MacPostit is a simple Macintosh application which allows the user to create one or more “Post-It” notes which appear as small windows containing text. The windows can be resized and repositioned anywhere on the screen. MacPostit takes advantage of System 7’s ability to run more than one application at once, so that the notes appear on the screen whenever MacPostit is running. MacPostit can then save each note to disk, remembering the text of the note as well as its position on the screen.
MacPostit allows the user to customize each individual note, and to set a default style which is remembered by the MacPostit application. Each note can have a custom font, font size, font style, text color, and note color. This information is saved with each note, along with the note’s size and location. To customize a note, click once to select the note window you wish to customize, and then select “Note Style…” from the File menu. Use the dialog box to customize the style of this note. Click on the “Use As Defaults” button to save this style as the default style for future notes.
Pull down the File menu and select “Preferences…” to enable two special MacPostit features: AutoSave and AutoLoad. AutoSave tells MacPostit to automatically save all notes to a folder called Postit Notes which it will create in your System Folder. When AutoLoad is enabled, MacPostit will automatically open every note in the Postit Notes folder when the application starts up.
To have MacPostit automatically open every time you turn on your Macintosh, place MacPostit (or an alias of the application) in the Startup Items folder located inside the System Folder.
