items jump screens - solved!

how to stop?

November 1, 2018 7:06:10 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I installed Deskscape then Fences, then Object Desktop manager several months later, just recently. I'd created four groups and placed them on my second monitor. I also have a printer utility that loads to the 2nd monitor. Worked fine for a while. For the last several days things keep jumping around from monitor to monitor, sometimes its all moved, sometimes not. I've tried leaving the groups open, open only on mouse-over, 100% transparent, and other settings, everything still jumps around.

How can I troubleshoot this or solve it?

Thanks.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues. Please make sure your setting as below. And try to restore your layout. See if that help. Once you have a good layout make a practice to save that layout and give it a good name so you can remember it when you need to load something that known to be good.

If the problem still there. Please try the purge and reinstall steps : https://forums.stardock.com/486084/fences-support-faq#reinstalling

Make sure to reboot after the reinstall.

Report back. Thanks.

Well I have to say using object desktop mgr is never dull. Things keep morphing; I'm trying different combinations to find a stable one. Firefox interacts strangely at times with any appearance changes; it doen't close but instead acts like a retracted group and has to be closed with File/Exit from the taskbar, which is still visible even after the close icon is clicked; etc., etc.

It's not breaking anything, it's just unusual weirdness that is hard to nail down, as some changes bring new effects.

Overall I'm enjoying it, and it is teaching me the Manager as well.

I still cannot figure out how to solve the blacked out right side of the menu bar in Firefox. No matter what blind I switch to, reboot to, there is still this black rectangle hiding the entire upper right hand of the window so you cant minimize, adjust or close t he window.

Hello,

Try this. Firefox's 3 bar menu -> Customize -> (Bottom left) Tick check box "Title bar"

Thank you,

WOW! Yup, that did it! No more black box over the bar! Thank you; I never would have found that tiny little checkbox way down in that corner; I'm sure that's the first time I ever looked there!

Big difference to me, as instead of 2 or 3 themes, now I have access to all of them! 2 thumbs up!
