Can I manage to add sticky notes on my wallpaper?

[恶习不改]

Is there such a function in Wallpaper Engine?

Or may I ask the developer to add this function into the new version? because i think it can remind me of what i need to do when i have a glance at my PC. Instead of wandering aimlessly on the Internet when I decide to search for papers for my homework.

I assume you are aware of this, but there's a sticky notes application on Windows by default. There isn't a sticky note function in Wallpaper Engine, and there isn't any keyboard input support for sharable wallpapers on the workshop for security reasons.

emmm, is there any possibility that I can add a text box on my wallpaper from properties? I don't like the sticky notes application on Windows :(

Now, I haven't done this, but here's the most probable way on acheiving this. As it's already been said, scene type wallpapers can't use keyboard input, the only inputs (at least I'm aware of) are mouse buttons and sound (if you count it as an input). Scripts can read user properties, but they can't modify them, which means you can add a textbox, that will read a user property input, but to delete it you will need to go again to the properties and manually delete the text from the textbox, so it makes it a bit annoying to go back and forth.

So, lets assume the wallpaper is an oldschool CRT monitor full of blank sticky notes all over it, you can add empty text layers on top of the sticky notes, add corresponding textboxes in the user properties and attach to them text layer's text property. This is probably the simplest way.

You can also make sticky notes as separate image layers, you can use code snippet "drag n drop" to move sticky notes (you will need to change origin of a text layer's in the code as well, so it follows the sticky note image), but this has a downside, location of all of the sticky notes will reset to the default after changing the wallpaper (if the script could read and write to the user properties, you could have used it as a memory, but you can only read, so...).

Let's assume you did them as separate layers. This way you can also make them visible/invisible with click on a button. Add a composition layer and put it over the hypothetical stack of the sticky notes, laying on the desktop (composition layer is invisible, and it will be as a button, make the resolution of the layer roughly the size of the stack). For the button you need to do scripting, I won't tell you exactly what to do, since it's not a step by step guide, just giving you the idea, but for the activation of a button you take a code snippet "CursorClick" or "CursorDown" and make sticky note layer visible/invisible. And this will probably also have a downside, I don't know exactly how it will react, but I think if all of the layers are invisible by default, they will reset to the default state after changing the wallpaper.

There might be some details I skipped, but this is my take on how to do it, I heard a quote something about limitations and how it makes progress or something like that, which I think is fitting. If you don't know nothing about coding maybe find some creators who do and maybe are willing to help/colaborate on the wallpaper, maybe ask in the "wallpaper request" tab or in the community discord server (it's pinned here somewhere).

I want a sticky notes application too .. so I trying to develop a new website just for add sticky notes. as wallpaper engine now can use keyboard by using hide the desk icons hot keys.

for now I recommend u search for to-do-list web application in google maybe u can find something useful
oh u said a sticky notes mask top of a wall paper???

I'm learning C,not ready to learn python and javascript,and I dont know how to code a script. Maybe no one ever thinks of adding sticky notes in Wallpaper engine. So I think maybe only myself can realize my thought by coding.I need to study about that.And if I succeed I will share the script with you :)

In the first year of university we were studying C++. in the second and third (this is third for me) we continued with C#, WE is written on the C++ and the editor uses custom syntax based on Js iirc, and I didn't had any problem with it, I think if you have a basic coding knowledge you'll figure this out, you can find Scene script documentation at the Wiki, if you're creating wallpapers I'd recommend to join the comunity Discord server, people are helping there.

I don't particularly care for the Sticky Notes application supplied by Windows. The third-party application Simple Sticky Notes by Simnet is so much better: https://www.simplestickynotes.com/
