No more scribbling notes in your diary or leaving notes on your desk &#8211; just stick them on your desktop. Here&#8217;s a selection of the most popular on Softonic.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/stickies.en.softonic.com\">Stickies<\/a> is one my favorites because it allows you to customize the colors of the notes or change the transparency. The latter option is particularly useful because it doesn&#8217;t take long before your entire desktop is covered in them meaning you can&#8217;t see any of your icons! Simply hit &#8216;Ctrl-Shift-N&#8217; to place a note below your mouse cursor and scribble away.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/note-it.en.softonic.com\">Note-It<\/a> has the classic sticky note look &#8211; sticky curled-up edges and all &#8211; and offers a few nice little extras. One of which is the ability to drag and drop text from one note to another and also, to e-mail notes. However, it does get very messy once you&#8217;ve filled-up the screen with notes.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for something really flashy though, check out <a href=\"http:\/\/iq-notes.en.softonic.com\">iQ-Notes<\/a>. This program allows you to synchronize sticky notes on separate computers. This is really useful if you work between two machines and keep having to update your notes on a regular basis. iQ-Notes also features a useful alarm function for important notes and you can even password protect them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re a sucker for sticky notes then you&#8217;ll be glad to know that there are several programs out there that can bring them to your desktop.
