Rollup-able Notes

Submitted by n49o7 on January 24, 2010 to Usability

The screen space gets obscured pretty quickly as soon as you have a few notes lying around. And this gets worse as the screen resolution decreases.

Make it so that right-clicking on a note's bar (the part that contains the + and the X) rolls it up, like it's been done for ages in many window managers.

right click or even as another "button"

And once you have more than one note rolled up thusly, how are you going to know which one is which? Roll them down one by one?

Color coded, or perhaps a sample of the text on top?

Hmm... the first couple of words of the note might work...
