how to set direction (upwards or downwards) of roll 'down' inV5. Right now it's a mix

Just installed Fences 5. I keep rolled up fences at the top of mydesktop and some open 'up' so that the contents are hidden. In V4 all of them opened below the fence title. How to fix?

I'm runing the latest version of Windows 10, (KB5032339). Don't know how to take a vieo  of me opening the fences nor how  to check the resoltion or scale of my monitor.  Problem is pretty self explanatory: they  all rolled down in V4 and now some roll down and some up - If you don't have a fix I'll just cancel my order and revert to previous version of fences. I don't have the time to participate in a troubleshooting exercise with you.

In Fences 4 as far as I know the can roll up or roll down depands where your Fences is. If you push the Fences close to top border the Fences title will move down and if you move away from the top screen border the Fences title will revert back to normal. I am surprise that you never see this behavior in Fences 4.  That is why I wanted to see a video from you so that I can understand what was you referring when you said "down word and up word".

Below is a video of Fences 4 where you can see the Fences move up or down depands on the position of the fences.

Is this what you're referring or totally something else?

Thank you,

That's exactly how it works with V4 and with almost all windows.  My issue in V5 is that  although all the fences ae sitting at the top of the desktop, some of them (but not all) now open upwards so that the list of programs is occluded by the edge of  the screen. Their position is the same as they were in v4 where all the fences rolled open downwards as I expected. At this point, the only solution I have is to move them down to the bottom of the screen so that when they roll open upwards I can see the contents.

Do you understand now?

Great, so you know how it was before. Please check you setting on Fences 5 : Rollup.
