Looking for a Post It application

Hello guys,

I'm curious to know which Post It application you can recommend. The notes should stay permanently on the desktop and not be minimised.

The ones I already tested and that didn't suit perfectly are: StickyNotes, Xpad and TomBoy.

Eventually I prefer a GTK application.

Thanks for suggestions.

Regards

How about Sticky Notes? It's GTK, here's a link: http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/11854.html
Taken from the Common Applications wiki links:Note Taking Organizers

glista with notes support Home page
hnb - A program to organize many kinds of data in one place
NoteCase - A portable hierarchical note manager, coded in C++ using the GTK+ toolkit
Task - A command-line TODO list manager
tomboy - Desktop note-taking application for Linux and Unix
zim - A WYSIWYG text editor that aims at bringing the concept of a wiki to the desktop
Gnote - Gnote is an experimental port of Tomboy to C++
Cherrytree - A hierarchical note taking application

Re: Looking for a Post It application

Hi,

As written above I already tried Sticky Notes and it didn't fulfilled its task to let the notes stay permanently on the desktop.

And it seems that your other suggestions doesn't support that either.

The idea is pretty simple. I just want to have "post it notes" to be fixed on the desktop, regardless of minimizing, ,hiding, maximizing or closing windows. Something similar exists for Windows I guess.

Re: Looking for a Post It application

xpad sounds like it might be a good solution for you.

I find it fairly handy when I want to leave myself a message.

It might be able to be configured so that the messages stay on the desktop. By default the messages at on top rather than on bottom.

Another solution would be to pipe a text file into conky. I do that for my todo list.

Re: Looking for a Post It application

You were right, I tried Xpad again and except the tray icon which I want to hide, Xpad suits well enough.

Any ideas how I could hide the tray icon?

Interesting, but I never worked with Emacs. Time to change that hmm?
