So, to para­phrase Stardock’s own mar­ket­ing hype, “Fences also helps you final­ly appre­ci­ate half the wall­pa­per you have hid­ing behind all that clutter.”įences also does­n’t use the sec­ondary mon­i­tor for its “fences,” or icon pan­els. Fences does­n’t work with either set­ting. Most mod­ern video cards allow sep­a­rate wall­pa­per to be set per mon­i­tor, and/or a sin­gle, large image to span both. Specifically, Fences sets both mon­i­tors desk­top wall­pa­per to the wall­pa­per applied to the first or pri­ma­ry mon­i­tor. And it’s free!īut, if you do use mul­ti­ple mon­i­tors, Fences takes away more than it gives. Hell, even if you don’t need desk­top orga­ni­za­tion, it cre­ates a stun­ning visu­al effect.

If you use only one mon­i­tor, Fences is a very cool desk­top orga­niz­er. Double click your desk­top, and all your icons will fade out. In addi­tion to its orga­niz­ing fea­tures, Fences offers a nov­el quick-hide fea­ture (in-patenting-process). These groups can help bring orga­ni­za­tion and con­sis­ten­cy to your com­put­er’s desk­top, solv­ing the ‘con­stant mess’ prob­lem that has plagued the desk­top since its inception.įences also helps you final­ly appre­ci­ate the wall­pa­per you have hid­ing behind all that clutter. The Fences page describes the new prod­uct thusly:įences is a one-of-a-kind pro­gram, allow­ing you to draw labeled shad­ed areas on your desk­top, which become mov­able & resiz­able con­tain­ers for your desk­top icons. Unfortunately, like many oth­er Stardock user inter­face and user expe­ri­ence cus­tomiza­tion appli­ca­tions (ObjectBar, ObjectDock, WindowBlinds, DesktopX), Fences does­n’t do mul­ti­ple mon­i­tors well (at all, actually). I was very excit­ed when I saw in my Stardock Impulse appli­ca­tions list a new one- Fences™ Clean up your desk­top clut­ter.
