I am a long-time sticky note addict… from Mac OS 5 or so! FreeMind looks very interesting.

You all are spot-on on the needs for a better sticky note… I would like to see a way to export them to PDAs with eath one cross-referenced from the date of creation and on text listing.

keybindings for shading/unshading would be great as well! middle click - bam! - all unshaded and cascaded!

I’ve always thought that a behaviour of toggling “Hide All Notes” on middle-click is one feature that I would really find usefull and effiecient in the operation of the aplet (Shift middle-click could be used to toggle the “Shade/Unshade all note” functionality too). Or vice versa.

I sent a patch to Davyd that makes the always-on-topness configurable. We’ll see what he things. Shading would be cool, I agree.

Actually I’ve been working on something similar using java-gnome, although it doesn’t look like yellow stickies. Basically just a window with a list showing whatever fits on the first line, and if you double click it the full note is shown. I am currently porting it to java-gnome 2.9.x and it may take a while (school starting).

What would be nice would be if one of these apps could ‘merge’ or feed in to an app like freemind: http://freemind.sf.net/ which is a nice tool for organising cluttered brains.

Oh, and: Well, this display of old stickies is very similar to your column of sticky titles.
