Thank you for your interest and any time you put into making Fences 4 a better product.
Win+Space key seems to not work properly. Every time I unlock my desktop the space key won't perform it's normal function until I press Win+Space one time.(Windows 11 21H2 - OS Build 22000.346)I also have two Fences that, for unknown reasons, won't align with the other Fences and seem to have a title that does some kind of shrug when you hover the mouse over the Fence. When the "shrug" happens, the Fence is properly aligned at the top with the Fences on either side, but when my mouse is not over the Fence, the title sits 5-10 pixels below the ones to either side. Minor, but annoying.
Oh, I also second the request to remove the feature that moves Fence titles to the bottom of the Fence when near the top of the screen. Or if not remove it, make it so it's something we can toggle off.
No, that's how beta release numbering is done. A Beta of a version 4 is a pre-4 release...so has a pre-4 number.
Only when a program is declared 'gold' does it get a full product version number.
Fences 4, when out of beta will show as 'Version 4.0' [or equivalent]...
Similar issues to Loeffelmaster & Compusmurf, Peek is happening when just pressing Space (no Win key held down). Seems quite random when it happens but I can clear it by pressing Win key on it's own a few times, haven't needed to reboot or anything.
Win11, beta channel, build 22000.318
Same error here. I just installed Fences the first time and I wanted to restore the first-use automatic fences. Instead it crashed with this error. I'm also on Windows 10, 21H1

It has been resolved with a forthcoming update.

I've upgraded from fences 3 to 4 beta. I'm a light user so everything's great.
One thing I've spotted is my background images go black and then return. They aren't changing to new images. They just go and then back.
I have two monitors, 1 2k and the other FullHD. The only change I've made is updating fences.
There are many great features available to you once you register, including:
