Cyno's StickyNotes is a productive application based on object-oriented approach. Instead of a menu bar, it provides a button bar, which conserves your desktop space and offers quick access.
When you execute Cyno's StickyNotes, the main application fram and its button are displayed. Move the application any where on your screen. The next time you open the application, it will be displayed where you move it last.
From left to right, the buttons are: New Note, Save, Options, About, and Exit.
New Note - Create a new note.
Save - Immediate save. If you do not click on this button, Cyno's StickyNotes automatically saves all notes and settings after a period of time. Exiting the software by clicking on the 'X' button also saves all changes.
Options - Options dialog. Provide a way to configure Auto Save feature. In the Network tab, enter your real name, e-mail address, SMTP (mail) server, and optionally enter a signature file. These settings will be used when you e-mail notes to others. Registered users: Please enter your registration information in the Register tab.
About - Displays an About dialog for Cyno's StickyNotes. From this dialog, you can determine the version/build of the software you are running.
Exit - Exits Cyno's StickyNotes and saves all changes. Note: on some operating system (OS/2, etc.), shutting down the system causes Cyno's StickyNote to receive an exit command and saves all changes. While shutting down other operating systems (Windows, etc.) causes Cyno's StickyNotes to terminate and NOT to save all changes. You will have to experiment with your operating system and JVM.
When you open a new note for editing, Cyno's StickyNotes displays another set of tools for you to use. They are, from left to right, Font, Word-Wrap, Rename, Import, Export, Print, and Mail Note.
Font - Brings up the font dialog box, which allows you to change the font, size, style, and color. The font is only changed on the current note. Other notes on your screen are uneffected by this change. After you set a new font, the new font is used when you create new notes.
Word-Wrap - Word-wrap allows Cyno's StickyNotes to automatically wrap a line of text onto the next line, if it is longer than the current note width. The horizontal scroll bar disappears when word-wrap is enabled, and appears when word-wrap is disabled.
Rename - Rename note titles. When new notes are generated, they are named in number sequence. Using this command, you can change the title to any text string. If you leave the entry field blank, the title of the current note will be numbered in sequence again.
Import - Import allows you to import a text file into the note. Clicking on this button brings up a file dialog box. Select the file you wish to open. Click on 'Cancel' to abort the operation.
Export - Export allows you to export the current note to a text file. Clicking on this button brings up a file dialog box. Input the file name and click 'OK'. Click on 'Cancel' to abort the operation.
Print - The print function allows you to send the content of the note to your printer. Currently, Cyno's StickyNotes prints only what is displayed on the note. In the future, it will offer to print the whole note or partial note.
Mail Note - Send your note through e-mail. The function allow you to send the content of your note to other through e-mail. You must fill out the Option dialog with your e-mail address and SMTP (mail) server before using this operation.
