Colorful Sticky Notes is an Obsidian plugin that opens draggable, stackable sticker-style windows over your vault. Each sticky is backed by a normal Markdown note (default folder StickyNotes, configurable).

Features
- Floating sticky windows — Small windows above the UI; content comes from vault notes.
- Background colors — Palettes such as yellow, pink, mint, blue, lavender, and gray (stored in note frontmatter).
- Sticky list — Grid view with filters (open state, archive, color), sorting, pinning, pagination, and adjustable card size/columns.
- Sticky workspaces — Save and switch window layouts (snapshots) for different setups.
- Extras — Edge snap / auto-resize, drag snapping and grouping, restore session on startup, filename templates (Moment-style + subfolders), optional default template note.
Canvas integration
From the sticky list, drag one or more stickies via the drag handle onto Canvas to create nodes. Batch drops follow spacing and “max per row” from settings.
- Plain drag → embed content
- Ctrl drag → link to file (⌘ on macOS)
- Shift drag → embed and move original to trash (use with care)
Optional behavior lives under Canvas link in settings (default node size, auto-fit height, color sync, zoom-to-selection, drag hints, etc.).
