Derald! Many thanks for this post, despite having tried all sorts of
cursor enhancments I sometimes am reduced to scanning the screen with a
magnifying glass to find the cursor, this is a super little utility.
What a lovely XMAS present, thank you.

You could elect to have the 'Control' key..tap..to show you where the
mouse is. I use the 'Large..Inverted' style. It changes color to the
background. All part of the Mouse Options in the Control Panel.

Thanks Harry, I've tried all those, it is not an eysight problem as
such, but brain damage caused by a stroke, I can sense events, such as
the movement caused by the Ctrl indicator, but cannot interpret them in
a meaningful way. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnosia
It is slowly improving; I can recognise my family now and have mostly
stopped rushing up to strangers in the street and giving them big
hugs:-)

With CrossHair I can just look for the intersection of lines and there
we are, it also makes for more precise selection etc.

Great! It works as advertised. I found that the 1-pixel and
light color with cursor enabled settings work best for me.

Thanks for the link. Merry Xmas, Happy New Year, etc.

Thanks for this post. A very useful little program for a). doing detailed
annotations on maps, but probably more usefully for b). precisely cropping
photos/images etc.

Cheers,
Amos
