I've the second script in holominds first post in this thread to work. It is wonderful! But that script has no pointer or cross or anything that shows the mouse position. I tried to import those parts from some of the scripts later in the thread but then I failed.

Can someone help me out here? What is the simplest way to "add on" some small mouse position helper to that first script?

Most of all I'd like to have only a small but noticeable black dot that moves in sync with the mouse position.

(I plan to use the script on one monitor to navigate on an second monitor that is in another room, that's why I need more detailed mouse position information)

Ok, I've gotten the hang of how to draw the cross the way I want it now. To do that I had to disable the part in holomind's script that makes sure nothing outside of the display gets painted. This change results in a type of "ghosting" in those outside areas, when moving the mouse to the edge of a screen.

Can I avoid that ghosting by making the script repaint all outside areas with black?

[jamn]

I have an idea: could the script at each repaint first fill the whole area with black pixels and then immediately repaint it again according to the pointer position? That could remove ghosting. But maybe it would slow things down or create som black flickering. Can anyone help me test that? I suspect I should use some other bitmap function for that, but I can't get the hang of it. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms532355(VS.85).aspx

I'm searching for a full size screen magnifier (magnify the entire screen.)
Somehow the screen magnifiers I found on this forum don't work when your mouse is in the magnifying area, unless you open a menu (for instance right click.) I'm using windows vista.
Anyone has a solution to that?

I've been using "SetWinDelay, -1" for many of these and it makes all the windows move smoother. "SetBatchLines, -1" and "Process, Priority,, High" along with a repaint timer around 5ms makes that part somewhat smoother for me.

If I wanted to fix the magnify window and not have it follow the mouse and only magnify whats under the window how would i go about this? can I modify this script to do this? I'm new to ahk so any help would be great.

Thanks,

If I add magnifier radiobuttons to the Magnifier window, it works initially, but then a click on a radiobutton and it no longer magnifies.
It seems like click on radiobutton activates a repaint routine that blocks or over-rides the MagRepaint. How can I turn that off so Magnify resumes?
