π Fluid Fences A lightning-fast, modern, and open-source desktop organization utility for Windows.
Tired of a cluttered desktop? Fluid Fences allows you to effortlessly group your shortcuts, files, and folders into sleek, native-looking translucent windows right on your desktop. Built with C# and WPF, it is highly optimized, lightweight, and deeply integrated with Windows 11 design paradigms.
β¨ Key Features ποΈ Advanced Tabbed Workspaces: Don't just make listsβmake categories! Create multiple tabs within a single fence.
π¨ Tear-Off & Merge: Drag a tab onto your desktop to instantly spawn a new fence, or drag a fence into another to merge them!
πͺ Folder Portals: Mirror any existing folder on your hard drive directly to your desktop. Changes made in the portal instantly reflect on your PC.
π§Ή Auto-Organize: Tell Fluid Fences your preferred file extensions (e.g., .jpg, .png), and it will automatically sweep them off your desktop and into your vault.
π¨ Dynamic Customization: Adjust opacity, tint, and icon sizes, or enable Auto-Match to let your fences automatically blend with your current desktop wallpaper.
π§ Zen Mode: Need to focus? Press Ctrl + Alt + Z to instantly hide all fences and enjoy a clean desktop. Press it again to bring them back.
π» Ghost Mode: Enable this in settings to make your fences almost invisible until you hover your mouse over them.
π Roll-up Fences: Double-click the title bar to "roll up" a fence, hiding the icons but keeping the title bar accessible to save space.
π Auto-Updating: Built-in seamless background updating pulls the latest features directly from GitHub Releases.

Mastering Tabs Fluid Fences features a powerful tabbed engine to keep massive amounts of files organized in a small footprint.
Create a Tab: Right-click the header of any fence and select "New Tab Inside This Fence" (or click the + button).

Tear-Off: Click and drag a tab out of the fence and drop it onto the empty desktop to instantly turn it into its own independent window.
Merge Fences: Click and drag the header of one fence and drop it onto another to merge them together.
