From here on it’s really depend on how you would like to customize your desktop, if you have many icons and folders it would be nice to start “Sort out my icons” other wise you can start drag and drop your folders and icons into the 2 empty fences that it created for you.

Fences also comes with few build-in presets that would allow you to adjust and change the fences on your desktop easily.

If you wish to hide all the fences, just double click (left) any empty space on your Desktop and Fences will automatically animate out all your fences and show your desktop immediately. Double click again to bring up your desktop.

    It’s just prettier and it has transparency.
    I guess it was due for a comeback anyway.
