With screen real estate burgeoning these last few years, one thing has seemingly remained constant - the size of our Mac OS X mouse cursor. Making it a chore sometimes to go fishing for your cursor. This can only become exacerbated on a Mac system wired for dual display using 2 x 30" Apple Cinema Displays.

One solution would be to simply increase the size of the mouse cursor under the Mouse & Trackpad chiclet of the Universal Access pane of Mac OS X's System Preferences.

Another wold be to download and install this great freeware, Mouse Locator, from 2POINT5FISH.com. A default installation paints a green target reticle around your cursor to highlight its position.

Upon installation it integrates directly into your System Preferences, making it function system-wide. There is the option to leave it on all the time or set a toggle key that will highlight the position of your cursor when required.

Our personal favourite, is the trigger delay function that allows the user to set the duration that the mouse cursor has to remain unmoved before the next movement, activates Mouse Locator.

Great for education and training to a crowd. Keep them interested in the topic instead of trying to squint and find where your mouse cursor is on the screen.
