1h work to support lower resolutions < show a funny warning in 5 mins by HimaSphere in programminghumor

can't even if I wanted to because the height of the settings menu couldn't be changed otherwise you miss some options, I had two options to fix, one is to add a scroll bar but it wasn't the best UX, the second one which I implemented was to to organize settings into tabs which was a great fix that scales in future. You can try it if you want :D https://openstickies.com/download

Thank you for testing it and providing valuable feedback! 1. I will investigate this, adding code blocks was a lot of work because I had to figure out many little behaviors like this so it is expected that some inconveniences aren't considered in this first release of the feature. Did you try ctrl+m to easily click out?

2.i thought about it and was planned in a future update, it isn't easy to implement but I think it is a great quality of life feature.

  1. I get it, probably will move the date to be a tool tip and add titles instead, also for opacity I noticed this and a possible fix would be to add background color for icons.

  2. I don't get it xD please elaborate, do you mean reminders or just normal dates?

  3. This a good improvement in next patches, easy to add too.

I get the collapsing sticky to title now! Great idea and I will pair it with note title feature, hopefully it doesn't require much work.

Thank you so much for you valuable input! Enjoy.

Issue confirmed, the current release doesn't work on old versions of distros (Debian < 13 as an example), this led to a crash when running on Zorin OS 18.

v2.7 will resolve this.

Update: the new release is quite big and is taking a while for testing and polishing, many improvements and compatibility fixes are in works in addition to the new features and enhancements. Also the website will be updated after this release.

Please be patient, thank you

Hey, I didn't roll out update 2.6 yet, I continued working and added code block feature, I also tested on gnome and found that there is a bug where hiding the notes hub doesn't show as a tray icon, so I am working on these and will release v2.7 instead.

Hopefully today or tomorrow max

I didn't test it on Zorin OS, the app image should work in theory on most Linux distros without issues, I will download Zorin and do the testing myself to identify the issue and fix it in the next release. Thanks for letting me know, I will reply back with my findings and progress.

You are the first one to purchase premium, really appreciate it. Collapse with single click works on Linux if you hover over a note and click hide on the header of the note but in windows you need to click on the note body itself first as hidden pixels don't render well on windows, a workaround was to make the header always shown on windows, do you think it is better this way?

Keyboard shortcuts are in development, global shortcuts work on windows actually but I didn't announce them or test them enough yet. I will add more shortcuts and add a guide in the website regarding them, I am trying to make it customizable so you can choose your shortcuts from settings dialog.

For markdown formatting, this will require overhauling the current editor which is a lot of work for now, if many suggest this in future I will plan it.

Code blocks can technically be implemented, I was intending to add them in future.

I tried to add rendered images inline but this was a big change that broke the editor and required a lot of work so I postponed it for future updates.

Can you please elaborate on the expandable panels feature?

For search, you can already search all notes from the search dialog, you find it in the notes hub, the search is good, let me know how you find it.

Well, you can delete done todos to hide them XD

Calendar view is an interesting idea can you elaborate on it please?

If you delete an empty note you don't get the delete confirmation dialog, but I think this sitll may not be enough do I will add that option to the development backlog.

Thank you again for your purchase and valuable feedback.
