Stickies is wonderful in Panther with significant improvements! In the first place, text can now be italicized or underlined. In Jaguar, the only option was bold. Secondly, there is now a Window menu. Each note can be directly accessed from this menu, and by (ta-da!) control-clicking Stickies in the Dock.
Then there is Exposé. To understand the full power of this, I need to state what I assume most people know: "Minimize" (command-M) in Stickies does not send the Sticky to the Dock, it minimizes a specific Sticky in place. That means that one can have a row of Stickies, minimized to a single line of text, along the top or bottom of the screen. You can even drag these stickies on top of each other (especially if some information should not be immediately viewable by another party), or drag them so far up or down that only a tiny three or four pixel line is showing.
Now comes the great part: Exposé will pull the stickies out from the edges of the screen and "expose" each note separately, giving you instant access to each one. This works best if you have a minimal number of other screens and apps viewable. Otherwise, each sticky becomes so small as to be unreadable. For instance, with the present state of my screen, I would hide Safari and then do F9 -- although I prefer the corner of the screen shortcut (for me, upper left).
This makes Stickies a wonderful place for short- to intermediate-term storage of small items of information, since you can have quick access to them without them cluttering up the desktop. Bravo, Apple!
