a smart default auto-fills from the first body line until you set a custom name\n- 💾 Auto-saves note content, title, position, size, theme, and last-edited time every 5 seconds\n- 🎨 **7 color themes** — Yellow, Green, Pink, Purple, Blue, Gray, Charcoal\n- ✍️ **Rich text formatting** — Bold (`Ctrl+B`), Italic (`Ctrl+I`), Underline (`Ctrl+U`), Strikethrough (`Ctrl+Shift+S`)\n- 📋 **Bullet lists with nested sublists** — Toggle with `Ctrl+Shift+L`; `Tab` indents to a sublist (style cycles ●→○→■), `Shift+Tab` outdents; `Enter` continues, `Shift+Enter` breaks out\n- 🪄 **Collapse / expand** — double-click anywhere on the title bar outside the title to collapse a note to just its header\n- 🖱️ **Resizable from all 8 edges and corners** — no OS chrome needed\n- 🧩 System tray integration with a **Show Note ▶** submenu listing open notes, sorted by most recently edited\n- 👁️ \"Show All Notes\" support to bring all notes to the front\n- 🚀 **Launch on system startup** — on by default for new installs; toggle in Settings to disable. The app auto-launches quietly to your tray on login, restores your saved notes, and never pops a blank window at you when there's nothing to show\n- 🟢 Packaged as a **Snap app** for easy Linux installation\n\n---\n\n## ⚙️ Installation\n\n### 🧩 Option 1 – From the Snap Store (Recommended)\n\n```bash\nsudo snap install stickynotes-dabobroto\n```\n\n---\n\n### 💻 Option 2 – Run from Source (Development Mode)\n\n1.
