This is a small utility to put stick-em notes on the desktop screen. Rather than hooks, it uses a timer and GetAsyncKeyState to monitor both key and mouse states. It also sets an icon in the system tray. To operate:
The note setup menu can be accessed by right-clicking the icon in the system tray.
Hitting Alt-X will bring the setup dialog up directly.
To customize the note you can check boxes for the font color, background color and shape. If the rounded corners box is not checked, a default rectangular box is used.
Since the font size can be adjusted, to avoid a screen overrun, the message should be made multiline. The message works best if the length of each line is one space longer than the length of the longest line. This can be achieved by adding a space to the end end the longest line and than adding spaces to each line to make them each the same length. It is also neater to begin each line with a space.
After the message is written, press Control-X.
If both the change text color and change background color boxes were checked, 2 color dialog boxes will appear, the first is for the background color.
Holding Alt while clicking the left mouse button places the note at the location of the cursor.
If not satisfied with the result, clicking on the note will remove it; repeating the previous process will allow a change.
Up to five notes can appear on the screen at a time, however by removing a note, it can be changed, to allow for an unlimited number of notes to be written.
The application is closed from the note setup menu.
