Trying Fences 6 beta. In using the Rollup feature, I noticed that it doesn't roll back down IN FRONT of other windows when I mouseover. Seems like it should become the topmost window when doing this.
Please, add the option to set the horizontal spacing of icons, so that desktop space can be used more efficiently. Icons in Fences have always been more widely spaced than those on the regular Windows Desktop (outside of Fences), and this is frustrating because it prevents optimal use of space.
Hello,Sorry to hear you are having issues. This is normal for Fences as it work on desktop area that is what by default it unroll under and open Windows. To force it to open on top of Windows you will need to use its Peek function. Go here-> Fences configuration Windows-> Peek tab -> setup hot keys to bring Fences infront.
Thank you,Basj,Stardock Community Assistant.
If you on Fences 6, not sure if this option available on previous version. Try this setting.
Thank you,

Another cool feature I would like to see extended to folder portals as well
Saw this on reddit. If you dl'd Fences from Stardock, then it's a false positive.You can test this with a multi-engined online A/V scanner...https://www.malwarebytes.com/solutions/virus-scanner
Having the same issue, there's no way I'm going to deactivate my antivirus for any programs that trigger a warning (even a false detection). What's the solution here? Do I wait beta 3 to release once Kaspersky figures out that its a false positive? I had no issues with the first beta 1 release. Just bought my fences 6 license recently. I saw on another thread that you guys don't keep any past installers so I guess I have to just wait it out? Thanks.
Well I believe you could just whitelist Fences 6

Other then that, the dev did say they were going to get in touch with Kaspersky this week and I believe once the definition list is updated even beta 2 will no longer be flagged as a virus (falsely)
Precisely.

I could've worded what I said better, by deactivating, I was also implying whitelisting or excluding any programs, I would rather just wait it out. No offence to the developers but having a program detected as a Trojan-Spy32 which implies it logs your keystrokes/screen isn't exactly something I would be willing to go ahead and whitelist even if it's a false positive.
good info on the updates here
