### Don’t preserve my desktop layout

Fences will not attempt to adjust the existing fences

### Preserve my desktop layout by scaling my Fence groups

Fences will adjust the size of the Fences in relation to the change in resolution

### Store my Fence group positions on a per screen-resolution basis

Fences will store the positions based on the resolutions of the monitors

- Reset saved settings for other screen resolutions - This will reset the stored position of the above setting


## Snapping / spacing

### Keep groups lined up when moving

This option activates a “snapping” effect for moving Fences

### Keep groups spaced _ pixels apart when moving

This option can add a padding between fences, it is set by the number of pixels you want the Fences spaced by

### Keep groups sized to even multiples of icons (1x1, 2x2, 3x2, ect) when resizing

This option can keep Fences in a more uniform style when resizing the Fence
