Mouse Utilities: Cursor Highlighter

[ArkEngel]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

When turned on, a halo (similar to mouse highlighter) stays on around the cursor. Perhaps have a different option for CROSS HAIRS to have HIGHLIGHT ALWAYS ON instead.

Options could be:

• Highlight Color
• Radius size
• Opacity
• Border Size
• Border Color

Scenario when this would be used?

Useful for when sharing screen:

• Presentations
• Creating Video Tutorials
• Classroom setting

Supporting information

There seems to be another app out there "Auto-Hot Key" that has similar functionality. https://www.autohotkey.com/

I think you're referring to Cursor Highlighter from Luc Boisvert which is an AutoHotkey script.

I agree. I thought I could replace Boisverts cursor highlighter script with power toys' highlighter, but the features in Boisvert's script better fits my purposes and provides more options.

Boisvert's highlighter:

1. is constant
2. left and right clicks can have different sizes as well as colors
3. Highlight doesn't "stay in place" after clicking, it follows the mouse.

I would love it if these features were available in Power Toys' mouse utilties instead!
