Mac Treat #64: Stickies Tips

I’m a fan of the Post-It note, so I love the fact that it comes on my Mac (plus, it’s better for the environment that way). I’m not a fan, however, of the clutter that occurs when I have several windows open.

I thought I’d explore some preferences to see if I could make the application work better for me, and I found an option I now use all the time: making the note translucent, with the keyboard shortcut of Command-Option-T. So now when I have several notes open, I can still see the other items I’m working on underneath.

There are many more tips to make Stickies a much better app, and Macostips.co.uk has outlined a top 10 which is worth a read (they like the translucency, too!). Check it out!
