But the lack of support for automatically displaying previous notes is kind of a let down. This does not affect the date format used by Windows.Īlarm Stickies 3 works fine if you use it for everyday notes. The only workaround for this is to use the US date format in Alarm Stickies 3's settings. A small window should appear where you can. You can also do this with the keyboard shortcut: Control + P. The program starts in the tray click on its icon to create your first sticky note. It also has a reminder functionality, hence the 'alarm' in the name. I tried using other formats from the settings, but noticed that trying to set an alert or clicking the modify/delete button in the "list of stickies" crashes the application. Alarm Stickies 3 is a freeware application that displays sticky notes on your desktop. Note: The program doesn't play well with date formats other than the US format (mm-dd-yyyy). Or you can set a custom notification to be alerted a few days in advance.
I’ve been panicking for days as I couldn’t find any current posts (apparently I’m the only person this has happened to) that helped me to figure out how to read the buried file.
The program can be set to notify you when the date criteria is met. A recent Windows update killed my sticky notes (stupid Windows) and I lost a great deal of very important information that I needed to act on. Save birthdays, anniversaries and other recurring dates from the "Recurrences" window. Click on a future date to create an alert.

Stickies with alerts can be restored by clicking the "Modify" button.
This isn't convenient, but the notes aren't lost. This opens up a window that lists your notes, and you can copy a note just by clicking on it. You can however view them by right-clicking the tray icon and selecting "List of stickies with alerts" or "List of outdated stickies". The sticky note widgets are not displayed when you exit the program or hide them. However, if you drag it towards the bottom it deletes the note forever. So, how do you save notes? Drag a sticky to either side of your screen to preserve the note's data. But do remember, they stay on top of other windows, so you may want to resize them by dragging them to a location where they don't interfere with your work. Of course, you can have as many sticky notes you want. Alarm Stickies 3 supports many keyboard shortcuts which you can customize.
You can change the background color of a sticky note by pressing Ctrl + C.
