FancyNoteBot is a clone of NoteBot (wich is a clone of Microsoft Sticky Notes without useless functionalities) and adds some of those "useless" functionalities back in. (But it still removes alot of uselessness.)
-- WORK IN PROGRESS --
- Stick notes on your desktop
- Can move, resize and zoom
- Custom colors
- Auto startup
- Support for high DPI screens and touch devices
- Major cleanup of the codebase (PR coming soon)
- Auto updater (WIP)
- Synchronisation (WIP)
Altough most (if not all) of my fancyfications go directly against the original intentions of non-fancy NoteBot. To quote NoteBot developer Federico Dossena:
Sticky Notes became trash with the August 2016 update of Windows 10, which turned it into a "modern" app, and added useless and suspicious features like synchronization and telemetry.
These "features" from NoteBot have survived fancyfication:
- Not a "modern" app, you can obliterate all Metro apps from your PC
- No taskbar icon, notes actually stick to the desktop
- No synchronization- No auto updater - No telemetry
- No botnet, it's open source, you can trust this application
- No ugly Segoe Script font
- Windows XP or newer
- Any platform supported by Java SE 7 or newer
