2 Changes on Fences 6 that I can Fix, but are Illogical

(1) Your icons go to 1 colour, when you change the fence background colour & (2) How to send your New Icons to a Fence for new icons

(1)  Changing the Colour of your Fence Backgrounds while still maintaining the original colour of your icons:

 In the latest Fences, which I think is 6, when you right-click on desktop to go to:  *Configure Fences* and then select *Personalisation*, you then need to select the Fence Group from the dropdown list of All groups.  Unlike previous versions of Fences, where it was more logical, as soon as you start changing the background colour of your fence, your icons turn to a single colour of the same background colour. 

TO FIX THIS:  Under the heading "Tint Icons" fences adds a tick here when you start changing the background Fence colour.  Untick "Tint Icons" and your icons will return to regular multi-colour, or their original colour.  This change is so stupid, its ridiculous!

PS Stardock Icon Developer is great for making icons, along with the help of Snagit, because unlike Snipit, Snagit gives you a perfect square when holding down the shift key, which is required for an icon.

(2)   Automatically Sending New Icons to a Fence Created for New Icons (in Fences 6):

Ignore all the posts on the internet on how to send new icons to a Fence for new icons, because all the instructions are incorrect, (unless you are on an older verison of Fences 6).  The new instructions are below.

TO FIX THIS:   In Fences 6, you have to click on *Rules* found on the left sidebar.  Next, at the very top, you will see the heading *By default...*  You will see *All new icons go to New icons*, then click on the 2nd hyperlink, which is *New Icons*, which takes you to a dropdown list, where you select your already created Fence with the name *New Icons* or whatever you called your fence.
