Remember the trick of double-clicking the desktop to hide your fences? You can configure any or all of your fences to not hide when that event occurs. If you decide to restore the snapshot, a new window will open and ask if you want to take a new snapshot of the current desktop or if you just want to restore the snapshot you clicked on.įigure G Make sure you have a snapshot of your current desktop if you are planning on restoring. You can also retake a snapshot from this window. From that window you can restore, delete, or rename that particular snapshot. An image of that snapshot will open, as shown in Figure G. When you want to restore a snapshot, just click on the image of the snapshot to restore it. With this feature you can create numerous backups that apply to different jobs and apply that particular snapshot when needed.įigure F You can store as many backups as you like. You can then restore from any of the saved backups. This allows you to take snapshots of your fences desktop at any time. This tab is quite useful because it contains a backup/restore feature. The final tab that actually contains configuration options is the Tools tab ( Figure F). In the Customized tab ( Figure E), you can change when you show the labels, what the color/transparency of the fences and the label text are, whether to outline the fences, and whether to fade out scrollbars when active.įigure E If you don't want to categorize your fences, remove the label. Once you create the new fence, you will notice the dropdown menu reflects the new number of fences you have created. To create a new fence on your desktop, you have to right-click and drag. You will notice in this tab you cannot create new fences, so you can choose only layouts that apply to the number of fences you have.
From the dropdown menu you can select a number of layouts. The first tab, Fences, allows you to change the layout of your current fences. From the configuration window ( Figure D), there are three configuration tabs: Fences, Customize, and Tools.įigure D There isn't an incredible amount of configuration, but what options you do have really can help your productivity. To get to the configuration screen, you can either double-click the Customize Fences icon or right-click the desktop and select Edit Fences. Now that you have named your fence, you can drag and drop the appropriate icons into that fence, as shown in Figure C.įigure C All icons are in place. In my case, I want to name one fence "Productivity" and the other "Utilities." Right-click the name of the fence to open up the Fence properties menu ( Figure B).įigure B This menu simply adds a few entries to regular desktop properties menu. One of the first things you can do is rename each fence. Figure A shows a predefined set of fences with nothing more than two fences and the Customize Fences icon.įigure A As you can see, there are two fences created in this layout. Once the application is installed, you will see some empty fences, although one fence most likely will have the Customize Fences icon. Choose the one that best suits your needs to complete the installation. If you click the predefined method, you will then be given a few possible layout choices. The only step that might be out of the ordinary is at the end of the installation, where you will be asked if you want to choose a predefined layout or create your own fences.
