I used to use Simplenotewidget until PR1.2. After that update, the double-tap to edit function of the widget no longer worked, and the applet has not been updated since (to my knowledge), so it is currently not useable. Since then I have been using the Yellow Notes applet. The only thing preventing me from switching to Sticky Notes is the fact that there is no visual indicator showing that there is more text to scroll down to if you have a lot of text. I use Yellow Notes as a "to-do" list, and its important to know if there are other things in the note that you need to scroll down to see. Yellow Notes shows a scroll bar when there is more text to scroll down to. With Sticky Notes, if I have a list that is larger than the default applet size, I can't tell if there is more text to scroll down to without selecting the widget and using the arrow keys to scroll down. I think Sticky Notes is the best notes applet for ease of use and customization, but I can't switch to using it unless this feature is included. (feature request )

p.s. being able to resize the applet would be great too
