Lifehacker on the Story of Stardock Fences
Wednesday, April 1, 2015 by Island Dog | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Lifehacker has a great article up about the story behind Stardock Fences, which has become one of our most popular apps.
“You might not realize you need Fences until you use it. It’s such a simple app that helps you organize your desktop icons into separate spaces—yes, fencing off different categories to organize your clutter.
Fences was developed by Jeff Bargmann, a life long app developer who needed a way to organize his desktop back in high school. The idea stuck, and years later became fully fledged Windows application distributed by Stardock. And so my messy desktop was changed forever.We spoke with Jeff to learn about its development, distribution, and the story behind the app.”

And don't forget Jeff's other simple but awesome app - Bins. (I know not a Stardock product, but they're very supportive of Jeff).

I think Fences is a terrific program, but it really is an updated/modernized version of Windows 3.11 windows, and I purchased it because I missed being able to organize my desktop that way.
