Possible bug. Fences doesn't work when Deskscapes are running on Windows 7 64 bit. Fences works fine as long as there's no Dream running, but doesn't work when there is.
I have the same type of conflict when running both Fences and Deskscapes on 32-bit XP w/ SP3.
The icons never stay faded out - they fade out then right back in with every mouse click.
The fences do not show. I cannot move "fenced" icons as a group because there's no fence to click & drag.
Deskscapes and Fences (and ActiveDesktop) are incompatible with each other on Windows XP.
They are compatible with each other on Windows Vista (32 and 64 bit) and Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit).
It's odd that there was an issue the first time I tried running it. It's working fine now.
Same here.
I have a feeling a reboot was/is needed....
Rebooting is a good idea after installing either of these applications, but is required after installing Fences.
Deskscapes and Fences are not compatible with each other on ANY operating system. I've tried it on XP, Vista 32, Vista 64, and Windows 7 64-bit. The results are the same for all of them. The deskscape plays ok, but the fences are invisible and unselectable, except for right-clicking to bring up the configure dialogue.
rassilon: Which specific version of Deskscapes and Fences does Impulse report you're using?

DeskScapes and Fences together on XP does not work, but on Vista and 7 you should have no issues.
I am having similiar problems to those listed here. Currently up to date with fences pro & deskscapes 3, but when I enable the dream, fences no longer show up (all my icons are dumped to my desktop no longer in fences). I am on Win 7 64 bit. Any suggestions? I have rebooted and it didn't seem to help.
Any help would be appreciated.
OK, I see I need to turn fences off to get deskscapes to work on XP. But why is it that when I hit the start button, my dream freezes?
As soon as the start panel closes, the dream runs again. Fences disabled.
This is normal. We do that to ensure it works correctly with WindowBlinds and semi transparent startmenus.
Thanks Neil.
OK, so now, on Win 7, 64 bit, most recent Deskscapes and Fences Pro, I can't double click and hide my Fences with a dream running.
