With a name like that, one might expect this company to release space-based games.  Strangely, they actually do have several such titles, like Star Control, Galactic Civilization, Sins of a Solar Empire and Offworld Trading Company (to name a few).  They also publish other games, like Demigod and Fallen Enchanters.  Weirdly, that&#8217;s only half of their story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to their games, Stardock is also known for their small to medium scope Windows utility applications. They have utilities that extend icon packs, keyboard macros, window drop-shadows, PDF editor, start menu alternative, etc.  For the size of this small company ($16M yearly revenue), that is a lot of ground to cover.   Funny enough, I&#8217;ve actually purchased both utilities and games from Stardock without realizing they are from the same company.  One utility that I use extensively is Fences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Organizing your Windows desktop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thirty years ago (even before Stardock was founded), Windows was a very different critter.  You would actually use windows within Windows to group your applications and list your documents for easy access and launching.  In other words, you could actually organize your computer&#8217;s desktop without hunting through a Start Menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fences (current version is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stardock.com\/products\/\">Fences 4.0<\/a>) brings back the functionality of windows in Windows.  However, instead of calling this visual organization by the name of &#8220;windows&#8221;, Fences calls them &#8220;fences&#8221;.  Fences functions in modern Windows as though the old-school organization capability was never removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only can you group related applications, links and documents together, you can also create an expanded desktop with &#8220;desktop pages&#8221;, create collapsible fences, include &#8220;folder portals&#8221; and set automatic placement for new icons with &#8220;type-based rules&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/fences_desktopani-720x405.gif?resize=720%2C405&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Fences allows you to organize your Windows desktop\" class=\"wp-image-6205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/fences_desktopani.gif?resize=720%2C405 720w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/fences_desktopani.gif?resize=300%2C169 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/fences_desktopani.gif?resize=768%2C432 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/fences_desktopani.gif?resize=1536%2C864 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/fences_desktopani.gif?resize=1200%2C675 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/fences_desktopani.gif?w=1680 1680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I &#8220;borrowed&#8221; these images (above and below) from Stardock&#8217;s website because they do a great job at demonstrating the tool&#8217;s function.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/2023-09-21_23-50-09-720x405.jpg?resize=720%2C405&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/2023-09-21_23-50-09.jpg?resize=720%2C405 720w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/2023-09-21_23-50-09.jpg?resize=300%2C169 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/2023-09-21_23-50-09.jpg?resize=768%2C431 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/2023-09-21_23-50-09.jpg?resize=1536%2C863 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/2023-09-21_23-50-09.jpg?resize=1200%2C674 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/2023-09-21_23-50-09.jpg?w=1876 1876w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/2023-09-21_23-50-09.jpg?w=1680 1680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I personally use Fences on my own computer to organize music, music applications, utilities, games, social media, photo editing, video editing, etc.  This allows me to quickly find specific applications, links and documents by topic.

For the first 8 years of my career, I was an AutoCAD professional. I utilized AutoLISP and many other AutoCAD customization features to streamline drafting activities for 6+ drafters and designers. I authored several custom functions, one of which was published in the March 1997 issue of Cadalyst Magazine. Since 1998, I've been used SolidWorks non-stop. I've worked to utilize the SolidWorks' user environment to simplify drafting and design activities for 20+ engineers. I've created this website to provide current information about SolidWorks from a variety of contributors. More recently, I am now employed by Dassault Systemes as SOLIDWORKS Sr. Product Definition Manager to improve drawing, annotation and MBD related areas.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog","https:\/\/x.com\/swsuper"],"url":"http:\/\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/?author=2"}]}},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/fences_desktopani.gif?fit=1920%2C1080","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6204","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6204"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6204\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6220,"href":"http:\/\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6204\/revisions\/6220"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/6205"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6204"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6204"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6204"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fseries&post=6204"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
