Fences is a desktop management software that allows you to group your desktop icons into "fences".<br>
|
||||
These fences can be rolled up so they are tucked away neatly into a corner, allowing you to view<br>
|
||||
your desktop wallpaper while still being able to access your shortcuts when you need to.<br>
|
||||
I really like Fences because it keeps my desktop clutter-free and I get to look at my amazing<br>
|
||||
wallpaper (see <a href="#Wallpaper Engine">Wallpaper Engine</a>). I purchased Fences on <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/607380/Fences/" target="_blank">Steam</a>, but you can also get it directly<br>
|
||||
from <a href="https://www.stardock.com/products/fences/" target="_blank">Stardock's website</a>. Would definitely recommend getting it if you have a cluttered desktop.

I wasn't actually interested in Start10 when I first got it. I got it in a <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/3675/Fences__Start10/" target="_blank">bundle</a> with <a href="#Fences">Fences</a>. The gist of<br>
|
||||
Start10 is that it allows you to customize the way your taskbar looks and the style of start menu<br>
|
||||
you would like. The options are Windows 7, Windows 10, or Modern. Windows 7 has the classic<br>
|
||||
searchbar and list of applications. Windows 10 has the list of programs and start menu "tiles"<br>
|
||||
introduced in Windows 10. Modern style is a bit of a hybrid. It has the application list from<br>
|
||||
Windows 7, but the theme looks more like Windows 10. I personally prefer Windows 10 style because<br>
|
||||
of the "tiles" that easily let you launch your favorite apps. I wouldn't necessarily recommend<br>
|
||||
getting Start10 on its own as I don't see much value in it, but it is a nice addition if you have<br>
|
||||
ever wanted to change the look of your taskbar or start menu.

Wallpaper Engine is amongst my favorite programs on this list. If you have ever seen live wallpapers on phones<br>
|
||||
and thought "can I get that on my PC?"", this is the program for you. At a regular price of $3.99, I<br>
|
||||
cannot recommend this enough. Fair warning, this will drain your battery and RAM if you plan on running<br>
|
||||
it at its highest settings with animations and other compute heavy settings. I usually run this on my laptop<br>
|
||||
so the wallpaper is static when unplugged, but animated and reactive when plugged in. There are some memory<br>
|
||||
saving options that can pause the program when another program is in full-screen and in-focus to improve <br>
|
||||
battery life and performance.
