Currently not able to but I WILL try it today. :)

Well I launched the executable and already found a bug! :( I am under the impression your application is not DPI aware? As I have my DPI set to 110% (hard to see things on my TV from my couch!) and I got this. :(

post-312398-0-50508100-1309699153.png

After I went through that window and the stickynote popped up I clicked the + button which popped up the window above (with the DPI bug) and I once again entered my name, clicked continue and got an exception. I hit continue on the exception window, it will not let me choose a picture (browse button is disabled) and clicking the finish button does nothing.

For reference I was running this all from my Downloads folder.

See the end of this message for details on invoking 
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Try this: Download Newer Beta

It may fix your problems, it's just a slightly newer build but it has a lot of things disabled which seem related to your problems.

Still has the DPI bug but no exceptions get thrown now from what I did above.

However if I click the + button and tell it to cancel (the run/cancel dialog that pops up that is) it throws the following exception. Just thought you'd like to know.

See the end of this message for details on invoking 
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Oh I also have this happen when I go to More Options. Not sure if its dpi related or not but if it helps my resolution is set to 1280x800 with the DPI customized to 110% using Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1 (64-bit). :)

WIP

Not much news on StickyNotes currently, not much has changed.

EDIT: Some changes with StickyNotes, much better at memory management, up to 50% better.

And it's better at handling DPI changes.

Profiles are going to be removed from Beta 7, just far too buggy.

All colours have been modified slightly, and some more have been added.

It's going to work better with higher DPIs, it's also much better at memory management.

Looking forward to beta 7. :)

New colours ^

Beta 7 is going to fix the mess that was Beta 6.

I was wondering if people prefer the in-app options UI, or would prefer it to pop out like standard option UIs do.

Hello,

Just tried your Beta 6 and here is some feedback

What is the point of asking users their username and picture? Use the windows one instead?

Modal dialogs are a bit of a pain such applications as people will need to take notes quickly. Morevoer I just killed your app with Task manager and the Setup dialog is still there :D

Fonts are tiny on a 25"

Consider using WPF instead of Windows Forms and then you should also be able to remove WMP Interop as well.

Create an application installer with a shortcut on the start menu

All Windows Phones ship with OneNote so unless you can outshine it I would say don't bother

Try and keep saved notes per user instead of the application directory.

Just to summarize:

Each user have their own windows profile these days so you must consider that

Your UI will need to adapt to different screen resolutions etc...

Looking forward to your Beta 7

Profiles are gone in Beta 7, there will be an installer (ClickOnce), the WP7 app was just a test and B7's UI will be better for higher resolutions.

^ For some reason I had the textbox's visibilty set to false, that'll be fixed in the next preview.

Personally I wouldn't but I am biased against non-native looks to the OS. Minecraft <3

Worth a shot to ask; Any chance of a Windows 8 version for the metro interface? Though I still haven't seen B7 hit.

I was going to start the Windows 8 version today, but the install crashed and the developer tools aren't available for 32-bit computers as far as I know.

No, they are not and will not be as far as I know.

I had no issues installing it on my laptop but on my desktop it refused to install in AHCI mode even with chipset drivers. Had to switch it to IDE mode.

Expect a Metro version around the release of Windows 8 then - don't feel like re-installing Windows currently.

EDIT: You can expect a Metro/Touch Desktop version though - which should come with B7.
