Before you get too excited Stripper has nothing to do with scantily clad bodies, instead you're treated to a delightful desktop notes utility designed for use with Thing and MagiC - although it can be persuaded to work under any multitasking operating system and AV-Server desktop.
Stripper can be launched from your APPS/START folder or run directly from the desktop.
After configuring Stripper with your preferred text editor and entering the text for a desktop note, the integral MagiC font selector (or other font selector) can be called to select any available font and point size.
Up to ten Stripper windows, each with its own colour and font selection, can be set up and optionally configured to auto-close after a pre-defined number of seconds. You could, for example, set up reminders to be displayed briefly at boot time, which then remove themselves leaving a clutter-free desktop, crude animation is even possible. I'd like to see this feature extended to support blinking along with a birthday alarm but as it stands Stripper is better than either of the built-in utilities provided with Ease and NeoDesk.
By clicking and holding down the mouse key over any window it can be dragged anywhere on-screen. A right mouse click (or [Alternate]+left click) on any Stripper window tops it - a small red dot indicates key functions now apply to this window. Messages can be Drag&Dropped onto any Stripper window via the AV protocol.
Stripper is resolution independent and saves a separate configuration file for each resolution. Full English ST-Guide format hypertext help is provided.
