Fences - organize your desktop

Fences - organize your desktop

From the company, Stardock, known primarily for the extremely popular program WindowBlinds, comes  Fences, according to the manufacturer, the ultimate software tool for organizing your desktop.

After the usual installation, you will immediately have the option to edit your desktop, by selecting "Start using Fences!" Item, in which case you will be able to select one of the predefined templates, or create your own layout as desired.

By default, you will have six zones available, for quick links, recently opened items, programs, files, folders, and web links. Of course, individual zones can be easily renamed or removed, and in case you are short of the six areas mentioned, there is also the possibility of creating new ones.

You can change the appearance of the zones, the amount of transparency, the intensity and saturation of the colors, as well as when the labels on the "fences" will be displayed. The "Tools" section offers useful "snapshot" functionality, using which you can save the current state, and then easily restore it, in case you are not satisfied with the changes made. Also, double-clicking on an empty part of the desktop by default hides all the icons, which is a behavior you can change in this part, in case it doesn't suit you.

To click on the post or not?

Recently, Facebook has been flooded with " click bait " posts, and sometimes you don't know if there is something really useful behind that post or if it's just collecting clicks. There is a plugin that can partially reveal this to you. Nothing special, it's a Chrome extension called " Photo Zoom ". What does he actually do? Enlarges the image you hover over by loading the source address of the image . How can it help? Clickbait posts often "trick" users into clicking with an image (in addition to terrible headlines). They place those pictures so that only a part of them is visible on the Facebook wall and just enough to interest your potential.
