im looking for a drawing/paint today plugin app

**dschoenike** · #1 (**permalink**) 05-10-2009, 09:05 PM

Greetings. Does anyone have/know of a today screen plugin app that'll let you write down notes with your stylus? I had an app on my mogul that i could use to write down notes on the bottom of the today screen, but for the life of me, i cant remember what it was. Ive tried hand write memo, but that wasnt it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx

Here's the one I know of, maybe the one you're after, Dschoenike.

Hand Write Memo today plugin lets you draw on Today screen. It has some option for writing text and using different brushes to draw.

My bad, guess I blew right past the title of the app. you said you already tried.

Here's another one, although it's like $6.00 for the full version. There is a free trial. This is probably not the one you had before either, is it?

NotesToday Skin Reference Skin and Config Files

NotesToday is a today screen program that is somewhat like the good old-fashioned sticky note, in that you can leave doodles and reminders somewhere you know you'll see them: on your today screen. NotesToday has several drawing options and also allows you to save your notes as 24-bit Windows bitmap files for export.

Full Version Features

Full transparency support for capable devices
User configurable backgrounds
User configurable pen colors
User configurable pen sizes
2 drawing tools: pen and eraser
As many notes as you want
A collapsable interface, so you can make more room on your screen or hide sensitive reminders while your device is docked
An option to save your note as a bitmap anywhere on your device
Autosave so you won't lose any data if you forget to save before a soft reset
Fully configurable note height
Option to require confirmation to clear and delete notes, so you won't accidentally erase your notes
Optional note borders
Text and note borders that match your current theme colors
Options that apply on the fly, so there is no need to configure NotesToday from within the today screen control panel
Fully skinnable interface
Free upgrades for life

Trial Version Features

The trial version does not allow you to use your own config or skin files, and it limits the note save path to the default directory. It only allows you to create one note, and every time that you ise the clear button, "Trial Version" will be printed on the lower left-hand corner of the note. This text can be erased, but it will reappear each time the note is cleared. There are also a few not-so-subtle reminders that you are using a trial version of the software.

Installation

As of version 1.0.1 NotesToday will enable itself after install, so you no longer have to manually turn it on from the control panel.

If you have a PPC 2000 device, you must disable any previous version of NotesToday before you install an upgrade. To upgrade, simply download the latest trial version and install it over your full version of NotesToday. Because of the method of upgrading, you will need to keep track of your full install in case you ever need to install it from scratch again. Of course, enVision Software support will be more than happy to provide you with the latest full version install if you happen to lose your original.

Supported Devices: NotesToday is compiled to run on any device with a today screen. That is, if you have a device with PocketPC 2000, 2002, or Windows Mobile 2003, NotesToday should run on your device, and it has been tested on WM 2003, PPC 2002, and PPC 2000 devices. As of version 1.0.1 NotesToday also supports PPC 2000 devices running NOVOSEC PocketFacelift.

good finds

but when I clicked on screenshots from post #4, my av software detected some kind of virus. some im(something).exe

@dschoenike- back on my mogul, I use to use the sh't out of stoptime 2.0 to take notes, but I don't think that's what you're looking for since it doesn't have a today plugin

**santod** · #8 (**permalink**) 05-10-2009, 10:46 PM

Thanks, Goodgets. When I click the screenshots link, it takes me to a page, which, ironically has no screenshots available anyway. Screenshots link removed!

**dschoenike** · #9 (**permalink**) 05-10-2009, 10:48 PM

Thanks santod. Ill give em a try. I think i read on some freeware site, that notes today wasnt working well with newer devices (6.0-6.5) But ill check it out regardless. Thanks again for the nice finds. one i also just found, is called bugme. Lots of features http://electricpocket.com/bugme-ppc/ Lots more than i actually need, but its seeming pretty nice. Thanks again guys, and i look forward to more if you can find some
