Quick-hide Fails to Hide Non-Folder Portal Icons when Dreamscapes .Dream is Active

I believe there's some conflicting functionality between Fences' "Quick-hide" and Deskscapes' "Desktop icon transparency".

If you Quick-hide Fences while a Deskscapes .dream is active, you'll see that all of the non-folder portal icons do not become hidden as they should and normally would.

If you deactivate the .dream and revert to a standard wallpaper, Quick-hide hides those same non-folder portal icons correctly.

Support Ticket Submitted.

Hello please try the purge and reinstall steps for Deskscapes. Follow this steps : https://forums.stardock.com/485954/deskscapes-support-faq#reinstalling

Get the latest version of Deskscapes from your account. reinstall that version. Don't forget to reboot before and after the installation.

Recheck if the problem solved. And report back.

Already done. I "purged" both Fences and Deskscapes, and again, no change.

Need to know what do you mean by "non-folder portal icons"? And I assume you mean all other fences hide without issue?

It best if you could provide us with a video of your problem.

Thank you,

I had the same problem and followed the same directions. I am a new customer with a fresh windows instructions. I found that installing new dreams caused the issue reported by the OP. However, rebooting the pc fixed it.
