![]() ![]() I would think its best to start fences just before the 'StartupDelayInMSec' so it has a head start in front of the other programs. If a program in the startup depends on services being loaded, those programs might fail in unexpected ways, now or later down the road when i install something and completely forgot about changing the startup-delay. However i am not gonna tinker with that if that means all programs in the "startup" will start immediately. Well that makes a lot of sense ! Its very nice to know about this option. This can be disabled in the OS via this method : Windows intentionally delays the startup of things in the startup group in order to make the startup process appear quicker. Also, in my experience, programs that show this behavior, are prone to have other issues also and usually i regard unnecessary slowness as a lack of quality (but i hope this is not true in this case, particularly since i payed good money for it). Prior to fences, after login i could pretty much instantly use windows.Īlthough 20 sec for a one time boot is not the biggest issue, sometimes when multiple boots are required in a row, its particularly annoying if the boot hangs every time. Before fences the OS has been snappy for a long time also. Its seems a bit much fences taking more then 2x the time to start compared to the whole OS. taskmanager->startup) to see if anything else is causing troubles but i am pretty sure its fences itself. After entering my login, it takes fences 20 sec to show any icons on my desktop. Time between bios post and win login screen is a bit less then 10 sec. To have some quantification i actually timed it, since "long" and "slow" are to subjective to make a forum post about. The second thing which did surprise me in a bad way, is the startup delay after installing fences. They are not overly heavy but more then i expected, taking into consideration i got a decent cpu (see below). I tried the animated ones and although the cpu-usage isn't that high, it does increase it enough to make my cpu (or gpu fan?) fan blow harder. Some of the animated Desktop backgrounds in deskscapes are really nice. However 1 mayor thing and 1 minor thing did disappoint me (so far).įirst the minor. I don't anticipate ever using any of them (apart from groupy and fences). The other programs from object desktop (i tested 5 so far) i uninstalled after some tinkering. (So now i got 2 licences for that probably) Hence i bought groupy prior on steam, before i bought object desktop straight from this site. Just like somebody else in the forum i got confused by the 365 days( 365 support, not 365 days license). In some sense i think the website undersold it. Imho the amount of effort in customizing and good design went well above my expectation. Still i don't mind supporting a good software product and i might be positively surprised.įences itself was much better then i anticipated. ![]() Since i got a nice discount for the whole object desktop package, i went with that, although honestly none of the other apps really interested me. I already bought groupy before on steam and decided since i liked it, i make "the jump" and buy fences also.
