Short: Fix shaking pointer Author: mrivers@gte.net (Mike Rivers) Uploader: mrivers gte net (Mike Rivers) Type: util/cdity Architecture: m68k-amigaos Twitchy_Mouse 1.0 Flee-Ware if you've got flees, just keep 'em. BACKGROUND After getting the Amiga Designer mouse, I found that the pointer would wobble occasionally when the mouse was still. As trivial as it sounds, it interfered with scrolling, with "MouseBlanker" and "Blanker". I called up the retailer, and they sent me another, thinking it was a defective mouse. The second mouse exhibited the same behaviour, though my original A-4000 mouse did not, so that eliminated the likelihood of a CIA failure. So Twitchy Mouse was born. Essentially, it "smoothes" out the mouse input, so that the twitches essentially disappear, and removes those input events that would cause the mouse to move. Twitchy Mouse is a commodity, and all is done in a system friendly way through the Commodity system. This is not a hack, no system code is replaced/kludged/patched. USAGE Drop TM's icon in the WBStartup drawer. It supports 1 Tooltype, CX_Priority. CX_Priority should be higher than any other commodity that effects or monitors the mouse, such as MouseBlanker or and screen blanker. Using Exchange, you can have TM open a window that flashes when twitches are detected. The source is included, primarily so that it may be proofed, but anyone is free to use it as they se fit.
