Tiny Tech Tip

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with HomeRome Realty 410-530-2400 311291

I finally fixed something that has annoyed me for a while...losing my mouse arrow on my screen. I made the cursor bigger and changed the color. Simple, but wow, what a difference. I chose red, not because it’s my favorite color (that would be brown), but because it stands out. I’ll never lose it again even with two screens.

If you spend a lot of time on your computer, reviewing offers, Zooming, blogging, emailing, creating images and taking classes, this will make everything easier. I work with two monitors, and now I can instantly spot my cursor on both without hunting and squinting.

Wanna try it? Here's how:

On a Windows computer, just click Start, go to Settings, choose Accessibility, then Mouse pointer and touch. Slide the bar to make it bigger and pick a color you can see. You’ll see the change instantly.

Sometimes it’s not about being techy it’s about finally learning the simple stuff that actually helps.

Margaret Rome Baltimore 410-530-2400 (A) No tech tech tip is tiny, (B) I nearly fell off my chair laughing when I read this - I spent TWO HOURS on the phone last week walking a friend through all the possible changes she managed which made her lose her cursor - TWO HOURS and we made things SO MUCH BETTER but we STILL didn't actually find her cursor. She had the trot the thing to her local tech shop for help. Lauren

 That's quite an adventure! It’s funny how a tiny cursor can cause such a headache. At least you improved things, even if the curser was still missing!

Margaret I finally also just did that too.  Only I made my pointer black.

I may change my pointer back to black. The red is a novelty right now.

Good Tuesday morning, Margaret. This is a good tip to share. I was not aware of the options.

That's a very helpful tip. They do make the pointers so tiny they're hard to see even when they're actually there!

Good morning, Margaret... what an excellent tip. I love it! And hopefully it will work for just one screen... two screens is more than I could deal with! Mine is now hot pink (my favorite color), but I did not need it to be larger.

Since you already have yours in your favorite color, it was easy to find.

Miss Margaret Rome Baltimore 410-530-2400 - this is a great tip - one I have used in the past. 

Your favorite color is brown?

Still learning things about you.

Hi Margaret,
It never occured to me that I could change the curser (size or color). I'm going to go try that now!

That would have been another fun "educational" call. My cursor is now a prominent blue! ❤️

Hello Margaret - thanks to the reblog by Roy Kelley, I saw this post which I previously missed during the busy week.  I have bookmarked it as repetition can typically be useful for me.  In and beyond the tech-related world.

I think you will like this small change. One that we use every single time we open our screens.
