Stickies for windows...I love these things!!!!

[Fanum]

I had a version of these on my old W95 machine but stumbled across again them the other night...they're frikkin excellent!!!

It lets you put a sticky, like a post it note, anywhere on the screen......you make a new one from an icon in the toolbar.....

You can make them as transparent or solid as you want, any size, any font/font size, and you can overlap them, drag and drop them and resize them like any other window...

You double click in them to add text and you can make them appear over the top of other windows, so you can use them to float on top so you can see them all the time (useful for adding stuff into a document)

The only thing (which is quite a flaw but doesn't stop them from being damned useful) wrong with them is that the right click 'copy and paste' doesn't work within them....but they are bloody useful as 'to do' lists or as a reminder or whatever

There are several versions out there...I've only tried this one so far but will report back if I find one that does support cut'n paste, 'cos that would be perfect

I like these things

Copy with a right click then paste in the stickie using Ctrl-V

Someone's knocked over a cup of coffee on the windowsill...shouldn't you be looking for a rag or something???

Bugger me!!

Right click copy doesn't work for me, but highlighting the text and ctrl c then ctrl v to paste does...thanks for that!!!
