What's New in Stickies! 3.0

* Multiple note sets! Instead of a single "active set," you can now
  have 10 named note sets that you can quickly switch between. 

* Styles! You can create named styles that contain all the color, 
  font, alarm, etc., settings for a note, and then apply those styles
  to notes, or even have Stickies! prompt you with a list of styles
  whenever you create a new, blank note.

* Configurable sound effects!  See the "For registered users" section 
  for details.

* Programming function keys! You can assign nearly all Stickies! 
  internal functions to the function keys F1 through F12.

* Locked program option! You can password protect Stickies!, which 
  prevents casual access to your notes (those in your note sets as 
  well as those in your file cabinet).

* Autoload notes! You can create a standard Stickies! export file with
  a single note, and have Stickies! load that note when you create a 
  new blank note. This provides a simple yet effective "forms" feature.

* Greater configurability! Many users have sent us suggestions, and we
  incorporated several of them into the global options dialog, giving 
  you more even control over how Stickies! works. The new options are:

  - Refiling confirmation. You can now turn off the refiling notice that
    Stickies! displays to tell you where a note has been filed after you
    use the Ctrl-Z shortcut key.  

  - Inheriting parent note's font and color. When you create a new note 
    by double clicking on its caption bar, Stickies! will optionally use 
    that note's color and font for the new note.

  - Prompting for new note's style. You can tell Stickies! to prompt you 
    with the list of your defined note styles when you create a new, 
    blank note.

  - File cabinet double click setting. Before version 3.0, Stickies! 
    would treat a double-click on a note's title in the file cabinet as 
    a "copy" command; now you can tell Stickies! to checkout the note 
    instead.

  - Link button re-ordering. There are new buttons on the link config.
    dialog that you can use to change a link's position on its note.

* Improved Usability! Is there such a thing as a program that doesn't
  need usability enhancements? We don't think so. Here's the latest 
  set of improvements to Stickies! in this area:

  - Quick close file cabinet dialogs. If you hold down the shift key when
    you click on the Copy, Checkout, or Close buttons on the folder browser
    dialog, Stickies! will perform the requested action and then close both
    file cabinet dialogs.  

  - Refile option when deleting a note. When you delete a non-blank note, 
    Stickies! will give you the option of refiling it in the file cabinet, 
    if possible.

  - Refile option for expired notes. Similar to the above option, Stickies! 
    will give you the option of refiling an exported note, when possible.

  - Minimize all Notes and Restore all Notes menu options. There are new 
    options on the main program's Arrange Notes menu to minimize or restore
    all the notes in your active set.

  - UNC-style filename compatibility. Stickies! will now accept UNC-style
    filenames (e.g. \\fred\temp\file.doc as opposed to c:\temp\file.doc).

* Surface notes hotkey! You can use a new global hotkey, Ctrl-Shift-S, 
  to "surface" all your notes anytime Stickies! is running. This is a 
  handy way to quickly check your notes when you're working in another, 
  full-screen Windows program.

* Export all notes as text option. Several customers have asked us for a 
  way to combine all the text from their active notes into a single, plain
  ASCII file. Here it is.

For registered users:

* Configurable sound! You can turn each Stickies! sound on or off, and
  assign built-in sounds or your own WAV files to each event.

* More history!  Once again, the today-in-history database has been 
  expanded.

Please note that Stickies! now requires Microsoft Windows 3.1.
