I suppose it will be nice if we can have some margin of 10-15 pixels, then the text will be not so close to the border of the window and my bleeding eye will read much easier. Also I would be very satisfied if I have some option to set font name and size, exactly as in Notepad, and I would be totally satisfied if I can hilite some words, I would prefer phosphor green :-) Otherwise, a totally good little program which saved me a lot of time and does exactly what I want.

I agree with most posters - I use this program daily and think its wonderful, and definitely appreciate having this kind of ability without needing Outlook (spit spit) open constantly for notes.
Some things I'd like to see:
* Option for user specified location for notes file
* Font colour/size/style change for whole note (don't need pissy pieces of text here and there at a time - probably too much work anyway to add RTF-style note editing)
* The redraw problem fixed! :) (remainder of menu from left clicking on the app in the system tray staying behind and needing to drag something like one of the note windows over it to make it redraw - doesn't always happen, seems to be intermittent)
* Source code release - I could try and do these things myself if I was bored enough (I guess if this thing is GPL)
Otherwise keep up the good work Tim.

This is a very nice program and i would love to use it but my eyes are bad and I need to be able to make the font larger/bold etc. Oh please could you put this change into your freeware program.
Thank you!

Hi,
I'll probably add a font/size option soon, so you can just change the default font used by all notes. I also have a nice feature done already that helps with small text, so I'll release a new version soon.
Re: the redraw problem - I'm nto sure what to do about that. I've investigated it so many times, and now it never happens on my PC (Windows XP SP1). But on some OSs it happens all the time. It seems to be a Windows bug - and I'm not sure how to fix it. All I'm doing is asking Windows to show a menu, and when it goes away, Windows doesn't redraw the task bar properly...I don't really know what I can do about it.
If any programmers have any ideas, please let me know...
Tim

Had the same problem with XP SP1. Great program! Just a little annoying when I have to extend out my icon tray and then colapse it again to make the menu go away totally.

Kudos Tim! Downloaded/evaluated probably ~2dozen similar tools and this is the simplest and still one of the most versatile things going...
And now for the obligatory request...
Any chance of using a .rc or .ini file to store user preferences?
Existing functionality as preferences
- transparency [0,20,40,60,80] (0% default)
- new note hot-key (Ctrl-Alt-N default)
Desired functionality as preferences
- font type, size, color
- starting location of window
- starting size of window
- window color [cycle|random|<list of choices>]
Thanks again!

Well, I am looking at a number of things to add to Memento. Especially since I just got a PocketPC and realised there are lots of nice ways of integrating Memento with that, in particular the encryption facility I have in my development version.
The main challenge, as ever, is adding features without making the application huge or harder to use.
I'll see what I can do.
As for the prefs - you want them in a file so it's just easier to copy to other machines, or to backup..?
I have an API in my library for storing all those kind of preferences - it stores them in the Windows registry, but there's no particular reason why it couldn't also have an option to store them in a .ini or .rc style file instead. Which would mean there would be an option in Memento to control that choice, but apart from that, the Memento source code would be unchanged. Which is always nice.
