How can I bring gnome sticky note back in unity?

Solution 1:

Indicator-stickynotes is maybe the applet your looking for !

Written in Python, and using GTK 3 library. Current version is 0.3, but works well. You'll have to add this ppa to enjoy this application :

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:umang/indicator-stickynotes
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install indicator-stickynotes

• You can lock/unlock, hide/unhide your notes from the panel.
• Change notes color
• Create as many post-it as you want

See here to run indicator-stickynotes on startup.

Solution 2:

See “Simple” gnome applets in Unity - stickynotes

And here How do I use the GNOME Panel in Unity? Until someone makes an indicator for it those look like your work arounds.

Solution 3:

Try Xpad : http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/08/xpad-simple-sticky-notes-for-your-desktop/

Solution 4:

I haven't tried it personally but this indicator applet tries to copy the functionality of the old notes applet.
