Unlock hidden features within Stickies
Authored by: roncross@cox.net on Jun 15, '04 11:18:20AM

After you check the feature(s) that you are interested in using, please save the document. Don't worry, all your changes are reversible in case you want to change back. In most cases when you save, the file will make a backup copy of itself. So there are no worries.

I also wrote a script that will help you navigate to the document of interest. If you run this script, it will take you to the Stickies window. From there,you will just have to click on the window Stickies and you will see the show info panel change to "NSTextView Info" Just follow the rest of the hint in the original post from there.

To run the script use will need to make sure that you have "Enable access for assistive devices check" in the Universal Access Pane of System Preference. You may also have to change the property myfile location if you have your hard drive named something other than "Macintosh HD"

[code]
property myfile : "Macintosh HD:Applications:Stickies.app:Contents:Resources:English.lproj:StickiesDocument.nib"


tell application "Interface Builder"
activate
open myfile
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell application process "Interface Builder"
click menu item "Show Info" of menu "Tools" of menu bar item "Tools" of menu bar 1
perform action "AXRaise" of window "Stickies"
end tell
end tell

[/code]

Unlock hidden features within Stickies
Authored by: spozgay on Nov 20, '04 04:45:47PM

This info worked great for making auto-hidden scroll bars under 10.3.5. But I upgraded to 10.3.6 and now my Stickies won't expand from the single-line/collapsed window. And of course I overwrote the orignal backup *.nib file, so no going backwards for me.

Anyone know where I can download Stickies.app from??

That's funny, I upgraded to 10.3.6 and I didn't have any problems. My stickies still work as advertised. You can probably find the original stickies.app on your installation cd.

thx
