Sticky Note Tips and Tricks
You can change the boldness, size, color, and orientation of letters and words on your Sticky Notes in Virbela!
You do so by typing commands inside of these symbols: <>. When you type inside those symbols, the command you typed will vanish, and then you just type what you need the Sticky Note to say.
Ex. If you wanted to type Hello! on a Sticky Note and make it bold, you would start by typing <b>. The <b> would immediately vanish after you type it, so you would then continue to type Hello! You will notice that now the Hello! is displayed in bold. In the example below we have Hello! in bold and in regular letters.
For single letters on Sticky Notes, we use sizes of 300px to 350px. You can see an example of this and other commands in the next 3 Sticky Notes.
Note: The default size of letters in Sticky Notes is 35px
The Maximum Size of letters that can be displayed on Sticky Notes is 350px.
On the following Sticky Notes you can see we have large green letters, the commands on each Sticky Note that were typed before the letter were: <color=green><size=350><align=center>.
Note: When typing a style command, the command will vanish, this is normal. If the command is accepted, when you type a letter, number, or symbol, it will reflect the style of the command.
On the following Sticky Note, you can see various commands used in the same Sticky Note.
Play around with the below commands to see what all you can do!
-
<size=n> Changes the size of letters in Sticky Note. You can change the number n to any number between 1 and 350.
- You can also do <size=+n> where n is a number, so it increases the size in relation to what you already have.
- <align=center> You can change this to Left or Right
-
