Previously i had observed in my http://www.techenclave.com/operating-systems/windows-7-beta-observations-and-screenshots-125353.html thread that the Notes gadget is missing from Windows 7, and instead the sticky notes app has been given prime time position as a replacement for the Notes gadget.
I have been using the sticky notes app for two weeks now, i leave a lot of notes to myself to make sure i remember stuff
hyeah: , and i must say it is a much better notes and postit solution as compared to the very basic and now seemingly useless notes gadget.
Without bothering you with text, i will let the screenshots do all the talking.
This is how the sticky notes open up on the first launch.
I have already forgotten Vista, so am not sure if Vista too supported notes of different colors, but here you go, Wid 7 does.
Now this is my biggest complaing of the notes gadget resolved, multiple notes lying all over your screen :hap2: Feels much more personal this way.
Another improvement over the notes gadget, keep typing and your note will automatically increase in lenght. Make way for the To-Do lists!
Offering more customizations, a user can now simply drag and resize the note according to his wishes.
The notes are readble via the taskbar previews, a simple but still productive tweak.
Sticky Notes is the only app other than Windows Live Messenger offering a productive use of the jump lists!
