Solved Stardock Fences 6 Beta release


Stardock is currently down so I will update this thread later:

Once again in as little as a year and a half, Stardock has released another version of Fences (6) that they are wanting perpetual Licence holders to pay for again.
Some may find this worth it, especially due to the Managed Deployment aspect.

Also, I might even be happy to pay, due to the inclusion of TABS


Stardock released its first Fences® 6 beta today – a major update to its popular Windows desktop organization software with over 20 million downloads. Fences is the easiest way to organize your desktop workflow by neatly organizing apps, files, and icons on the desktop.

Fences 6 introduces tabs, a feature that allows you to place multiple fence groups together in a tabbed experience for a modern layout. And with the ability to dynamically add and remove tabs, Fences 6 continues to elevate the bar as the best desktop organizational tool for Windows.

Also new in Fences 6 is the ability to apply a color tint to all the icons on your desktop. This simple but innovative feature allows you to apply a single hue to all your desktop icons to create a distraction-free layout or to help any individual Fence stand out. And when combined with many of the quality-of-life updates like improved navigation for Folder Portals™, Fences 6 is another big step forward for functionality and personalization.

Fences is used by thousands of businesses every day, from healthcare to law offices and finance organizations. To help these businesses deploy organized dashboards of desktop icons, Fences 6 for Business adds additional tooling to create templated deployments with multiple configurations ready out of the box. And with Stardock also offering customized deployment configurations with each enterprise rollout, Fences 6 is the most configurable, deployable, and scalable version of Fences, ever.

"Fences 6 is our biggest leap forward for the productivity tool," said Brad Sams, General Manager of Stardock Software. "Fences is widely recognized as the best way to organize your desktop and with the new features in Fences 6, it is now the best tool for managing not only your desktop but every desktop within your organization."

Some changes and improvements include:

  • Tabs and partial icon tint
  • Tabs and full icon tint with docked Fence groups
  • Corporate layout
  • Personalization options and color selection tool
  • Managed Deployment configuration panel

Been running v6 for a few days now on 23H2 and it works fine. I've had zero issues.
