Dual Monitor Auto Mouse Lock 1.0.0.9 has been released as a portable application designed to confine your mouse pointer to a selected monitor. This feature is particularly beneficial when using a dual monitor setup, as it prevents the mouse cursor from straying to the other screen, especially when a foreground window is displayed in full-screen mode.
The application operates from the system tray, where users can easily access settings and customize various options, including color schemes and the appearance of the systray icon. The icon's status is visually represented by different colors: green indicates the cursor is unlocked, red signifies it's locked, a blue 'X' means it's paused, and a red 'X' denotes that it is disabled. Users can personalize these color indicators and the icon shape according to their preferences. Additionally, the application offers sound notifications for changes in status and includes a dark theme for those who prefer it.
Upon the first launch, Dual Monitor Auto Mouse Lock identifies the main screen set by Windows and monitors it for changes, locking the cursor as necessary. Users have the flexibility to specify which screen should be designated as the main one and can also exclude specific software from being affected by the application's lock feature.
Overall, Dual Monitor Auto Mouse Lock presents a user-friendly interface that is intuitive and easy to navigate, making it a valuable tool for enhancing productivity and control in multi-monitor environments.
In the future, potential enhancements could include support for more than two monitors, additional customization options for notifications, or integration with other productivity tools to further streamline the user experience in a dual monitor setup. Furthermore, the addition of keyboard shortcuts for quickly toggling the lock status could also improve usability for power users who frequently switch between applications
