stickies, how i wish you had a scroll bar

There are numerous alternatives to Stickies, and some of which do have scrollbars. I suggest looking at the software search engines:

http://www.macupdate.com/ and http://www.versiontracker.com/ to find the one that meets your needs the best.

How much are you writing on these notes to need a scroll bar?

If you search the Macworld site for tips, etc look for Scrollable Stickies there you will find how to modify your Stickies app to have a scroll bar. I have done it and it was quite easy even for a tech challenged like me.

Peter,

I was looking forward to my first attempt to use the Developer Tools I just discovered and loaded. The scrollable Stickies looked like a perfect first timer project.

When I opened up the View Inspector window though, my window, though similar, was missing a few items, including the "Automatically Hide Scroller", which I wasn't able to sellect. My first attempt to follow the instructions did not produce scrollable Stickies.

Any thoughts for the differrence in the apperance of my window and the failure of my attempt? I was running 10.4.6 at the time.

Here's the FAQ:

If it doesn't work, I'd e-mail Rob Griffiths.

Your trying to reinvent the wheel too, are You?
Like I wanted to with iCal.
And all I wanted was new entries in birthday, being I just learned it's only possible from address book list. Now that's a limited pile of junk function.

My opinion, give it up on the stickies scroll bar.
The lower right corner grab is your final option.
Single ideas belong on stickies. Like the color options. Like real ones.
One for yard work pending, one for car, and one for food shopping as such.
BUT,
As to why you are not using text documents instead is puzzling.
These can be the master lists you pick and choose from.
For one, it has scroll bars.
Stickies are cute, but like all post it notes, they loose their stick.
I'd just copy-paste any sticky to text edit document and save to your chosen daily document folder.

Format the document to a default standard font, so when you add anything more to document, you simply hit edit tab and select paste and match style. Done, and hit save.

You can throw in any saved document, and sort it out later.
Spot-Light will show you where the idea went.

Photo's embedded into document. How can you beat that?
I can't be expected to recall everything about my new Canon 30D camera.

So anything I find online that keeps me updated, related to this camera gets added to that Canon 30D text document.
I format the page to ' wrap to window' and just keep adding more images, or any active page links. Better than any bookmark can.

Print out one of the master lists and keep it back pocket for a week or month, and see what you added to it.

best regards
