If I'm right, panel applet is no longer supported in Unity. How can I bring sticky notes back? Is there any application or AppIndicator that has the same functionality (like show all notes when logged in)?

Not tomboy please :), I don't like its interface.

Indicator-stickynotes is maybe the applet your looking for !

Written in Python, and using GTK 3 library. Current version is 0.3, but works well. You'll have to add this ppa to enjoy this application :

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:umang/indicator-stickynotes
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install indicator-stickynotes

enter image description here

  • You can lock/unlock, hide/unhide your notes from the panel.
  • Change notes color
  • Create as many post-it as you want

See here to run indicator-stickynotes on startup.

    There are 2 big disadvantages in Indicator Stickynotes.

    1. You can't have notes of different colors

    2. There is no keyboard shortcut to hide / unhide.

    Old Sticky Notes was much simpler and better, in my opinion. I'm also looking for a way to have it on Ubuntu 12.04.

See “Simple” gnome applets in Unity - stickynotes

And here How do I use the GNOME Panel in Unity? Until someone makes an indicator for it those look like your work arounds.

I haven't tried it personally but this indicator applet tries to copy the functionality of the old notes applet.
