I use the "Sticky Notes" application font in Windows 11 all the time.

I want to change the font.  Is this possible, possibly via a registry hack?

So far, Google has let me down.

Also, are there any good free alternatives to the native Stick Notes app?

Thanks.

I love it. Have three or four stickies on my screen now. It's 100% free with no nagware popups.

Apparently yes it's possible via a registry hack.

How to Change Sticky Notes Fonts

How to change the default font in Sticky Notes?
Segoe Print is the default font in the Sticky Notes for Windows. However, it is possible to change this font style according to your preferences. In case you are in a great hurry for changing the style and font, this quick hack can be used to achieve your purpose.

However, the process includes modifying the Windows Registry Editor. So, ensure that you adhere to all the below-mentioned steps properly. Also, create a restore point to act as a backup.

Step 1: Go to Start and Run to open the Run dialog box or use the combination keys R + Win. Execute the Regedit command to open the Windows registry.

Step 2: In the registry file, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Then navigate to SOFTWARE-> Microsoft->Windows NT->CurrentVersion->Fonts.

Step 3: You will come across a list that has all the fonts available in your system. Search for the default typeface and you may then change it with the font you wish. Also, you should add the file name, which includes the name of the typeface in the data field called Value.

Step 4: It is now time to restart your PC. You can now see the newly changed font in the Sticky Notes.

Thanks!  I just downloaded it and migrated all of my notes over.

Is there a way to change the default font, color, and opacity settings?

Sure, opacity and color menu is available if you right click the "menu" bar where the note title is.

You can change note font by right clicking in the body of the note.

Thanks again.

I did see that.  I'm wondering how to change the default for new notes.
