Description:Modern computers with multiple high resolution displays present us with the "where is my mouse" problem. myPoint solves it using two different techniques - momentary or permanent mouse locator and permanent mouse halo with a free online gallery. • Momentary mouse locator is a visual effect active up to few seconds. It can be animated or static. • Permanent mouse locator is only static. • Permanent mouse halo highlights the mouse cursor using an image shown around it. Both tools are highly customizable: geometry, transparency, animation speed, hotkeys, mouse gesture, events. Mouse Locator reveals the mouse cursor position with a gently animated or static ring - just press a hotkey or wave with the mouse. Features: • Locator activation: - Hotkey combination. - Single modifier key. - Mouse gesture. - Mouse movement between screens. - Mouse movement after a period of inactivity. • Locator customization: - Colors and opacity. - Size and thickness. - Animated or static. - Animation speed and repetition. - Momentary or permanent. • Visible in full screen on all monitors. • The locator module can be disabled. Mouse Halo is an image permanently shown around the mouse cursor. The classic halo is a ring surrounding the cursor. However any image can be used as a halo source. Even more the image can be positioned aside of the cursor. A free online halo gallery is available in myPoint preferences panel, giving an easy way to import new halos. The user can create its own halos too. Features: • Halo activation: - Hotkey to toggle the halo visibility. - Hotkey to show the next halo from the predefined halo set. • Halo customization: - Size. - Opacity. - Rotation speed and direction. - Offset from mouse position. - Flip, shrink or cut the image. - Select preferred halos in so-called halo-set. • Preinstalled halo pack. - Classic: daisy chain, ancient ornaments, fan, amber mosaic, ring shadow. - Reading lines: thin, thick, stick shadow. - Rulers: horizontal, vertical. - Crosshair, big arrow. - Diagonals: two stars, twin spark. • Free online halo gallery. - The gallery is accessible from preferences panel. - Browse & click to import new halos. - Never-ending update of new halos. • Unlimited user created halos. • Visible in full screen on all monitors. • The halo module can be disabled. myPoint supports multiple users, screens and desktops. It is built on Apple's security paradigm - sandboxing - in this way it is reducing the threat of rogue code and malicious software. Note: When myPoint is running, no icon is shown in the Dock. All the control is through a menu in Menu-bar Extras.
