Single-Click Option for Fences 4

from Stardock Forums

Is there a way to launch an application in Fences 4 by single-clicking on its icon?   Note:  I know I can change the overall handling in Windows 11 (and Windows 10 too, I think) to launch with single-clicks instead of selecting with single-click/launching with double-click but that also changes how File Manager works and I don't want that.   I haven't seen an option in Fences configuration ... and if it's not currently available is there a possibility of getting an option to allow it?

Not so much issues as a feature I would like to see.   Primarily because I was really used to having the layout options that  Windows 10 Start allowed (which uses a single-click to launch stuff) and also allowed me to keep my desktop free of clutter.   And Fences comes real close to providing most of that functionality (especially with being able to double-click on the desktop to hide the Fences ... which is great).  But, the one thing I miss after upgrading to Windows 11 (and using Fences) is the single-click launch ability (since a lot of the layout/grouping functionality of Windows Start is gone, or has changed enough that it's not nearly as convenient/useful in my opinion).   Thanks for forwarding.  I've been a Windows Developer since the mid 80s, so I'm very certain it can be done, I just hope they will.
