Notes

A Tree is a collections of Notes.

The Tree must be attached to a Dynamic Category. A Tree which is attached to a Dynamic Category can be changed to another tree easily.

With Dynamic Categories, it is possible to have an unlimited number of trees in the 8start Launcher.

To maintain a compact appearance for the 8start Launcher tree, there is no add/delete/edit/move icon shown in the Tree window. By using a mouse click on icons, it is faster and easier to manipulate Trees and Notes.
