WallNotes1.2

Although the latest Windows version comes with an integrated sticky notes application, there is a plethora of other options out there, each with different functions. One of them is WallNotes, a lightweight utility that can attach your most important notes to the desktop wallpaper, displaying to-do lists or reminders in colored, transparent boxes.

Place transparent notes on your desktop

Using WallNotes is intuitive, thanks to its clear options and organized interface. The main window enables you to create the note you want WallNotes to display, following a few simple rules to keep all the information well-structured. The application can store text notes and to-do lists, each separated by horizontal lines (to draw one, just add "-" on an empty line).The type and the color of the font can be customized in the 'Configuration' area, which also bundles options to change the background and the foreground colors of the note box, adjust the transparency level, and toggle word wrap. Moreover, to highlight important information, you can change the colors of lines or words within the text.The note box is not clickable and cannot be interacted with directly from the desktop, although having a lock / unlock function would come in handy. Nevertheless, you can set its position and resize it in the 'Configuration' section.

Get news from the currency market on your desktop

Aside from desktop notes, you can use WallNotes as a way to stay up-to-date with the latest economical news from investing.com. The entries in the feed are filtered using user-defined currencies and the importance of the news, and the feed is updated once every 4 hours, but this time interval can be changed.If you want to get rid of the Fx news box, you can do so by unchecking the corresponding box in the 'Configuration' area.

Displays to-do lists, simple text notes, and Fx market news

The idea behind WallNotes is to provide a transparent desktop note that anyone can use to store to-do lists and notes.Unfortunately, the application is not too fit for storing reminders, as there is no alarm to notify you about an event. Instead, it mixes things up a bit and provides a news reader for the Forex market. Although useful, the news box is a tool that targets specific users, so it might happen that not many appreciate it.As a recommendation, it would be great to have locked or hidden notes, a calendar to store events, and a notification system to implement reminders, features that would turn WallNotes into a more desirable personal organizer.
