Transparent Fence but Visible Icons?

December 7, 2024 4:15:27 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Hello!

I only saw one post on this from quite a few years back.

I'd love the ability to make any individual fence transparent BUT keep the icons visible.

I want to see my icons in groups and be able to move them in groups, but I'd prefer to not have the background in some cases.

Thanks!

Nancy Ü

You can do this by selecting a group from the per-group-customization dropdown and then dragging the transparency slider to zero

This is in the main customization pane in settings. You can also access this UI from the "Edit color..." dropdown, depending which version you are running

Hope this helps!

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. I assume you on latest Fences 5, yes? Try these steps.

Thank you.

I'm embarrassed to say how long I tried figure that out in settings, help file and Googling. 🫤 

The video is a big help! 

Many thanks!

UPDATE: Blur background had to be unchecked for it to be zero opacity. That's what I missed!

I have no idea how I missed that. I even searched the help file. Appreciate the screenshot. 

UPDATE: after following the info I still had a slight background. Ends up, it was the "blur background"  under "more options" that was causing it! Weird. But it's working now!

I followed the video but still had a slight background.  I clicked on "more options" and realized  "blur background" was checked by default. This caused the fences to still show a slight background. Unchecked it and fixed!
