IMHO You need to do some file management and put things away at the end of the project. (Akin to the old saying that "a cluttered room is a sign of a cluttered mind.") It's too easy to forget whats there and why you put it there. I think a cluttered desktop is a bad idea.

#PICTURES INSIDE STARDOCK FENCES LICENSE#
I have a copy of this app because I have a license for their whole set of apps ("Object Desktop") but I have never once even considered using it. Version 4 (at this time) - Windows 10, 11 But, otherwise the program seems to be working fine. When I restored my icons after producing this mockup picture, I had to drag each icon from the temporary folder where I'd stashed them back into the fence. If you copied from Windows Explorer, you can do edit undo (or maybe file undo) from the menu. They may be actually appearing on the general desktop behind the fence. If you get this program, and then copy icons into a fence, especially in bulk, they may appear to disappear. I then saved a snapshot and restored it both with and without the TV. I ended up setting a setting not to preserve my layout when screen resolution changes. I had to play with the settings a bit to get it to stay the same with and without the TV. The program has several other advanced features for auto hiding things, auto fading things, and multi desktop page flipping which I keep turned off. They may get rearranged a bit within the fence, but they stay put. Even if I plug in the TV, those icons don't leave their fence. So, I've defined 11 zones where I put different types of icons. Also, I normally keep the fences almost completely transparent. When I have my background image turned on, certain parts of the image will be visible where the light blue is here. In this case, this blue is the background. The light blue areas are where I usually don't want icons. The dark blue areas are my fenced in zones, with transparency reduced.
