- Stardock releases Fences 5.81 with improved multi-monitor support.
- New update enhances desktop management for users with external displays.
- Additional quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes are also included in the update.
Stardock, the renowned software developer, has rolled out a fresh update for its popular desktop management tool, Fences 5. The latest version, 5.81, brings a host of improvements, with a special focus on users who frequently juggle between multiple monitors.
The standout feature of this update is its enhanced support for external displays. Users who often connect and disconnect from additional screens will find their desktop layouts preserved more reliably. This smart adaptation ensures that your carefully organized icons and folders stay put, regardless of your monitor setup.
Fences 5.81 doesn’t stop at multi-monitor enhancements. The update also delivers:
- Faster resizing of Folder Portals.
- Better syncing with cloud services like Dropbox and OneDrive.
- Improved compatibility with the latest Windows 11 preview builds.
With this update, all users will now default to “Store my layout on a per-monitor configuration.” While seasoned users can still access legacy options, Stardock recommends embracing this new engine for its superior performance and flexibility.
If you already have Fences, get the update from Settings > About > Check for updates.
For those new to Fences, you can purchase it directly from Stardock’s website or through Steam. It’s available as a standalone app or as part of the comprehensive Object Desktop package.
