Stardock’s new killer app: Fences. Download it, it’s free!
https://www.stardock.com/products/fences
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.
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)
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.
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)
