All you have to do is click the sticky to activate the Stickies app and I can make changes again. I can also make it translucent so you can kind of see through the window a little bit if I want. You can easily grab a corner here to shrink it down to make it nice and small so it's not in the way. So I can stick it off in the corner and it will always be something on top of things. So now it floats on top so no matter what I do with Safari it's not going to be able to get on top of the sticky note. But I can select this window in Stickies and now I can select to have it put on top. You can see Safari is covering these because they're regular windows. But not only that you can actually bring them to the front permanently. So you can kind of get it a little bit out of the way. In addition to be able to close a sticky you can also click this little button here and it shrinks down to just the title bar. But if I open it again, then they all come back and they remember their positions. Now, they are only there as long as Stickies is running. These things float around on your screen. You can even import text into it if you want. You've got a full set of editing tools so it's kind of like a little text editor. So you can have all different types of notes up there. So you can do fonts and change the color of the entire note. You can create little lists, you can put procedures you need to do everyday. But you can create your own by going into File, New note, and you get this little window with a little title bar there that you can move around. It gives you a couple samples to start off. Well, it simply simulates little sticky notes, or post it notes, that are on your desktop. It's an app that's on your Mac called Stickies. To be honest I completely forgot that they were even part of Mac OS. Video Transcript: So here's a subject I haven't talked about in a long time. Once you do the above a few times, it becomes very quick with the left three fingers copying and pasting the style while the right hand moves the cursor to just two places (pre-highlighted and the new word/phrase).Check out Using Mac Stickies at YouTube for closed captioning and more options. It's not idea and still somewhat clumsy and bothersome, but sure beats having to cmd+T all the time and then fumbling with the mouse back and forth. Next, highlight the word/phrase I want to strikethrough and cmd+opt+v to apply the style. Then, when I need to strikethrough something else, I highlight the word (can already have it pre-highlighted if you have it in a dedicated sticky note and then just have to click on the note once to activate the highlight again), then cmd+opt+c to copy the style. Or something similar and have this text stricken through. The best workaround I found was to have a line at the top or in a dedicated Sticky with the text: Can't even add it as a shortcut because the option is not listed in the menus. I don't know why they don't have the option more readily available. Yes, you can do the same and perhaps in a more orderly fashion in Notes, but with Stickies, you can visually see the notes and move them around almost like working with index cards.Īnyways, pressing Cmd+T to bring up the window I found was way too clumsy and bothersome. I sometimes dedicate one desktop just for all the sticky notes organized into groups. I love it for quick notes and to-do lists, etc. This is actually one of the worst things about Stickies.
