Desktop whiteboard

[Ranoka]

I've had an idea for an app, and was hoping that someone else has had the idea too so i can download it.

What I want to be able to do is click on an icon in the sys tray, and get a little tool set with pens and colours so that i can draw on my desktop like a whiteboard. Then when I've finished I would click on the icon in the sys tray again, and the desktop would act like normal again but with the image/ reminders i sketched still there.

I want this cos I make mental notes on pieces of paper, and lose them and stuff.

Anyone seen a program that does this job?

Thanks :)

well, i think i have had a program that had this feature, but its long time ago...
its called ic lite... check out download.com maybe you can find it there

you could create an swf that you can draw on, then turn on Active Desktop and make the html your background. that's the best compromise I can think of :)

[Ranoka]

asphalt, would that use much of my system resources?

other problem is i wouldn't know how to make the .swf so i can draw...

see my post in this thread:

to actually save the image so you can load it later.. that's a different story kind of thing (it will involve things other than flash).. you might still wanna see my Scribble 3 (http://www.syntheticorange.com/scribble3.html) app :P

[asphaltcowboy]

[eilsoe]

I didn't say it was perfect :sure:

[asphaltcowboy]

Was just pointing that out before he thought of downloading it :)
