I suspect this is a bug in the Stickies app (they should recognize when the external monitor has been removed, or when the monitor is resized while the app is running), but this workaround has worked for me.

Quit Stickies (this saves the position relative to the current screen size)Īfter doing all of this, the Stickies should now be on-screen.

Launch Stickies.app (this gets them to notice that the resolution has changed).

Resize the resolution of your PowerBook/iBook.

Quit Stickies.app (when you see some are off-screen).

If someone knows a better way, feel free to post it, but be sure to test that it actually solves the problem rather than 'It should work this way' - as I tried some of those, and they didn't actually work for me.

If you’d like to hide all the desktop icons, click View at the top. The next time you go to use your Stickies, you may find that they have moved off-screen (that is, they still believe that you have the other, larger monitor attached).įixing this is simple, but it takes several steps which have to be completed in the order shown. To remove icons from your Mac desktop, you can eithr drag the icon to the Trash or right-click on it and select Move to Trash.

If you use Stickies (and are using 10.3 or newer) and have them display on a larger, external monitor with your Powerbook or iBook, you may have issues if you remove the external monitor.
