Why no option for fences to the left- and right side of the screen?

from Stardock Forums

I love the ability to hide fences at the upper- and lower edge of the screen, however there is no option to have fences hide at the left- or right side of the screen.

Will that option ever be added?

Yes, I upgraded to Fences 4 a few days ago. I was hoping to see this option in Fences 4, unfortunately we'll have to wait for the developers to add this function -- I am, at least, hoping that it's a future addition to Fences. :)

unfortunately i am having a more serious issue. On my windows 11 machine, Fences 4 causes my windows explorer to lag and crashes when working on folders/files or navigating folders. Even though i have a beefy system (i7-10870H, RTX 3080 & 32gb ddr4 ram running on nvme ssd)

i have opened a support post, hopefully it gets resolved

Thank you. I really hope this feature will be added, I was surprised to discover it wasn't a feature to begin with. :)

I wanted this too ever since the first time I tried Fences years back (which I didn't end up using due to it being not convenient on my old setup). Now it's prefect for me I just wish I could have roll up fences on the sides of the screen..

Add my vote for this as well, especially with windows moving away from left/right docking of start menu, Fences is becoming more and more a way to overcome terrible deficiencies in Windows itself in addition to a great way to organize.
