“It’s Hard to See Your Mouse…”

“It’s hard to see your mouse…” said the prospect, “It’s pretty small.”

 

This is a very (very!) common problem, as screen resolution of computers has continued to increase, and it has a very simple solution. Do two things:

 

1.     Increase your mouse cursor size.

2.     Choose a mouse cursor style that is “filled-in” or high contrast.

 

On Mac, you’ll find mouse size adjustment in:

 

·       System Preferences

·       Accessibility

·       Display

·       Pointer…

·       (about 200% is good – move to the second mark on the scale)

 

On Windows you’ll find mouse size and fill-in choices in:

 

·       Start

·       Settings

·       Ease of Access

·       Cursor and Pointer

 

(The specific steps may depend on which version of Windows you have.)

 

Now enjoy the improved visibility your audiences will experience…!
