishlist in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

There doesn't seem to be any place else for discussions of Keyboard Launcher, so I'll post this here. As I am very proficient with a keyboard, I've long been searching for a keyboard hotkey application to suit my needs. Here are two items I'd like to see added to the Keyboard Launcher wishlist: 1. Context-sensitive hotkeys , to assign application-specific hotkeys, or, conversely, to disable hotkeys when running certain appli

Reply to Flyout in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

Well, this answers one question I had - sort of. I'm a newbie to the StarDock products. The first question I had was regarding a system browser applet (docklet?) on the order of the My Computer fly-out menu. However, I was hoping for something closer in design and use to the Explorer Start Menu. Just in the little time I've been playing with Stardock stuff, I'm coming to the conclusion that it's way too heavy on the eye candy, to the detrime
