Nice app. already really useful!
Some feature suggestions:
Some way to handle the app when last note is deleted. it keeps running in the backgound, unreachable it seems. alternatively disable the delete of the last note.
Clicking on a note should raise it above the other overlapping notes.
it would also be nice to be able to move a note without putting the desktop in edit mode.
hide all and raise all functionality. hide all should leave a small button. maybe in the toolbar? like in similar apps on linux and windows.

For the people who have the screwed up version, you should purge it before installing the new one, or simply reinstall.
For me, the following code from a root terminal worked:
Code:
start sticky-notes apt-get install sticky-notes

The reason:
- Sticky Notes doesn't run inside hildon-home, thus the only way to make the widgets re-appear on reboot is starting it in the background
- I want only one process handling all of the notes
- If you click on either the icon, or "add widget", the background process is called and it displays the new note
- When running in the background, it really doesn't do anything, just sits there doing nothing. It doesn't use CPU in this state, thus doesn't hurt your battery, either
I hope I could provide a meaningful explanation!
(I also added this one to the FAQ section of the original post.)

Nice app indeed.
I'm using Yellow Notes and like his feature to have multiple notes within one window.
Maybe you can add this as an option to Sticky Notes?

Okay, I've received some very good suggestions already, keep them coming!

Perfection would be the ability to 'scribble' notes

About 'bold'-ing of a text, just have a setting if yo have the first line bold or not. I doubt most people will need more then that.
Would it be possible to have it display one of the conboy notes? Or maybe just have it be possible to point to a file for the note contents. (that way i could point it to the appropriate note file from conboy)
Thanks alot!

Should every note point to a file or just the ones you want?
Also, should they delete the file when you close the widget?

Any possibility for the following:
- ability to resize the note size (so can fit in an increased number of notes on one desktop);
- ability to have multiple pages on each note which you cycle through like in yellow notes applet so that you can have more than one note on the desktop but only take the space of one;
- ability to bold text so that the bolded text can function as a heading for the note;
- ability to change font and text size and color.
