minimizing and previewing sticky notes

Submitted by blueduck12 on January 24, 2010 to Usability

Problem: it would be nice to be able to tuck away notes (all or individual notes) where they wont obsure desktop space as well as keeping it easy to view them

Solution: (its explained in the image)
this idea was adapted from: http://www.windows7taskforce.com/view/3689#comment

yes aero peek can be used insted but its better to have the information next to the window in focus (e.g. comparing notes or entering information)

Severity: Low

Impact: Low

Status: Not fixed

I really hate it when people say "Aero Peak" instead of "Aero Peek". To misspell it in this way is to completely misunderstand the name of the feature.

TOTALLY WITH bluefisch200... The gadget is WAY MORE useful than his successor.
