We have reviewed a sticky notes alternative in April. Here’s another software that could be the best sticky notes software ever.
Why could it be the best sticky notes software?
- Easy to use
- Rich-text editing (format your text)
- Insert links into your notes
- Create ordered lists
- Synchronize notes with Microsoft Outlook
- Archive for old sticky notes
- Search sticky notes archive
- Add sticky note to ALT-Tab Switch
- Hide sticky notes
- Low-weight software
- Change sticky notes background color
You will have to get used to moving the sticky notes software via CTRL + Left Mouse. You’ll also have to enable formatting first and change the annoying yellow background, but other than that you’ll love this software.
You can change the background of the sticky notes software by clicking on the paint bin. You can also change the background color of the text line (don’t confuse the two)
Unhandled exception errors
I did run into a few unhandled exception errors on Windows 7 64-bit. I’ll try to contact the developers. If they could fix this this software could be a valuable tool.
If you want to try it yourself, head over to http://desknotes.codeplex.com/
Absolute kick ass.
Added to .\Install\CORE\ after 7 minutes of customizing.
Hi Oliver,
I’m the author of DeskNotes and I like you comments and suggestions. Can you email me what were unhandled exception on windows 7? I’m not aware of any.
Thanks’ Martin
Keep getting unhandled exception DiskNOtes Win 7 64….

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
The problem with IOException should be fixed in latest build of DeskNotes 2.3.1 available on website http://desknotes.codeplex.com/
