This is what Fences can do for you on the desktop

 

Fences is currently one of the top desktop organization tools for Windows users, and parent company Stardock is trying to make it as widely available as possible, so today it’s rolling out the application on Steam.

 

Making Fences available for Steam users is supposed to boost adoption especially among gamers, who could discover the benefits of using a desktop organization program to keep things organized regardless of their Windows version.

 

Stardock says it turned to Steam because other titles that it launched on Valve’s gaming platforms were quite successful, so it makes sense for the company to release Fences here too.

 

“We’re already known for games like the Galactic Civilizations series on Steam,” Stardock CEO Brad Wardell explained today. “Our software has always been sold elsewhere. We think that gamers, streamers, creatives, and the types of people drawn to Steam could really benefit from some of our applications, and that’s why we’re starting with Fences.”

 

Trial version also available

The application will be available for Steam users with a $9.99 price tag, and if you are interested in giving it a try, you can download Fences for Windows from Softpedia to test drive it for 30 days.

 

For those who are unfamiliar with Fences, this is a super-helpful tool that helps users keep things organized on the desktop by creating separate groups of icons that can be moved around and marked individually. There are tons of configuration settings and you can even hide icons on the desktop should you want it to be completely clean.

 

Fences comes with support for Windows 10 and also works on high DPI monitors, while also including some exclusive features for Microsoft’s most recent desktop operating system, such as wallpaper blurring behind fences.

 

Without a doubt, Fences is worth a try, so you can get the trial to discover what it’s up to or watch the video below to see the application in action in Windows.

Very fond of Fences. A great way to organise those gazillion desktop icons, and they can be made to appear or disappear with a simple double-click on the desktop.

 

Also, one of the best ways to get it is by buying the Object desktop bundle, includes lots of other useful modules like Start8 and Start10 and WindowsBlinds, 12 months free upgrades, and each module can be installed on up to 5 devices.

 

But don't pay $49.95, only $19.99 if you click "Get it Now" on one of the modules, and then click "get it Now" again on the individual module, and then click "Upgrade Now" on the popup to accept the upgrade to Object Desktop for only $19.99.

 

Not a Stardock marketer, just a happy customer.

I wouldn't use a computer without fences on it.  It is one of the first software packages I install on every computer I own.  I started using Object Desktop in 2010 but only use a few of the included programs.  As @Karlston said though, at 19.99 it is a steal, though Stardock always offers good upgrade prices for its software.  My fences upgrades were only $4.99 a copy when version 3 came out.
