IDEA: MouseLocater - automatic highlight cursor when mouse is moved again

<< < (4/4)

wr975:
Hi, as told, it was just a quick hack. I've updated it a bit.


* If you press SHIFT+WINDOWS+S it'll always show the mouse sonar until you press SHIFT+WINDOWS+S again.

* If you press SHIFT+WINDOWS+1 you'll disable it.

* If you press SHIFT+WINDOWS+2 you'll enable it.

* After the idle time, it'll only show the mouse sonar if you moved the mouse 300 pixels (line 10). Pressing a key or using the scroll wheel won't activate it.
I guess that's most of your requests. :-)


Following requests...

> the graphic would blend after the specified time.
> to have a yellow dot to show clicks

are waaaaaaaaaay too difficult for me. Perhaps Skrommel or someone else adapts MouseLocator and implements all your requests.



I came up with a script for german keyboard users

Thanks for the offer, but I'm not really interested in learning a new keyboard layout. (Old dog, new tricks...) ;) I'm sure you can find some beta testers here: http://www.essential-freebies.de.

 :) Try MovingMouse!

Helps locate the mouse when it's moved after being inactive for a while.

Just edit the waitfor, hideafter and tag to configure the settings.

Hi wr975 and Skrommel,

thank you both for your great little programs. I was (still am a bit) ill -- so the longer delay in answering. I test both programs. I think wr975's solution is still sometimes generating wrong "sonars". I tried to hack both solutions, but none of my hacks was better in the end. Currently I'm using Skrommels solution, but will come back later to try to improve upon one of your solutions.

Thanks alot for your help!
Peter
