Mouse Tracker Overlay
An accessibility overlay for people who frequently lose sight of their mouse cursor. The user chooses a familiar focus point on the screen, and the app continuously draws a customizable line between that point and the cursor so its location can be found immediately.
Never lose the cursor again.
Created with Windows Forms and C#.
- Windows Forms
The overlay needed to draw a persistent line from a user-defined point on the screen directly to the mouse cursor. Building on the Windows Forms experience I had gained in college let me focus on learning Windows-specific APIs and using them to implement that system-level behavior.
- C#
C# offered readily available technical resources and helped me keep the application as lightweight and functional as possible. The first beta still contains a serious intermittent crash, so a future code review will focus on identifying its source and producing a more reliable release for others who need the same accessibility support.
