Themes in Handy Note

Learn how to use built-in themes and create custom themes to personalise the look of your sticky notes.

Handy Note lets you change the appearance of each note using themes. Choose from seven built-in themes or create your own custom themes with full control over colours and fonts.

Choosing a Theme

To change the theme of an individual note:
