It would be nice if we could apply 'virtual' Sticky Notes to the Monitor Screen, rather than the Diagram 'behind' the screen, so that the note is in front of you all the time rather than elsewhere on the Diagram.
(Yes, I know I could just buy a pad of sticky's and do it IRL, but, y'know . . . Paper waste an' all that)

Also, the ability to change Font Colours in the Scratchpad in order to differentiate Train ID's, Times, Platform No's etc.
When everything you write is Cyan, and you're bashing e.g. Carlisle with the 79-80 TT, it gets a little messy . . .
See attached jpeg for my Carlisle scratchpad - Note P7/P8 at top right:

There should be a sticky notes application that coems with your operating system you could use, which would operate independently of SimSig

I may be misunderstanding you but if you right click on your computer it brings up Sticky Notes. I use them to put times in

I Think Neal is after something that stays on the screen when you scroll, as a pose to the SimSig stick notes which stay where you place them.

Those would be 'attached' to the OS, not to SimSig so would be lost on a sim reload and stuck when using the computer otherwise.
The OP may be looking for a sticky note referenced to the main SimSig window (ie not the whole track diagram graphic) and so one that would save and reload with the sim.

Thinking sideways, would a new window (like 'messages'that is a free text entry box do the job ?
How many would use it ?

Definitely, Bill - but could also be saved and associated with gameplay if and when required

Just an idea
