Mouseposé: The Ultimate Mouse Finder
TMO Quick Tip - Mouseposé: The Ultimate Mouse Finder
by , 7:30 AM EST, March 17th, 2006
Large monitors, dual displays and software demonstrations all have something in common: You mouse pointer gets lost in a sea of activity. Before the advent of high resolution and HD displays, a quick jiggle of the mouse was enough to show us where our pointer was, but not any more. Enter Mouseposé.
With a quick tap of the F1 key, Mouseposé dims your screen and highlights the area surrounding your mouse pointer, making it easy to find your cursor on large displays, and to highlight areas during presentations and training. It's also handy when you are using a PowerBook or MacBook Pro in low light conditions. When your display dims to adjust to the ambient light, your mouse pointer blends in with your darker screen. Mouseposé highlights the area around it, making it much easier to click menus and on screen buttons.

Mouseposé is an application, and not a system hack, so it doesn't run the risk of stability problems. You can change its hot key from F1 to what works best for you. You can also modify the highlight radius around your mouse pointer, and change the dimmed area opacity and color.
You can find Mouseposé at the Boinx Web site, and it's free.
