Write on Windows Desktop
ghacks:
Mouser I would like to write directly to my desktop without having to open another software first. Desktop Messenger is more of a drawing fun program and not what I have in mind. I just want to be able to jot down short notes quickly right on my desktop. I'm currently using notepad files to do that which gets kinda messy after a while. Desktop Notepad the other program mentioned here is a) commercial and b)like all those Sticky Notes programs out there.
The other thread mentioned did not deliver a desired result as well. Ideally I would just click on a free space of my desktop and would be able to type in text that would be permanent until I would delete it.

QuickDeskNote (Scroll down the page).
"Installing QuickDeskNote (4 KB) will allow you to create quick notes on your Desktop or in any folder - in the same way as you create a new file"
To change the icon go to HKLM_Classes_QuickDeskNote_DefaultIcon rightclick on (Default) string and select modify. Replace the path to the existing icon with the one of your choice.
QuickPad (listed on top) might also serve your needs.

One of my next projects to be done is a basic overlay for other applications that will allow me to highlight areas for people to monitor (I am a training specialist within the IT industry. I train largely unskilled workers to monitor and operate specific computing functions.) I may have to teach myself Visual C# to achieve this goal so any input on this thread is welcomed. I have installed and uninstalled numerous applications trying to achieve a similar goal and none have what I need.
Features that I will need.
1. Sticky Notes - A short desctriptive movable note with the ability to scroll over and have a more elaborate message provided.
2. Hightlighter - Where I can on an overlay Highlight specific passages for instructional purposes.
3. Red Ovals - People are drawn to circling of errors or highlights. So to Circle Specific things on a screen are very handy. (Ovals are oulines of course 2-5 pixels in thickness and are scaleable to circle different sized things.
3. Blue Boxes - Outlined boxes similar to the ovals for highlighting passages in paragraphs or controls.
Thats it for me ...
