XFCE-Notes alternatives

Dear #XFCE lovers,

I found a decent alternatives for the (now) unsupported Xfce-Notes it is called #XPAD, it is available in the #Debian repositories and it looks decent integrated with XFCE and Debian / #Devuan. It works quite well hence warmly recommended!

Description: sticky note application for X
 This program consists of independent pad windows, each is basically a text box
 in which notes can be written. Xpad attempts to emulate the look of postit
 notes, although the look of the notes can be customized any way you like.

As you can see it requires only a standard GTK environment.

Looks like my days with Linux are numbered. Trying a FreeBSD variant, GhostBSD on my laptop. It has everything I want as default such as EVERYTHING WORKS, no annoying quirks, wifi works, touchscreen and touchpad delightfully works, XFCE desktop defaults are amazing, and it's fast and minimalist. No insane things like #systemd or a complicated boot, but the bliss of OpenRC. The defaults for the terminal are amazing and love the fonts. The person who did this takes a working desktop seriously. I couldn't have done a better job myself.

Ayé, je suis sous Mageia 8, bon pas sans boulettes qui m'ont amenée à essayer quasiment tous les environnements de bureaux proposés pour revenir à un XFCE configuré à la main. J'ai gardé, mes fonds d'écran, dont celui que j'ai dessiné pour l'écran principal, et redessiné presque toutes les icônes du tableau de bord. Peut-être un future thème d'icônes pour XFCE ?

Et alors oui, il n'y a rien dessus, c'est volontaire.

Tout a été dessiné avec Inkscape.
