How can I bring gnome sticky note back in unity?

  • 772

If I'm right, panel applet is no longer supported in Unity. How can I bring sticky notes back? Is there any application or AppIndicator that has the same functionality (like show all notes when logged in)?

Not tomboy please :), I don't like its interface.

    Indicator-stickynotes is maybe the applet your looking for !

    Written in Python, and using GTK 3 library. Current version is 0.3, but works well. You'll have to add this ppa to enjoy this application :

    sudo apt-add-repository ppa:umang/indicator-stickynotes
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install indicator-stickynotes

    enter image description here

    • You can lock/unlock, hide/unhide your notes from the panel.
    • Change notes color
    • Create as many post-it as you want

    See here to run indicator-stickynotes on startup.

  2. See “Simple” gnome applets in Unity - stickynotes

    And here How do I use the GNOME Panel in Unity? Until someone makes an indicator for it those look like your work arounds.

  4. I haven't tried it personally but this indicator applet tries to copy the functionality of the old notes applet.
