All,

We have always been working to improve the reliability of Fences placement.  What has made this challenging are all the variables that are involved:

  • Quantity of monitors

  • Connection types 

  • DPI \ Scale \Resolution

  • Waking from sleep \ hibernate states

  • Evolution of Windows itself and how it manages items on the desktop

That said, we have something in the early stages that may address most cases for most people and we are looking for users who are willing to test this version of our updated engine.

NOTE: As stated, this is an early build.  While internal tests have been promising, no one should install this on a PC if they are not willing to do considerable work to resolve unforeseen issues.  It's not going to set a PC on fire or nuke files but it may involve a manual reconstruction of what's on the desktop. 

The build:

Post-install \ reboot (<-important):

We are anxious to hear how this works to resolve your reported issues.
