Just purchased today, have had my eye on Fences for a few months. Glad I bought it, it's more versatile than Nimi Places.
Creating a Desktop Page at the bottom of my desktop near the Windows taskbar and enabling setting 'Roll up Fences placed on edge of screen' creates a really awesome app drawer.
The unfortunate downside, as other users have mentioned* is that the Desktop Page gets buried beneath other windows, and becomes quickly unusable. It's a shame, because this would greatly improve the capabilities of Fences' Desktop Page feature.
Requesting that devs look into adding this feature.
