Question about layering

Stupid Question?

from WinCustomize Forums

I am using Fences 3.1 for the first time. I am going to ask what is probably a dumb question. I want to put rolled-up category Fences (Utilities, Browsers, Music, Videos, etc.) along the top of my desktop so that the menu unrolls when I put my cursor over the title. This is my problem - I use the great Rainmeter theme "Glasses" by Vstyler and that takes up a great deal of my screen space. When I unroll the fences they come up behind this theme and makes them unreadable. Is there any easy way to change it so that Fences will roll down ON TOP of other desktop items? I understand this may not be possible with Windows 10 but I thought I would ask anyway. Otherwise I can't use Fences which severely bums me out.

I'll look into it but I'm not hopeful.Can the Rainmeter be set to a lower z-order?

yeah - Rainmeter is set to lowest Z - order (desktop) - tried all kinds of adjustments on Rainmeter - no matter what it is above Fences - probably just can't be done - incidentally it is the same way with Rainlender calendar - Fences is always underneath - went back to using Object Dock which I also really like although it appears to have been abandoned as far as updates.
