Gave it a try. Very nice and simple.

Any possibility for the following:

- ability to resize the note size (so can fit in an increased number of notes on one desktop);

- ability to have multiple pages on each note which you cycle through like in yellow notes applet so that you can have more than one note on the desktop but only take the space of one;

- ability to bold text so that the bolded text can function as a heading for the note;

- ability to change font and text size and color.

Perfection would be the ability to 'scribble' notes

Nice app. already really useful!

Some feature suggestions:

Some way to handle the app when last note is deleted. it keeps running in the backgound, unreachable it seems. alternatively disable the delete of the last note.

Clicking on a note should raise it above the other overlapping notes.

it would also be nice to be able to move a note without putting the desktop in edit mode.

hide all and raise all functionality. hide all should leave a small button. maybe in the toolbar? like in similar apps on linux and windows.

The same files are good for MADDE, but are messed up by the auto-builder.
Okay, the nasty error is now fixed. The current version in extras-devel should install fine.

For the people who have the screwed up version, you should purge it before installing the new one, or simply reinstall.

For me, the following code from a root terminal worked:
Code:
start sticky-notes
apt-get install sticky-notes
(The start is required because the pre-removal script tires to kill it, and if it can't kill it, it will fail. I know, stupid.)

This is a feature, not a bug, and is pretty much intentional.
The reason:
  • Sticky Notes doesn't run inside hildon-home, thus the only way to make the widgets re-appear on reboot is starting it in the background
  • I want only one process handling all of the notes
  • If you click on either the icon, or "add widget", the background process is called and it displays the new note
  • When running in the background, it really doesn't do anything, just sits there doing nothing. It doesn't use CPU in this state, thus doesn't hurt your battery, either

I hope I could provide a meaningful explanation!
(I also added this one to the FAQ section of the original post.)

Nice app indeed.
I'm using Yellow Notes and like his feature to have multiple notes within one window.
Maybe you can add this as an option to Sticky Notes?

Okay, I've received some very good suggestions already, keep them coming!

This is already amongst my planned features.

Should be pretty straightforward, but I still have to come up with a good UI for it.

Nice idea, but I don't know how should I fit it into the finger-friendly UI. If you have a suggestion, I'm listening!

This is also coming. I'll create a settings dialog for the note and this will be one of the settings available.

I thought about it, but I haven't written anything like this. Good idea, though.

Yes, I wanted to, but it seems that it is either impossible or extremely hacky to achieve.

Nice one! I will definitely implement this in some way. Unfortunately, this is hacky as well, because desktop widgets don't receive dragging events, as those are handled by the desktop.

Hm, and in which menu should that button be?

Others suggested this as well, so I think I will!

I was just thinking that I would need to install a note widget again.

Will give this a spin! Looks cool enough.

About 'bold'-ing of a text, just have a setting if yo have the first line bold or not. I doubt most people will need more then that.

Would it be possible to have it display one of the conboy notes? Or maybe just have it be possible to point to a file for the note contents. (that way i could point it to the appropriate note file from conboy)

Thanks alot!

I was thinking about adding key combinations or something like that.

Hm, I haven't thought about making the notes point to certain files, but this is a nice idea.
Should every note point to a file or just the ones you want?
Also, should they delete the file when you close the widget?
