Mouse Locator - Cursor, cursor, where for art thou?
Authored by: stevebr on Feb 20, '06 08:12:30AM

I have the same issue as you (two monitors, can't find cursor) and I tried Mouseposé briefly for this purpose when you recommended in last year. I appreciate Mouse Locator: the delay to activate is a great idea and the 'always-on' nature of a system preference is a definite plus. Thanks for the... er... pointer.

As an aside: I also use a two-monitor setup with Windows (same screen sizes and resolution as my Mac) and when using Windows, I have the problem of not being able to find the cursor far less frequently. The cursor in Windows is a white arrow with a black frame -- I don't think this is a coincidence.

It would have been nice of the OS X developers to let the user invert the cursor colours when the added the ability to change its size in the 10.4 Universal Access prefpane.

Depending on your attitude toward haxies, Unsanity makes a great little app called Mighty Mouse that lets you do all kinds of nifty things with your mouse cursor.

I use it to flip my pointer for left-handed use (it is surprisingly annoying to have the pointer facing the wrong way).
