fences

fences也被称为栅栏桌面，是著名的Stardock公司推出的一款软件，由该公司的首席技术构架师Jeff Bargmann开发的，用来分类和组织桌面上的图标一款软件。

fences栅栏桌面可以将不同的图标放到不同的“容器”当中，使用者还可以移动和拉伸这个“容器”。这样将图标分类以后，桌面再也不会看起来一团糟了。它还提供了一个有趣的功能：双击桌面，隐藏所有图标；再次双击桌面，显示所有图标。

"Fences", originally "Desktop Icon Organizer", was started in 1999 as a tool to help standardize desktops across PCs, back in the author's high school "web-editors club" computer lab. (Screenshots from / download the 2003 prototype edition) It wasn't until 2007 when the idea was first publically announced and brought for discussion around the web. About a year later the program finally got its chance at a Vista-compatible remake, and in 2008 Stardock proudly announced its new product, "Stardock Fences"!
