A messed desktop with full of icons is not only ugly but unproductive as well. Sorting these icons is another headache. To tackle this issue Stardock has come-up with an application called Fences, which arranges icons into groups. With Stardock Fences, you can group your desktop icons into shaded blocks or fences and label them. For instance, you can create a Game Fence and add all your game shortcuts into it. This makes your desktop look neat and productive.
Once installed, you can either choose a layout or create your own fence. Once your create fences, adding icons is as easy and drag and drop. You can relocate a fence by just dragging it over to a new place or resize it by holding the outer edge and dragging.
It also takes snapshots of your desktop to give you the before-after view and adds the ability to restore your desktop. The default color of the fences is grey, but it can be customized to any color and you can also change the transparency to make your desktop look neater.
Overall, I think this is a bright idea and this is something I’d like to see running in windows out-of-the-box. You can download Fences for free from here (6.35MB).
