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.
