There may not be a positive correlation between "eye exercises" and "rapid reading."

However, I want to give it a go, just to see for myself.

nkormanik:
For anyone following this thread and curious.

Found a program that comes close to what I was asking for:

From Microsoft's Sysinternals.  ZoomIt.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897434

Execute ZoomIt.  In system tray..., right-click icon, Draw.  Then press the 'w' key.

Result is a red dot that can be moved around on a white background.

I then used a separate macro program to move the red dot around as wanted.

Still not exactly what I was asking for.  But close.

c.gingerich:
Let me see if I understand right. Do you want ALL windows hidden, a solid color background with a solid color dot cursor that you can move around?

c.gingerich:
Here is a quick app I threw together. Let me know if this is what you wanted.... The colors cannot be changed yet, this is just a quick test.

nkormanik:
Chris, you've come through again.  Thank you very much.

Your program is preferable to the above mentioned Sysinternals program.  Sysinternals is a bit more bother exiting from (getting it out of system tray), whereas yours simply is the esc key.

If you feel like it at some point..., you could use, say, a light grey background.  But your black works as well.

Great job.  What a champ!
