This seems to happen most often on Macs with slower LCD screens like
the PowerBook, or on very large monitors - you wiggle the mouse
vainly, trying to spot the cursor. This happens to me all the time,
hence CursorBeacon. It makes the location painfully obvious - just
type a hot key and and the area around the mouse flashes, drawing the
eye toward it.
The drawing function is completely memory resident (so it doesn't
require a hard drive spin up on battery-powered Macs) yet uses
relatively little memory except when it is actually drawing the
beacon.
During the beacon's flash, memory usage is modest, with more being
required on color screens displaying thousands of millions of colors.
All beacon memory is returned to the system after the beacon finishes.
DL #1 CursorBeacon v1.0.3
Compatibility
Architecture: 68k
CursorBeacon 1.0 requires System 7. System 7 unifies the drawing
environment across all Macs regardless of the number of colors they
display, allowing CursorBeacon to use a single method for drawing and
updating the screen. This helps keep its memory needs small.
