This has been discussed before, but I can't find a recent forum comment about this issue. The newest I found was 2016. So I am writing a new one. The suggestions given in 2016 don't seem to work.
When I use Deskscape at the same time as Fences, my desktop icons do not go away (hide) when I double click on the desktop. I think I know what the issue is but don't know what the fix it. The problem is that Deskscape has a "Desktop Icon Transparency" settings. Why it has this setting when you have fences doesn't make any sense. Someone explain to me what "Desktop Icon Transparency" suppose to mean when you have fences that suppose to hide the icons when you double-click the mouse.
It has a normal setting (whatever that means) and a mouseover setting. When I set the normal setting to "invisible" and the mouseover setting to "visible", the icons hide when my mouse is NOT on the desktop (for instance in a window or on the taskbar), but as soon as I put the mouse cursor on the desktop my icons appear. When I double-click the mouse, which is the unhide activation action for fences, the fences boxes appear, but the icons are still on the desktop. When I double-click again, the boxes go away, but the icons remain. When I put the Normal setting on invisible AND the Mouseover setting on invisible, the icons disappear; however, double-clicking on the desktop does NOT make the icons appear or the fences boxes appear - everything just remains invisible. It is obvious the "Desktop Icon Transparency" setting in Deskscape is interferring with the hide/unhide functionality of Fences. By putting Nornal setting and mouseover setting on invisible, it is overriding the double-click unhide funtionality of fences. Looks like the Fences programming team is not talking to the Deskscape programming team. Guys, you gotta talk to each other.
Does anyone have a fix for it? The two suggestions given in 2016 was to reinstalll fences and deskscape and to reboot the computer when you activate deskscape. None of those suggestions works. If I was using the free version of the programs, fine, but I paid for my Fences and Deskscape.
