PostIt

PostIt is a lightweight Yahoo! widget developed specifically for helping you place sticky notes on your desktop in order to remember important events. You are offered the freedom to keep multiple notes on the screen at the same time. It can be deployed on all Windows versions out there, provided that you have the Yahoo! Widget Engine platform installed on the target PC.

Clean and simple design

After going through a simple installation process where you only need to follow the instructions in order to complete the process, the widget automatically places three notes on your screen. You are allowed to move them anywhere on the desktop using drag-and-drop actions.
Right-clicking on a note gives you the possibility to get access to a set of configuration settings. The dedicated parameters look easy to work with so you are not going to spend a lot of time wondering where to get started. In addition, you can easily create new notes or delete the selected ones.
Sticky notes can be resized according to your preferences. What’s more, PostIt lets you adjust the background color of each note, set the location where note data is saved, as well as make the gadget use random colors when creating a new note.
Tests have pointed out that gadget carries out tasks quickly and without errors. It remains light on system resources so the overall performance of the computer is not hampered. You may keep it running in the background.
Other notable configuration settings implemented by the Yahoo! platform help you keep the widget on top of other panels, ignore all mouse events, turn off the ability to drag the widget with the mouse, as well as set the opacity of the gadget by moving the integrated slider.
