After trying fences for a full month, I decided to get a license, as I considered it does the job... more or less, because it can still use some fine-tuning. Hoping the devs of this wonderful software are paying attention, I'd like to suggest some aspects:
- Show Labels, could use a feature to SHOW labels for all fences that have a custom named label, while completely hiding labels for those who do not have a label. Some of my fences I like to have labels (especially folder portals), but there are fences which I'd like to stay sleek and clean. Now, if i set the Labels to "never show", the folder portal will still show up on mouse-over. I'd like more control over where and when to show the labels. Maybe full individual override of labels for each fence would be a good idea.
- Desktop Pages doesn't have the best management (eg. the possibility to decide which page to become the "default desktop"). Also, multiple displays don't work always as expected with Fences. Configuring "Store my Fences positionson a per-screen-resolution basis" will always move my main desktop on second screen. If I have a second page created, it will be on the first screen, no matter if the second page has been created on the left or on the right of the main desktop. It gets really confusing at times.
- Maybe a better multi-page Organizer/Editor would be a good idea (like a tiled grid, with all pages, where the use can drag and drop elements from one page to another)
- Pages Switching, now uses Alt Key + Arrows (or mouse). While that's alright, having the keys customizable would give more flexibility to its users. Personally, I'd like to use WIN Key + Arrows (or mouse), as it's more suggestive. Plus, I'm using Alt for other operations.
Thanks for listening.
