The update is rolling out now but you can download it now from your Stardock account page or from within the Fences 6 configuration panel under the About section.[/p][p]New in this release, there is a new option to require a click to open a Fence group that is rolled up rather than moving your mouse over the area. And as a happy middle ground, there is also a new option that will not open up the Fence group unless you pause your mouse briefly over the Fence group to avoid accidently expanding a Fence group as you move your mouse around the desktop.[/p][p]When it comes to placing a Fence group on the desktop, there is a new intelligent placement mechanics for keeping spacing consistent around Fence groups and at the edge of the displays.[/p][p]Along the enhancements, there are additional bug fixes that have been reported by the community that has helped shape this release. If you haven’t joined the conversation yet, make sure to let us know what features you would like to see added next as many of our updates are designed as direct results of your feedback.[/p][p]Fences is more than a simple desktop organizational tool. While it is the easiest way to organize your icons, apps, and documents, when you use Folder Portals™ to move files between devices or create workflows to share documents with SharePoint/OneDrive/Dropbox, you unlock an entirely new experience for managing your content.[/p][p]Fences 6 introduced many new features, including tabs. With multiple tab styles and a natural flow for how to add and remove tabs – this has been the biggest upgrade to the desktop in years.[/p][p][/p][p][/p]

And with the ability to dynamically add, remove, and apply color to a tab, Fences 6 continues to raise the bar as the best desktop organizational tool for Windows. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Also new in Fences 6 is the ability to apply a color tint to the icons on your desktop.
