What's New in Stickies! 2.5
* Refiling notes! Stickies! notes will now remember where they were last
filed in the file cabinet facility, and can be returned to that cabinet
and folder with a single keystroke, Ctrl-Z.
* Tip of the Day! In order to make Stickies! as easy to use as possible,
it now has a tip of the day feature. Stickies! will optionally present
you with a randomly chosen tip of the day. This is the easiest way yet
to learn the ins and outs of Stickies!. Like the quote of the day note,
the tip can be changed to another random selection with a double click
on its title.
* Greater configurability! Many users have sent us suggestions, and we
incorporated several of them into a new global options dialog that gives
you more even control over how Stickies! works. The new configuration
items are:
- Resource alarm. You can now make Stickies! warn you when your
"Windows resources" (as displayed on the About box of File Manager,
Program Manager, and Stickies!) fall below a given level.
- Stickies! will now do automatic, timed saves of your active notes.
You can set the time interval or disable this feature entirely.
- The alarm and expiration dates can now be initialized with the current
dates instead of those in the default note settings. You have the
option of making Stickies! work either way.
- The file cabinet icon can now be eliminated from your Windows desktop.
With another new feature you can tell Stickies! to open the file
cabinet instead of creating a new note when you double click on the
main Stickies! icon and the file cabinet icon is not displayed.
- You can now tell Stickies! not to make dialog backgrounds gray.
- You can specify how many days Stickies! will allow a note to remain
hidden before it will force the note to be visible. Version 2.1 added
a feature that forced the notes to be visible after 10 days. This
feature can now be turned off or adjusted as you desire.
- Do you prefer that all new notes always have a scroll bar? You now have
that option.
- Default program for note links. Some users suggested that the default
link program (NOTEPAD.EXE) was not everyone's favorite selection. You
can now configure the default link program.
- You can tell Stickies! to cancel the Windows 3.1 screen saver feature
when a note's alarm sounds.
- You can turn off the tip of the day feature, described above.
* New shortcut keys! Ctrl-A duplicates the currently active note, and F6
shifts the Windows focus from one active, open note to another.
* New-note hotkey! You can create a new note anytime Stickies! is active,
simply by hitting Ctrl-Shift-N, even when you're working in another program.
* Improved on-line help! Many customers have told us how much they like our
manual and on-line help. While we always enjoy receiving such comments,
we remain committed to making the Stickies! documentation second to none.
In this release, we've added many new hyperlinks to the on-line help, added
new topics, and rewritten some of the old topics.
* No new bug fixes! No bugs were reported or discovered during the previous
release's tenure, so none were fixed.
For registered users:
* More quotes! The quote database has been expanded from 700 quotes to over
1,600.
* More history! As with the quote database, the today in history database has
been greatly expanded.
* Quick-change quotes! You can now browse the quote database by double
clicking on the caption bar of the quote of the day note.
* Better history note! The today in history note will now display the
current date in its caption bar, and it will automatically change its
contents at midnight.
* Always on top goodies! You can configure the quote of the day and today
in history notes to remain always on top of other windows. (This
feature is only available with Windows 3.1 and later.)
