Keyboard command to "bring fence to top"

from Stardock Forums

Is there a keyboard command to "bring all fences to top" of the windows Z order?

And then hopefully another command to "send them to the back"

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. No, there is no such keyboard command.

Thanks

The closest you will get to such a command is Windows key + D [show desktop], as that is where the Fences are..... the same level [z-order] as the Icons.

A Fence is not a Window ...;)

ya it's a bummer.

Windows key + D alters the windows in a weird way -- such that you cannot adequately restore your UI

It'd be a really nice feature if i could somehow "bring up" my desktop, then click something, then have my desktop fade to the back again.

The problem is with 'click-through', particularly an issue with icons that launch 'stuff'.  Can you imagine working on a literary 'work-of-art' "on top" and inadvertently click on a 'delete all' icon [or similar] that you weren't expecting to be there...;)

ideally it'd be like Launchy

e.g. you press ALT + SPACE and a "reveal" of your desktop icons would momentarily appear.

This way, you could launch icons from your desktop without effecting your workflow.

You can almost do this with WIN + D. But it never restores the same.
