Today I started using Fences V5.86 Rev. 8 and have a few questions:
1. is there somewhere a detailed manual available in English or German?
2. if I have created the first window and colored it according to my taste, named it and filled it with icons from the desktop, how can I apply this color formatting to the other windows, or is there a general setting somewhere that applies to all windows?
3. how and where can I minimize or set the vertical and horizontal distances between the windows (e.g. 1.5 - 2mm) and lock them so that the distances cannot be changed accidentally?
Thank you for your valuable help - ROGELA
1) Here is a link to Fences usage on the Stardock support site.

2) You can copy and paste fence colors. Roll your mouse over the header of the Fence you want copy the color and click the three bars on the left, then select View>Copy color. Then do the same thing on the Fence where you want to paste the color and click the three bars on the left, then select View>Paste color.
3) On the Layout tab you can set the Group spacing & snapping.
Hello Pelaird
Thank you for your quick and professional help. I appreciate such answers, which quickly lead to the goal !!!
1. i immediately linked the online manual to my desktop. It helps a lot.
2. inheriting the settings of a sample window to all other windows works perfectly.
3. the setting with the grids between the windows also works “almost” satisfactorily. I have selected a spacing of 10 pixels. In some places you have to use the shift key in addition to cancel out the grid and fine-tune it. I have the subjective impression that this is always the case when windows of different sizes face each other.
4. what really bothers me: The configuration menu with its 11 sub-chapters is written in a horrible mess of German and English, despite the setting “System language German”. Given that Fences has been around for so long, this is an absolute disgrace, especially in view of the highly professional translation programs available online. It's a big mystery to me what the developers in Plymouth where thinking abaout.
Now my desktop looks really tidy and beautiful; I'm really happy with it. Now Christmas can come
With this in mind, I wish you a cuddly, warm, bright, contemplative, heavenly, peaceful, angelic, calorie-bombing and reindeer-strong Christmas.
Kind Regards - Rolf
