About Stickies
Stickies is a PC utility written to try to cut down on the number of yellow notes stuck to the monitor.

## Main features
* Once on screen, notes will remain where placed until closed, even through reboots
* Stickies appearance can be customised; fonts, colours and buttons may be changed, and styles saved. Notes can be resized.
* Stickies can store text or images
* Stickies can be hidden for a certain period, until a specified date and time, or to wake every day, week or month, to act as reminders.
* Stickies can have alarms set to ensure you notice them at a point you choose
* International language, Unicode and RTL text support
* Stickies can snap to each other and to the sides of the screen to keep them neatly lined up
* Stickies can be attached to an application, web site, document or folder so they only show when it's on screen
* Stickies can be transferred from one machine to another either over a TCP/IP network connection, or by using an SMTP mail server or MAPI client:
* Hierarchical friends list, which may be automatically transferred from other friends
* Stickies works with Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10
* Stickies is small and simple, it writes to a database file, and does not alter the registry
* AD network administrators can use Group Policy to control settings
* API to allow integration with other applications
* ...and Stickies is completely free!
#### Malware free
To save costs, the author of this freeware does not purchase a signing certificate for the compiled binaries which results in the occasional antimalware scanner flagging Stickies as "malware". The author [attests that Stickies does not contain any virus or malware](https://www.zhornsoftware.co.uk/support/kb.pl?q=00097), and has been publishing the software for 25+ years. Ultimately, *you* have to decide for yourself whether to trust the author's claim. Even so, your protection software could delete/quarantine the program without consultation, and there is nothing this package nor Chocolatey can do to prevent that.
