PadPals for Windows 95
Copyright 1997 GumbaTree software
All Rights Reserved
PadPals
============
Sticky notes for Windows. Creates an icon in the notification area of the
taskbar.
Click with the left mouse button to bring the PadPals to the top of the other
windows.
Double-Click with the left mouse button to add a new PadPal.
Click with the right mouse button for a menu from which you can
1) Add a new PadPal
2) Hide/Show all existing PadPals, should you wish to get clear access
to the desktop etc.
Once you have created a PadPal, it can be moved around the desktop and sized as
desired. Once you have entered or altered text within the PadPal, click the
tick or click outside the PadPal to accept the changes, or click the cross to
cancel the changes.
If you right-click the title bar of the PadPal, a menu will be displayed.
From here you can:
1) Delete the current PadPal.
2) Show only the current PadPal - this will hide all other PadPals, and change
the icon in the task bar to remind the user that others may be hidden.
Choosing this option also causes the PadPal to lose the 'Always on Top' state.
3) Show only the current PadPal, keep on top - this option is the same as the
previous, except that it causes the remaining PadPal to become 'Always on Top'.
This means that it will stay on top of all other windows.
4) Show other PadPals. This option only becomes available when 2) or 3) have
been used.
