Bug#428170: gnome-applets: sticky notes fade in/fade out
Good Times

Package: gnome-applets
Version: 2.18.0-3
Severity: wishlist
I think it might be useful if stickynotes could fade in/fade (using
transparency settings) out on
some interval. The idea is that it would not take focus away from
whatever window is currently being typed in or anything. The idea is that
it would just remind the user that they have notes, give them an
opportunity for a quick read and then go away.
the interval should of course be configurable as i would probably want
something like that hourly, but others might want it less/more frequent.
Not sure how useful this request sounds to others but I believe it
would help me keep notes "in mind" and maybe others.
Possibly a "reminder window" where notes cycle might do the same
thing...I'm rambling a bit here, I just wanted to get this *idea* out there
