If you want a suggestion, how about adding a way to lock notes to prevent accidental editing? I used a sticky notes gadget a while ago, and sometimes it would gain focus without me noticing and I would accidentally type into it. Something simple like double clicking to edit it, and locking the note if it loses focus.

And if you have a website for your program, I could add it to the freeware list for you.

Sadly - I don't have a website for Notes just yet - I pretty much use this thread for the news and product releases.

I'll add a lock feature - i'll try and get it done today :)

In other news, Beta 2 of StickyNotes is out!

Download!

This has a few UI bugs, but increases the performance, removes the more colours option, adds a Last Modified option and cleans up the Remind me feature.

One little UI quirk: If you go to set a custom color, but hit cancel it sets it to black.

Fixed - thanks for reporting :)

updated; I really want this to save so after I restart my PC I can just let this load up and keep what I have in my stickies already.

Will hopefully have that in a future update.

Avast says this is unsafe...

It's totally safe - trust me.

It's working fine here so far. This time, I wrote down some random notes while testing it:

  • Double click to edit locked notes
  • Custom taskbar thumbnail shows snippet of text instead of window thumbnail (Perhaps for future version)
  • Hide vertical scrollbar when its not needed
  • Pressing Enter to save title, instead of clicking button.
  • Title is slightly difficult to read on yellow background.

i second these two things, they're small but they'll make a big difference

Thanks :) That means a lot coming from you :)

I'm flattered. :)

I just gave Sticknotes a test-run and I think it's an excellent app so far! I can definitely see myself using this a lot. :)

Here's a couple of things I think will make the app even better.

  • Minimize to Tray, rather than TaskBar (Keeps it out of the way, kind a peeve of mine :p)
  • Keep on Desktop Level (Similar to show on top, but prevents show desktop from hiding it)

I love it so far and I can't wait for some of the other features you have in the works (skins especially :D).

Hopefully I'm going to get a few designers creating skins for StickyNotes, especially people that have created a theme for Windows (Such as Zain), but skinning StickyNotes is so easy anybody could do it. I sure look forward to seeing people's skins (Especially you BoneyardBrew!)

    • What browser do you prefer to use, and why?

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.
