Notes: Knotes-like sktickies app. "The emphasis is on being convenient, unobtrusive, and easy to use." The feature set is short, but the core aspects are very well thought out. Can be rolled in-out of the title bar to allow looking "behind" the note. All notes are in one plain-text file in MyDocuments folder for ease of backup. Transparency, coloring, the title bar text is the 1st line of note's text when rolled up, and time-stamp of last change when unrolled.
