I love Noto and the idea! Everything is great so far. A few of my notes from usage.

I would like to see options for transparency and vibrancy for backgrounds. Apple's Terminal's blur and transparency theming options are similar, but using the build-in vibrancy 'light', 'medium-light', 'dark', 'ultra-dark', etc would be awesome.

A sidebar or mini-window with a file navigator and open folder option would make it much more usable for me while editing a multiple files.

Also, the 'customize toolbar' option has some issues. The window blocks the menu and padding around buttons is inconsistent. It could just be disabled, but simply trying to remove the print button was a pain.

I just discovered this app... seems like a pretty nice app...

TipTyper also seems good...

If Noto is going to replace TipTyper, it would be nice if Noto also had what TipTyper has... like those buttons, tabs...

Also... although it's nice to select a color for the background, it would be nice if there was an option to have a standard-looking toolbar, like what TipTyper has (with a sight gradient and translucency).

And I like how Tip Typer has borders between the part with line numbers and the status bar and that the open/save dialogs open under the toolbar.

Maybe show some tooltips too, to make it more clear for new user what does each button do... the show/hide invisible characters button looks too much like the Quick Look icon (maybe adding the ↵ sign under the eye would make it more clear what it represents) and I guess someone could be confused about what it is supposed to do when he opens the app for the first time and before using the app to see what it does.

Loving the sidebar with a file navigator idea (with open folder option).
