Well, it's quite nice app, but it is waaay too flawed... Which is quite strange, because it is long in development :-/

So:

1. It is VERY memory-consuming (20Mb of system memory is a bit too much for a small sticke program, isn't it? The whole Yz Dock packed with lots of docklets eats less than 5Mb)

2. It creates only one-colored stickies every time. It doesn't have any option to create random-coloured stickies.

3. It loads to system tray only, which means that you cannot just put it to yur Dock (Yz, for example) to create a stickie every time you need, instead - you have to double-click this small systray icon every time you need to create a stickie...

4. MS .NET Framework is just a wrong tool for creating nice, light-weight applications...

Sad but true - this app is still have much to be polished... :(

So what is the best stickies program??

I still can't try xstickies by cassiel because when i want to add new note it will said that out of memory, error 7 bla bla bla.....

So for me this still the best stickies program around, because I don't know any stickies program that you can add new note from the dock...

Its written in C#, he doesn't have a choice.

I use ATNotes - I like it a lot.

It's nicely customizable, &c - see for yourself, neh?

Just double-click the top bar and it goes away...to bring it back put your mouse up near the top border of the window and double-click again

Xstickies can do that, but the application is no longer available,

I try to use the same argument as xstickies with other stickies application but it didn't work, so i just content to create new note using window shorcut instead

I have tried all 'Stickies' programs suggested here. But when I have found ATnotes, it's way more functional than other programs.

It has alarm notification system which reminds you of a schedule.

It's customizable.

It looks clean (without the need for skins or whatever.) with a dropped shadow.

In my opinion, AT notes is better than stickies 4.5a, which doesn't look that great, along with it's features.

I use Post-it from 3M, and it can be integrated into Y'z Dock.

I am sure some of you already heard this stickie program before. (Y)

#54663

Yeah, but the "Post-Its" dont get shadowed and if you want transparency you have to wet it down. Too much "Real World" work lol.

#54673

HEY (ALANG )

ok, i c you are really mad about this App. (Sorry for the late)

First use this file as a skin in your stikies 4.5a

how?

Well, first put the "SKIN.bmp" (save it as a zip or just rename it and unzip it ;) ) in the stikies folder, then , go to your Stikies.exe--->(right click on the try icon) ---> Styles...--->(under skin) Browse the "SKIN.bmp" and acept......

That is all.

what about now .... look nice isn`t it ??? Well bye Dude.

Thanks buddy,

But since i'm trying atnotes I find this application is more useful and easy to use

By the way I really appreciate your help and maybe someday when I bored with atnotes i will switch it back to stickies 4.5a and use ur mod

U should release ur mod ingeneermind so that other members can use it too.

I have tried it and it's really a great mode
