Stardock released Fences® 6 today – a major update to its popular Windows desktop organization software with over 20 million downloads. Fences is the easiest way to organize your desktop workflow by neatly organizing apps, files, and icons on the desktop.
Fences 6 introduces tabs, a feature that allows you to place multiple fence groups together in a tabbed experience for a modern layout. And with the ability to dynamically add, remove, and apply color to a tab, Fences 6 continues to raise the bar as the best desktop organizational tool for Windows.

Also new in Fences 6 is the ability to apply a color tint (here is a partial tint example) to all the icons on your desktop. This simple but innovative feature allows you to apply a color expression for all your desktop icons to create a stylistic and distraction-free layout or to help any individual Fence stand out. And combined with many of the quality-of-life updates like improved navigation for Folder Portals™, Fences 6 is another significant step forward for functionality and personalization.
Fences is used by thousands of businesses, from healthcare to law offices and finance organizations. To help these businesses deploy organized dashboards of desktop icons, Fences 6 for Business adds advanced tooling to create templated deployments with multiple configurations ready out of the box. And with Stardock also offering customized deployment configurations with each enterprise rollout, Fences 6 is the most configurable, deployable, and scalable version of Fences ever.

Top New Features in Fences 6:
- Tabs let you stack a fence on-top of each other for a modern workflow.
- Icon tint allows you to apply a color expression to all of your desktop icons to personalize your desktop and reduce distractions.
- A new color picker tool makes it easy to pick the perfect color a Fence group or icon tint color.
- Folder Portal navigation has been overhauled to provide a more natural workflow.
- Full Arm support means that Fences 6 is ready for the newest generation of devices powered by ARM CPUs.
- And many quality-of-life improvements like the ability to apply color to a tab for easy recognition, updates to quick hide, and a lot more.
