Stardock Fences is a program that helps you sort your desktop icons, by putting them in 'fences' or 'sections'

Stardock Fences lets you sort your desktop icons by placing them in fences. You can customize the look of these fences (coloured / transparent etc...). There are 2 versions - free and paid. The paid version has many more features such as auto-placing new icons on the desktop into their respective fence.

Please only use this tag when referring to this program, nothing else!

Is there a way to numerically resize and position stardock fences

So, I hate trying to drag and resize fences, I can almost never get them correctly sized or spaced and while it helps my desktop organization, the offsets just bug me. Is there a way to manually size them numerically?
