Is there a way to 'stick' stickies to the desktop?

Forget about the one in Dashboard. Go into your Applications folder and look for a program there called "Stickies." These will stick to your desktop.
Even "stickies" the program doesn't really stick to your desktop... they float in layers just like any other window does. So in answer to your question, I don't know of any program that actually lets you "stick" the note there, although I wish they'd develop it.

I am referring to the the stickies app, not the widget. I don't like that they float, I'd ike to have them on the desktop. Ah well...
Interestingly, in another thread ( https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/136592/ ) there is discussion of a program called Amnesty going shareware; that program, it would seem, allows you to have always-on Dashboard widgets that you can set to always be at desktop level. Combine that with the Dashboard Sticky widget, and it would seem you've got exactly what you're looking for.
Unfortunately for you, it would also seem that it's going to cost you a $20 shareware fee now. Worth at least a test-drive, though, and you can tell us if it works.

Funny you mention that because I posted that amnesty is going shareware....lol. Anyways, I didn't even think of doing it that way. Too bad they're going shareware.
Heh... I certainly failed to notice the obvious. I should pay more attention to names before I post.acedickson said:
If you use the stickies app, you can set a 'sticky' so it stays on top of all windows. Not sure whether this is something someone else in this thread has described already, but if it's not, this is what I do.

I read a post several moths ago explaining how to make widgets stay on your desktop permanantly. I now have the weather widget permanantly on the desktop but want it gone, and i cant find the post that tells me how to undo this. Does anyone know how to make this go away????
