I really could use a nice and simple text processor like that. Do you have any suggestions for one running on Windows?

@Björn: What's not so nice with (Note|Word)pad? Simple it is.

@Björn: Well, there is Dark Room (window mode and fullscreen view) and Q10 (fullscreen only). Both are freeware, have a nice set of features and can run off a USB drive. No background images, though.

Thank you for the links, Jörg. I like Q10 best. Reading about these tools I also found JDarkRoom which itself is inpired by DarkRoom (Win) and WriteRoom (Mac) but is implemented in Java.

@Robert: I agree that Notepad is simple enough to be good. What I miss is fullscreen mode, live statistics, alarm and notes (as in Q10) - helpful features while writing / editing.

Even for people with antipathy against Microsoft:
Try OneNote
It is smart text processor, surprisingly easy to use but also has some groupware features of microsoft's sharepoint and office. The omniwriter video reminds me a lot of it

I checked OneNote and it's really nice. And it has one giant showstopper: the file format. I wanted to use it, but could not.
