### Don’t preserve my desktop layout

Fences will not attempt to adjust the existing fences

### Preserve my desktop layout by scaling my Fence groups (legacy)

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

### Store my layout on a per monitor-configuration basis

Fence groups will store their positions based on a per-resolution/per-monitor basis

- *Adjust displays* to swap the contents of connected monitors

## Icon spacing

## Group spacing & snapping

![image]()

### 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
