And will we be REQUIRED, with CONSTANT NAGS, to upgrade from 3 to 4 for whatever these "benefits" are? 3 works ok with Win 11, btw, so what's my motivation?

I would like the fences to extend horizontally as well.

A way to Alt-Tab into at least one fence. Or a little utility to alt-tab into a show desktop type of view.

The Microsoft way of moving the mouse to the very lower right of the taskbar works but I can never tell if my mouse is at the correct place for that object.

Win-D works but is not as natural as Alt-Tab.

I would like the ability to arrange items within a "fence" and have the arrangement "stick." That is the way I arrange my desktop now, and I would like to extend that capability to Fences, so that I could group icons in my favored order and then open and close (hide / reveal) the fenced areas as needed so as to free up more monitor area.

Fully agree.

It's a real nuisance that items auto-arrange so tightly in a Fence, thus causing labels of other items (above or below them) to be hidden/overlap onto other icons. See screenshot below.

Maybe part of the issue re: fence w/in a fence could be addressed by a left/right margin setting. That is, an icon's left and right margin could be a setting. Global to a fence and global to all Fences. Not individual icons.

"Designed to match Windows 10 and Windows 11 themes"; please provide additional info on what this means as Fences 3 works perfectly OK with Win 10 and Win 11, as far as I can tell. Is the new PEEK function worth paying for the "upgrade"?

It is more designed to have rounded corners to go with windows 11 design.

Peek is a nice new feature, but I am not sure it is quite enough on its own to justify an upgrade. What may justify an upgrade though is what new features come next and if any of the wish list items get integrated as fences 4 goes through Beta and into full release.

My advise at this point is to try the trial version and see what gets added in those 30 days and go from there.

Fix Fences so that the Adobe Thumbnail Preview displays properly. Instead of a black square with a tiny logo, the icon should show a preview of the PDF.
