Fences 6 Tabs

TabGroups never appear

from Stardock Forums

Hi, I am having trouble getting tabs/tab groups to work. When i drag a fence onto another fence i have the option to create a tab group. But after doing so the tabs are always on top of each other. I've tried selecting move tab to left. I never seem to get ant tabs side by side.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need more details.

  1. Windows 11 full version and OS Build number. Please use Winver.exe to get these number.
  2. Fences full version number installed.
  3. Did you reboot your system right after Fences installed? If you not, please make sure to reboot and retest.
  4. Post screenshots showing us your issue. This will help us understand your actual issue.

Thank you,

No tabs side by side just grouped on top of each other

 

Selecting move tab to left does nothing

I captured a mini video clip which probably shows more detail but could not find a way to attach or send in the forum.

For the video, if a small Gif file, below 5Mb you can use insert image button. If you upload to youtube you can put its link by using the Youtube button (icon) or you can post to any video sharing site and post its link here. Just make sure to set to public.

Also perhaps try these setting. You probably set to Menu only, hence you can only change tab via the menu.. try those other 3 option.

Thank you,

Sorry for the late reply, and thank you for your help, it worked.

Indeed in settings my tabs were set to "Menu" mode which i would find useful if the tab list dropped down/visible by just clicking the hamburger/menu bar. Currently i have to click MENU, TABS & then the selected tab (3 clicks !)

Great support and thank you
