Is there a way to have fences roll down on top of other windows?

If not there should be.

I'm using Fences 3. I have several windows open covering most of my screen. I have fences rolled up at the top of the screen so when I hover over one it opens but I can't see its contents because it opens under the other windows. I can't see content in the Fence. So, I have to minimize the other window to get what I need from the Fence. It should appear on top of all windows when I hover over it.

ObjectDock does what you want. I would download the trial and give it a spin.

Are you saying I should use ObjectDock instead of Fences? Or in combination with it. I looked at some YouTube tutorials and reviews and didn't really see how it relates to Fences.

I really don't see a need for a fancy Mac-like docking software. I'm fine with my Taskbar. It seems very obvious to me that Fences should have an option (checkbox) to toggle off or on whether you want the fence to open above all windows or not. That should be a standard feature. I shouldn't have to add another program for that one "feature".

With that being said, I really like Fences but this really is an irritation that just shouldn't be.

Fences was designed from the very start to be on the desktop layer and not above any window. I will take your comments back to the dev team for further consideration though.
