Auto Hide Problem

from Stardock Forums

I have 64bit Windows 7 OS and Fences 2.13

I have Auto-hide turned on.

However, it does not seem to know when I am doing anything on my computer because it hides after the timeout regardless of activity.

What do I do to fix?

If you have the auto hide option turned on then any task, including invoking the Start Menu, will hide the fences after the timeout period.

The option says "automatically hide icons when the desktop is not in use" which is what I want it to do.

But it is hiding icons regardless of whether the desktop is in use.

"In use" means that the Desktop has 'focus', and not a window/program open on the desktop.

If you set it to 'autohide in 30 seconds' when not in use.....once you open  Word [say] and start typing in it....the fences will hide after 30 seconds of not having actually clicked on the desktop...;)

Here's an example.

At one point I clicked on one of the icons and two seconds later all icons disappeared.

I have it set to the max of ten minutes so I must have been close to the ten minutes.

Can you post a screenshot of your fences configuration regarding hide, etc..?

I don't see a way to post a screen shot.

The INSERT IMAGE button on the editor is wanting a URL.

The image needs to be already online...via one of the online/upload services...;)
