This feature was requested from im_chc, and one of the features that so easy to implement and so obvious I'm not sure why I didn't think of it.
So the new feature allows you to temporary hide and show stickies such that the desktop is visible. Since I have heaps of stickies open which I use to take notes at work, things can get cluttered. The ability to quickly hide and show stickies thus becomes a useful feature.
To use the feature, it requires a 3 button mouse. With the middle mouse button (i.e the mouse wheel), double click the yellow sticky icon in the system tray. This will show the desktop and hide the stickies. Double click again and re-show the stickies. This feature is also accessible via the sticky system tray menu "Show Desktop".
The effect is not permanent, only temporary, that is, if you quit stickies, the next time stickies is loaded, your stickies will redisplay as normal.
Share and enjoy...
