ADVICE PLS: Very high vis mouse pointer

[MichaelFisher]

I use a very large 32x32 pixel mouse pointer in Win7
I would like the pointer to be permanently surrounded by a semi-transparent 'halo' of diameter 64 pixels
Is this possible ?

I've seen this halo effect used in training videos & I would like it available to me because of my failing vision

I note that there's an option in the mouse settings under the pointers tab to make a temporary circular 'ripple' appear around the pointer when the Ctrl key is pressed
I require a permanent, non-animated & coloured-in version that's always 'On'

I don't want to use the magnifier nor any other access options

Thank you !

Something like this? Browsing Cursors on deviantART

Or like this? (sorry it's not freeware) Grab Your Audience’s Attention and Focus with Presentation Pointer

Hi TBVNZ

That presentation program could be the answer (though it's overkill in terms of features), however I will keep looking in the hope of tracking down a no cost solution

Thank you for trying ~ I appreciate your effort

You're welcome Michael. You might want to give this program a try. I use it mostly to align graphics but it may suit your needs, especially if a hi-vis color is used, Mike Lin's Home Page

I can find a use for the xhairs in Paint.Net so thanks for that Mike
Also StartupMonitor looks useful to me ~ will see if it performs in Win7

Keep up the good work !

I missed the startup monitor, think I'll give it a try as well.
