Highlight Mouse Pointer during Presentations

Presentation Pointer allows you to highlight mouse pointer that makes it easy for your audience to follow your actions on the screen.

The Pointer option does provide an eye-catching cursor.
The Highlight option surrounds the mouse pointer with a geometric shape (Circle, Ellipse, Rectangle or Round Rectangle).
And the Spotlight option puts a "spotlight" shape (Circle, Ellipse, Rectangle or Round Rectangle) around your cursor and dims the surrounding area.

Activation

Toggle Hotkey
By default, you should see the key assigned as hot key for every option (Pointer, Highlight, Spotlight), which means that pressing the hot key once activates the effect. Pressing the same key again deactivates it. This is what's referred to by Toggle: The same key switches something on and off, much like a light switch at home. For example, you can press the default key F8 to active High Visibility Pointer, press the key F8 to deactive it again.

Advanced Options

A few power user options can be found in a new dialog that appears when pressing the Advanced... button in the top right of the page.
