Stardock Announces Fences 4 with new features, a Refreshed Interface and Support for Windows 11Fences 4 offers an array of customizations to keep PC desktops clean and organizedGet into the alpha now (available exclusively through Object Desktop)
Stardock announced Fences 4, a program that allows users to automatically organize shortcuts and icons on their PC desktops into custom-sized spaces called fences. As with previous editions of the software, Fences 4 creates dedicated areas to organize icons and folders and offers additional customization features that has made it popular with millions of users of Microsoft Windows®.
"Fences 4 is being designed to meet the needs of today's PC user," said Brad Wardell, CEO of Stardock. "Fences has always been a great way to show a clean desktop or to organize it and now we are adding features that allow users who want a minimalistic desktop to have that while also supporting users who use the desktop as a natural extension of their work space."
Stardock has released an alpha version of Fences 4 for Windows 10 and 11 to users of its Object Desktop suite. New features will be added to it throughout the fall with a targeted release later this winter.
Upcoming features for Fences 4 include virtual desktop support, enhanced search functionality, roaming profiles, and many other updates that will help home and business users stay organized.
Additionally, Stardock has announced Fences for Business, which will help keep PCs organized and standardized across the workforce. A new kiosk mode will help administrators lock their entire desktop layout, while the Snapshots feature will allow them to replicate layouts across multiple devices.
The Fences 4 alpha is available exclusively through the Object Desktop™ suite. For more information, visit the Fences 4 website here.
3 issue so far.
1. The fences window isn't optimized for dark mode windows (writing isn't white. you barely read the text)
2. The fences turn the same color as the background (sometimes on rearrangement)
3. The fences (on mouseover) rise up just a tiny bit. Not much but enough to annoy me ...
I don't know if this rise is dependent on links within the fence or how to reproduce as it seems random atm to some fences created.
I also wouldn't mind being able to round of those corners a little bit more, have a visual grid to align fences to and have the ability to have fences open from left to right and vice versa with the naming of the fence going from top to bottom

Hello,
I updated and went through the menu, I can not find any new features - I am likely overlooking something. I know more features will come as we near the end of the year, but what were the changes that version 4 launched with? (the ui does look nice)
There are many great features available to you once you register, including:
