SpotOnTheMouse 2.5.9 + Key

SpotOnTheMouse is a small Windows application whose purpose is to help you make your mouse cursor more visible when you make a presentation by adding various animated elements that follow your cursor, such as colored halo, mouse image, or crosshair.

Straightforward layout

You are welcomed by a clean feature lineup that allows you to carry out most operations with minimal effort. You can enable or disable the mouse animated viewing mode with just a few clicks.

Make your cursor easier to follow

SpotOnTheMouse gives you the possibility to add various animated mouse objects that automatically follow your mouse cursor, such as click indicator (a red circle that appears when you perform a left-click mouse operation and a blue circle when you carry out right-clicks), image revealing a virtual mouse (black or white), halo (a yellow area moving along with the mouse pointer), or crosshair (arrows above and below the pointer that indicate the direction of the mouse cursor).

What’s more, you can make the utility reveal keyboard indicators on the screen, such as function (e.g. F1, F2), system (e.g. Pause, Escape), input (e.g. return, delete, back), navigation (e.g. page up or down), and character (e.g. Space) keys, as well as mouse buttons.

Configuration settings

For each of the aforementioned animated elements, the program comes packed with several tweaking parameters that help you alter the size, adjust the transparency, and pick the desired color. Plus, you are allowed to hide the mouse image, halo, and cross hair when the mouse is inactive and text is entered, as well as enter a delay time.

Performance

Tests have shown that SpotOnTheMouse accomplishes a task very quickly and without errors. It leaves a minimal footprint on system resources, so the overall performance of the computer is not hampered.
