Great App. Tested it on XP. Brings system as expected to crash 

Tell me, any plans to make this work for XP?

 

Works fine on my XP, other than not wanting to play nice with Display Fusion.

I downloaded it, installed it, ran the configure wizard thingy, and...

IT'S FANTASTIC!

It does work on XP, but you need .NET 2.0 as well.

Thanks for the quick answers!

"Unfortunately", I have .NET 2.0.

I don't know which other app causes it to crash then, but I will try it again.

If I have more information and could not resolve it, I will post again.

Head to the Fences settings dialog. On the about page, there's now a button "Debug Info" ; give it a click. If you can't get the dialog open at all, go there directly by heading to "%appdata%\Stardock\Fences\TroubleshootingLog\". Post the file shown at that location ("fences_debug_info.txt").

This seems to break multi-monitor spanning wallpapers. When I enable fences it changes the wallpaper so that instead of spanning, it shows multiple copies. I use DisplayFusion to span.

I must say that I love this application. I dreamed of it a while ago, and when I saw it I thought "At last!" 

 

I had already made a desktop background image a while back that sort of had areas with different outlines so I could put icons of different categories in them. Never really worked very well though:P

EDIT: On second thought, I decided to share it with you (reduced the size though)

on Feb 06, 2009

I installed it and I love it!

@paffinity - Yeah, aware of the Ultramon/Displayfusion wallpaper issues, will be fixing that in the next update in not long.

@Achronous - cool look! the pro version later this year will have skinning support for sure, and that is a cool concept right there  thanks for sharing.

I am loving this. Thanks a lot!

That is several flavors of awesome, right there!

Thank you. So, I installed it again.

Can reproduce the error everytime.

I fiddle around with fences a bit and I get a system crash on right-click trying to move a file to the trash can. If I move it by hand, it works and does not crash.

Otherwise: Explorer.exe is crashing, then drwtsn32.exe, with that the system is down.

My .NET 2.0 Version is v2.0.50727.

I sent you, Zubaz, the Debug-Info per pm. It's pretty long...

 

Although I could not enjoy it a lot - two wishes:

1 - Have in a per-fence-option to do some batch operations with the files. Moving the content to a (prespecified) Windows folder e.g. (would really love this one, apart from the simple fact that I would love it if Fences ran on my system...)

2 - Have the option to show thumbnails of pictures.

Why thanks JMB

Most excellent.

Csn you make it compatible with RightClick? At the moment if I enable RC I lose the frames options, and I can't find a way of adding them to the RC menuWhat do you mean by "frame options"?

 

Sorry I meant fence options - rename fence, customize fence etc on the menu when you right-click on a fence or the desktop.  If you enable RC they disappear from the menu (even when the cursor is over a fence)
