> Would you prefer a notebook of white sheets, or hundreds of different blurry image backgrounds?

Weird tangent, but I used tracing paper over piece of graph paper for notes for a while. I liked it because I could use the graph paper for drawing my figures or align my text, but then have something more aesthetically pleasing and nice for reading after. I find reading on graph paper annoying, due to the vertical lines.

Anyway, I can’t think of any way that a transparent OS window could be similarly helpful.

You might get on with a Whitelines pad[0]?

Oh, that is neat. These days I’ve just settled on a regular lined notebook (no graphs) because my figures don’t need to be so precise (no more fields-and-waves lectures for me).
