For those looking for Google Keep or Windows Sticky Notes style desktop noting app, Linux Mint’s “sticky” is a good choice for Ubuntu Linux.<\/b><\/p>\n

Linux Mint maintains some great apps. Sticky<\/a> is one of them that sticks an electronic version of Post-it Note on your desktop. It’s GTK3 app written in Python3 and works on most desktop environments.<\/p>\n

With it, you may create as many notes as possible on desktop. And, it allows to set different color palette for each note: Blue<\/b>, Green<\/b>, Magenta<\/b>, Orange<\/b>, Purple<\/b>, Red<\/b>, Teal<\/b>, and Yellow<\/b>.<\/p>\n

By right-clicking on header, it allows to set title for your note, and make it “Always on Top”. And, it supports format options including: Bold<\/b>, Italic<\/i>, Fixed Width, Underline<\/u>, Strikethrough<\/del>, Highlight, Header, toggle Checklist and Bullets. There are many other features, e.g., emoji, language, undo and redo support!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Linux Mint apps used to have right angles which are a little bit ugly in GNOME desktop. Now, it’s switching to rounded title-bar corners which looks native in Ubuntu, though it still lacks an indicator applet.<\/p>\n

The app starts as group dialog with button in the bottom to add \/ remove notes, though each note itself has the new and delete buttons.<\/p>\n
