LOL, your welcome Myndmelt, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Yeah, it would be nice to have an option for custom colors.

Yeah a color picker and even the option to put in the RGB values, that would be sweet. I think they could also let you picky a sticky note theme. I know I could imagine a nice little glassy 'gloss' sticky note on my desktop.
