Fenced icons created for multiple screen pc now are overlapping on single screen pc

win 11. latest Fences.

nothing was changed to the pc, but instead of driving three monitors, it's now only hooked up to one. same resolution and size as the other 3 monitors were.

but since the fenced icons on the original multi monitor system had lots more room to spread out, now they'r crammed onto one monitor. Overlapping, half visible etc.

would doing that wipe out my existing fences? I was hoping to avoid doing that for 50 desktop shortcuts.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Purge should not remove your saved snapshots. But, if you wish you can use this guide to back it up. https://forums.stardock.com/486084/fences-support-faq#backupsnapshots

Thanks

to be clear, these fences displayed fine when i had two monitors to spread them out on.

so unless you're saying that something is corrupted because the fences should have scaled and rearranged automatically to fit on one monitor, then purging wont help?

more i'd like to use the old fenced groups but make them more vertical and rollup

sort of like going from a 3 bedroom ranch style home to a one bedroom apartment.

Understood. What you can do, when you on single monitor mode, move those overlapping fences rearrange it, roll it up, create a new Fences desktop page and move some of those fences to your second Fences desktop page. After all is done and as you wanted them to be. Save a layout snapshot for that one. Also, create another snapshot for your multiple monitor mode. So when you on single monitor mode, you just need to do restore layout snapshot to which every mode you need.

Thank you,

We're communicating better now..

The single monitor is so crowded that there's no room to rearrange or stretch out any of the fences. And remember, only one monitor on this machine now.

Is there a way to "create a new Fences desktop page " and selectively move one fence at a time to the new one?

Hello,

Fences desktop pages, if "enable", will be automatically create and new page if you drag an icon or a Fence across the left or right border of you monitor. More on how to use and navigate Fences pages if you click on those items in the red square in screenshot below.

Thank you,
