How to Change the Color of a Sticky Note in Windows 7 and Windows 8
Information
Sticky Notes allows you to type and leave a Post-it type note on your desktop until deleted.
This tutorial will show you how to change the color of a new or existing Sticky Note to be either Blue, Green, Pink, Purple, White, or Yellow in Windows 7 and Windows 8.
Sticky Notes is not available in the Windows 7 Starter and Home Basic editions.
Here's How:1. Right click on a blank space in the Sticky Note (StikyNot.exe) that you want to change the color of, and select the color that you want it to be. (See screenshot below)
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.
You could also type the text in any format and color you like in WordPad (C:\Windows\write.exe), then be able to copy and paste it from WordPad into a Sticky Note keeping the same format and color.
In addition, the free program Stickies has a lot features.
Hope this helps,

Hello, I've silly question, does by default the canvas/text area of sticky note on classic theme, follow the window colour of the text area? is that by design? and why?
Take example on the attachment.
