What is AngryMouse?

AngryMouse

AngryMouse is a cool tool that helps you find your mouse pointer on the screen, especially if it goes off into the void! It's similar to a feature called Shake To Find that comes with OS X, which makes the cursor bigger for a little while. If you're using Windows and think this sounds useful, AngryMouse could be just what you need! This lightweight app is perfect for anyone who struggles to spot their cursor, especially on big or multiple monitors.

How AngryMouse Works

Once you install and launch AngryMouse, it hides in your system tray. You can click its icon to get into the Settings area where you'll find two handy sliders. One slider lets you change how big your cursor gets, while the other controls how long that animation lasts.

Cursor Size and Animation

The size slider ranges from 1 to 10. If you crank it up to 10, your cursor can grow as much as two or three inches! The animation is all about how the mouse pointer looks when you shake it. When you give your mouse a good shake, it'll inflate based on the size you've set. Then after a second of shaking stops, it'll go back to normal. You can tweak the animation timing anywhere from 0 to 100 milliseconds!

A Fun Fact About Cursor Shape

If you really keep shaking your mouse forever (not recommended!), you'll notice something interesting: the pointer won't shrink back down right away! So be careful not to shake it too much!

Make It Start with Windows

If losing your cursor happens all too often for you, don't worry! You can set AngryMouse to start automatically when Windows boots up. Just head back into Settings and check 'Run at Windows startup'. It's super easy!

A Quick Summary of AngryMouse

In short, AngryMouse is a great quality-of-life tool for anyone who often misplaces their mouse pointer outside of their screen limits. When it's running, it'll blow up your cursor so it's easier to see where it is. The cool part? The program only kicks in when you're really shaking the mouse around—not during normal use—so it won't get in your way during everyday tasks.
