Search for information on WinAPI. Read MSDN.
Example:
1 -> google : c# arrange desktop icons
2 -> stackoverflow.com/questions/131690/how-can-i-progr...

Based on the screenshots, at first glance it looks like Fences uses Windows Gadgets.
Here are tutorials on how to write them (HTML and JS):

Although, on the other hand, they can do it on WinAPI, since there It is possible to manipulate shortcuts on the desktop. It remains only to make their POPUP windows with titles translucent.
