Fences

+

Fences

Platform: Windows

+

+ Fences is a desktop management software that allows you to group your desktop icons into "fences".
+ These fences can be rolled up so they are tucked away neatly into a corner, allowing you to view
+ your desktop wallpaper while still being able to access your shortcuts when you need to.
+ I really like Fences because it keeps my desktop clutter-free and I get to look at my amazing
+ wallpaper (see Wallpaper Engine). I purchased Fences on Steam, but you can also get it directly
+ from Stardock's website. Would definitely recommend getting it if you have a cluttered desktop. +

Start10

Platform: Windows

+

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

Wallpaper Engine

+

Wallpaper Engine

Platform: Windows

+

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