DESCRIPTION

Fine, now you have a lot of screens at your personal computer - but: Where is the mousepointer?

MouseFinder shows a small icon with an arrow, that exactly points to the actual position of the mousepointer.

With the left mouse button you can move the MouseFinder icon to every position on the screen where you want it.

To set the position on startup, define it in the configuration file edrc/MouseFinder.cfg.

MouseFinder will be always at top most z-position, so that you also can see it, if many applications are on the screen. With its distinctive colors it will catch your eyes.

You can terminate MouseFinder like every windows application with the keys ALT+F4.

The key F1 displays an online help concerning MouseFinder.

Pressing the right mouse button over the MouseFinder icon opens the settings dialog box of MouseFinder.

Here e.g. you can select, that not only an arrow points to the mouse, but also exact mouse coordinates will be displayed as a text in the MouseFinder icon.
