Lost functionality

from Stardock Forums

I have just upgraded from Fences 3
I loved the way that I could use Fence groups to cover the two desktop.ini files that show up when you turn on "Show Hidden Files and Folders"
This now appears to be lost, unless I'm missing something. The desktop.ini files just get chased around as I move the group trying to cover it.
This is the one feature that I really loved, and now, with an update, it is lost.
Any ideas?

Or do I unload the new version and go back to 3?

Hi Steve, unfortunately this is gone — it wasn’t by design, and we added ability to ensure icons weren’t getting lost underneath, which was a problem for many.

This is a good idea though for adding ability to remove these specific icons from the desktop. We’ve forwarded it to the dev team. In the mean time you can create a group, place those in it, and set that group’s resting opacity to 0% to have it be hidden, or put them on an alternate page, where likewise they’ll be hidden unless you move to that page. Hope this helps

Thanks for the quick response!
That is exactly what I had done after playing around a bit after I posted.
It is a good option.... almost better in some ways.
cheers
