Fences is seriously great.

Hmmm, it's great, but between objectdock and impluse dock (or whatever it's called).  My desktop is already nice and tidy :/

I have a hypotheitcal wad of money set aside for when you start charging for Fences. It's a bigger wad than I care to think about. Economic collapse of the western world > what's fair to charge for fences > death taxes

 

ssshhhh, we can beat them...

Looks kewl, but is there a version for XP Pro? And what about Windows 7, when that comes out? Gotta think about these things...

Does it work with xp? I don't like vista, Windows 7 is better

It works in both XP and Win7 

Someone mentioned he tried Fences on Win7 and it worked. However Windows 7 is not yet completed and M$ may add some new features that make some aplication not to be functional.

I'm more or less ready to pay a small license fee for the grownup version. Windows is 'too helpful' about file management these days, and Fences helps make the Desktop location useful to me. Plus, it seems like the first decent advance on the desktop metaphor via Windows since the original Mac.

My only complaint is that the app seems to force a button for my username folder onto the Vista taskbar (I suspect this is related to using the Desktop toolbar, which I normally keep minimized to just the >> icon).

I've been using Fences for around a month though, and it is great, but not just for organizing; which was never a problem for me. When I play some games, they will periodically change my resolution just long enough to reset all my carefully placed icons, scrambling everything and messing up my order. With fences, they all stay in their little fences when that happens, and go back to their original places in the fences when the resolution goes back to my preference. This is software that I would pay for, thank you Stardock for making it free as well

The question of whether it works with Windows 7, was graciously answered by the screenshots! It's not Vista you're looking at..

Yes, it works with XP Pro. Unfortunately, there is a conflict between Fences and DeskScapes on XP. If you enable DeskScapes, then even though Fences is still running, all the icons appear, just as if Fences is not running. Anyone know if Stardock developers are working on this, or if we're just stuck with choosing one or the other on XP?

I would suggest posting this problem in the Fences section of the forum. They're continually working on fixing all the bugs and errors and I'm sure they'd appreciate any help they can get. You can't solve a problem that you don't know about, now can you? I personally love how Fences allows me to keep all the files I want to work with and have easy access to right on my desktop and then hide them when I don't want to be looking at a cluttered desktop. Fences looks right at home in Windows 7. Nice.

Hi, wonderful wallpaper. Where can I find it? Very grateful if someone help me in finding such a desktop.

I am going to have to do this when i am not busy later . Looks nice!

 

Thx for the guide

Fences is awesome! I like that I can put my games and utilities in seperate areas and then hide most of them, until I need them. I had object dock too but it either got in the way or I forgot it was there Now that my friend has his system running again I'm going to put fences on his machine. And I would pay for it. That makes it that much better for free!!!
