In depth

A closer look at Fences

Fences is a program that helps you organize your desktop, and can hide your icons when they're not in use. A "Fence", a term coined by this program, is an icon group on your desktop. Fences is an add-on to your desktop, not a replacement.
  • Rope off your desktop
    Fences allows you to make shaded areas on your desktop that you can place icons in. You can label them however you wish, and move/resize them anywhere on the desktop. Pre-included layouts help speed the process for new users.
  • See your wallpaper again! Quickly hide & show all your icons with an easy double-click
    Double click blank space on your desktop, and all your icons will fade out. We think this feature is so useful and unique, that we ‚ „¢ve applied for a patent on it. You can even pick icons and individual Fences to exclude!

No longer free since v2.00
