I just installed Fences 6 Beta 1 on Windows 11 Pro, 24H2, OS Build 26100.3476

Windows Experience Pack 1000.26100.54.0

NVIDIA RTX A4000, Driver = 572.60

I rebooted the PC as instructed.

Using the default Fences RMB option, there is no option to "Create Fence"

The option to "Configure Fences" is available. I have tried the LMB as the creation option, but "Create Fence" option still not available.

I hope a solution is available soon or will re-install Fences 5 next week.

Looking forward to using Tabs.

The tabs work for me with "Switch tabs on mouseover" enabled in Tabs settings & "Rollup fence" checked when right click on fence and then view. After I have applied these settings, I "lock fences", but from some forum posts, I'm not sure if that option is available for everyone.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Please check if you have not locked your Fences while you on previous version. If you do have it locked, please unlocked it. If the locked Fences don't appear on your desktop right click menu->Show more options->View menu. Please use this guide to turn it on. https://support.stardock.com/space/SHC/1621360668/Show+%22Lock+Fences%22+in+Fences+5

Thank you,

I do like the "Switch tabs on mouseover" option

I understand that the speed of which tabs are switched was made with care against accidentally hitting tabs which is good.

Still, I think I would like to see the speed increased for switching tabs. Not a lot, something like a 25 percent increase to still preserve against accidental tab switching but also increase productivity speed a little
