Back in April while I was still planning the rebranding and subsequent re-launch of WinExtra I was still writing a bunch of Windows related stuff at what has become Shooting At Bubbles (most of which will be moved here). One of the more popular posts was the one I wrote lamenting some of the deficiencies of the Sticky Notes app in Windows 7.
Well today that post paid off in one sense in that someone was good enough to post a great tip when it comes to using Sticky Notes. While we still can’t change the font being used other than via cut and pasting of text we can now at least change the font size
The way you do this is as follows:
Ctrl + Shift + > makes the font bigger
Ctrl + Shift + < makes the font smaller
And that’s it
Enjoy.
You can also use ctrl+mouse scroll up/down to change the font size for the whole note.

This info was very helpful. I was getting frustrated at not being able to change the font size. Something I was doing was “accidentally” making the font bigger but I could not find any way to make the font smaller. Thank you!

It seems that the font can be set only by pasting in text with the font you already want.
