Icon Organizing anyone?
sneak preview from the lab...
Monday, July 9, 2007 by Dr W - Fences Support | Discussion: OS Customization
Sneak preview of a potential new technology for the desktop that's brewing - Icon Organizing. Create areas on the desktop that apply a customizable graphic effect to the background, resize/move the areas and have the icons go with them, icons can auto-arrange independently within the areas... can choose a specific area for new icons to go to automatically, fold up areas, show a 'details' explorer view of a subfolder as a desktop area...etc etc.
What do you think!

Latest update, just to show a tiny gleem of life:
"JMB1984: I added scrolling for when the little areas overflow 
Scrolling areas on your desktop...so now you can jam it with even more garbage than EVAR"
Side note, man does actually playing out this concept have wayy more complications than one may have thought from just looking at it. But, that doesn't stop me from using it every day. (Muahahaha
) It will reach a shareable point one day I promise

Add a hotkey or hotspot to hide a specific or all groups and you're set. Of course, at that point it's almost a . . . dockMy thoughts also, I guess if you don't like ObjectDock this would be good for you. If you don't like OD though, where are you located...I'll send a couple gorillas over there...

There are people who don't like Object Dock? Lucky they're still alive.

So not ready to do any announcing/previewing today, however, i DID notice that today happens to be the one-year anniversary of this thread 
So in honor, I'll at least leak a tiny touch of details on our new product, "Desktop Fences" Available as a private-invite beta in the next month or so, Fences will work on XP and Vista (compatible with both x86 and x64 on Vista). Hoping to get the website up and running in the next few weeks in order to commence the mouth-watering Oh and, since I happen to know the developer of ObjectDock personally....ObjectDock Plus is going to get an update as well, to snap in with Fences.
cya!

Ah, so you 2 bin collaborating behind our backs again!
Seriously, tho... this Desktop Fences project sounds great - the fact that it'll "snap in" with OD is fantastic - can't wait.

vStyler: like a folder, but whose icons are readily available for use. if you have vista, this program may even allow you to have the contents of a folder show up on the desktop in one of those areas in icon or detailsview however you wish...you can then easily minimize it back or fold it up/etc. Quick access is the keyword
