- Add a Comment
Fences works by allowing users to “draw” labeled shaded areas on the desktop, which become movable & resizable containers for any desktop icon. 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. Fences also helps users finally appreciate the wallpaper hiding behind a cluttered desktop.
In addition to its organizing features, Fences offers a quick-hide feature: Double click your desktop, and all your icons will fade out. Double click again, and they’ll return.

Fences is like a trip on the wayback machine, to 1993, and Windows 3.1, but then it is perfect as a complement to Windows 7, also an anachronistic idea from the past.
As for Fences, if you don’t believe, or weren’t around for it, Windows 3.1 did almost exactly the same thing by design - so Fences is hardly breaking new ground.
