Features

• Stick notes on your desktop
• Can move, resize and zoom
• Custom colors
• Auto startup
• Support for high DPI screens and touch devices

Lack of features

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. Therefore...

• 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 telemetry
• Not even an auto updater
• No botnet: it's open source, you can trust this application
• And most importantly: no ugly Segoe Script font

Compatibility

• Windows XP or newer
• Any platform supported by Java SE 7 or newer

Usage

Import the projects into Netbeans.

_SETUP contains all the files used to build the Windows installer and the .deb package. To build the Windows installer, you'll need Inno Setup and launch4j.
