Can someone explain how this is better than Object Dock Plus with a tabbed background? I can set it to hide the dock without clicking on anything. At least I can access Object Dock Plus even when I have other applications open in full screen mode. Is it because the fences have a semi-transparent background? That feature is available in a lot of Object Dock backgrounds. With Vista Home Premium, I can use Alt-Tab and select my basic desktop if I want an easy way to hide what I have open.....I sure hope I find some answers or that the final product offers something new and imposssible to resist, or, I'm staying with Object Dock Plus.   
YOu should try fences for yourself.  It's free.

I liek it most for the hide desktop icon feature.  That rocks.

I'm also abusing the "transparency" feature to cast a hue over my desktop wallpaper, without altering the image or how any of my applications look, because, quite frankly, it's cooler that way.

It's not better. It's an excellent addition to it.

Are you guys psychic? LOL

I had been trying something like this manually, using a desktop background that divided my screen up. Needless to say, my clutter outpaced my discipline. Fences came along at a perfect time.

Keep up the great work

Is fences only for cluttered users?

Will neat users not get it?

Ah, I will have to turn cluttered to download it because I am loving this... no ..not that much I love my dreamgirl but still love it..

But If I abandon my tidiness she will elope. Hard choice.. Any suggestions?

 I thought I wouldn't like it until i saw the double click > Hide icons feature.

 

If it hasn't been mentioned anywhere yet, the label fonts need to be customizable, Default font is far too big imo.

 

Otherwise, gotta say, i like it.

An option to exclude context menu entries (Edit and lock fences) would be great too.

I just downloaded it too and I'm enjoying it very much. Makes the desktop look much cleaner and organized.

Still can't get the icons to hide here.  XPP SP2, all the .net updates.  Fences hide fine, just not the icons in them.

Fences is known to have trouble with some other apps hooking into the desktop, some vista, more on XP. Running fences on a dream cause minor problems on vista, and doesn't work at all for people on XP, and I've seen posts about a bunch of other software too. Check the official fences forum for those reports.

Quoting Leauki, reply 8It says it is free for "personal use".

I am an Object Desktop Ultimate current subscriber. Can I use this at work?

(I use a Macintosh at home.)

 You're fine.  Have fun.

Does this apply to those of us who are not yet subscribers? I'd love to use this at work.

Go forth and fence
