Cursor Zoom is a System Preference plugin to control the cursor size!This product is in maintenance mode, as the functionality that it provides is now built in to Mac OS X 10.4:System Preferences > Universal Access > MouseIt is recommended to use the functionality provided by Apple, and not Cursor Zoom, if you run Mac OS X 10.4 or later.
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This perfect, simple, and elegant application was perfect for what it did: to allow the user to increase cursor size. In fact, it worked so perfectly that Apple incorporated it into the OS. CursorZoom, then, was now unneeded. I currently use Universal Access to do the same job.
Kind of. CursorZoom has another feature: whenever you're ready to finish an operation, the cursor would automatically float to the window. While most of us use Appe-Q or another keyboard shortcut, the floating cursor always kept the pointer in view. You don't even have to look for it.
But the news you're hearing is right. CursorZoom is no longerr the preferred app for this function - unless you're on an old OS. It doesn't look like it's going to be revived, though there is a shareware solution for doing the "zoom" part of the functionality.
Works Great!

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I've just installed it. It is true that I could manage the arrow size with universal access (Tiger 10.4.): but CursorZoom seems to me simpler and more foolproof than universal access. I've installed wraparound: sometimes I find very difficult to find the arrov on my 17" screen.
I'd ike that the next realise of CursorZoom could be able to have a colored arrow, too.

I'm using it in class so that students can follow the cursor as we are go through projected application tutorials.
