YoloMouse News

First half of a major update...

The feature focus is now customization, starting with a new cursor editor. This is an initial version that supports regular cursors (.cur). Next update will add animated (.ani) and inverted color support.

Cursor size has been increased to the maximum allowed size of 256.

Otherwise routine fixes/maintenance as reported by the community. Thanks as always for the feedback. Some issues I could not reproduce, so I had to make a best guess at the problem and therefore fix. Please let me know if its better :) .. or worse :(

Now for a slightly bigger update.

A new feature has been added to the cursor picker menu (CTRL ALT C) that shows all discovered game/app cursors instead of just the cursor you were hovering over. This allows you to rebind all game cursors in one go. It also makes it easier to rebind cursors that only appear briefly such as the gauntlet cursor in Diablo 3.

This was also an opportunity to redesign the cursor picker after much feedback. The layout was updated to support above feature, some buttons were relocated to where they make more sense, default and hidden cursor binding has been made more visually clear.

The hidden cursor has also been given a much asked for "static" feature. This simply prevents it from moving, which applies to games like GW2, FF14, WOW.

And several fixes and tweaks :)

UPDATES

• updated: redesigned cursor picker
  
• new: made all discovered app cursors selectable in cursor picker, instead of just current visible one.
  
• new: cursor picker option: "static" for hidden cursors. this prevents movement of the hidden cursor. intended for games like gw2, ffxiv, wow. not yet supported in dedicated fullscreen.
  
• fix: default language always being english
  
• fix: inverted cursor not showing in cursor picker
  
• fix: elevated 32bit games like DAOC and sometimes LOL not working.
  
• fix: reopening existing cursor picker focuses current cursor, instead of first chosen one.
  
• fix: improve font scaling at higher DPI
  
• fix: ym not starting from a remote desktop session
  

NEXT

• new: anticheat bypass to hide the game cursor for AC protected games.
  
• improve: current cursor picker ui: tooltips, preview buffs
  
• new: cursor editor
  

LATER

• customizable + scriptable 3d cursors
  
• steam workshop and something equivalent for regular version

Hi. Short break, back in action for more updates :)

Starting with a small one to address some concerns built up recently. First being a big fix affecting normal (non-admin) windows account users and fix that made Windows think YM wasnt responsive

Then a few QoL updates including Chinese language support, DPI scaling, and several cursor changer menu buffs.

The planned feature to select from existing known game cursors was almost ready, but moved off to next update to reassess the UI presentation.

UPDATES

• new: UI now scales with windows DPI settings
  
• new: Chinese language support
  
• update: reworked how YM starts to as admin. this provides several QoL improvements and fixes some major issues for regular account users.
  
• update: cursor changer menu: will now prioritize changing the game cursor over a window cursor. this only applies if a game uses a normal windows cursor (like hourglass, arrow, etc).
  
• update: cursor changer menu: notify when changing windows cursor.
  
• update: cursor changer menu: refocus/repick if activating while already in the background. this minor QoL change fixes alot of usability confusion :)
  
• fix: windows sometimes treating YM as unresponsive
  

NEXT

• improve: current cursor picker ui: tooltips, preview buffs
  
• new: cursor picker: show selectable list of all known game/app cursors to bind instead of just currently visible cursor
  
• new: add option to prevent hidden cursor movement. for 3rd person games like GW2 and WoW.
  
• new: anticheat bypass to hide the game cursor for AC protected games.
  

LATER

• cursor editor for basic cursors
  
• customizable + scriptable 3d cursors
  
• steam workshop and something equivalent for regular version

More polishins and fixins...

Added right-click taskbar menu for faster access to key settings and actions.

When changing windows cursors, picker menu (CTRL ALT C) now offers option to only change for the focused app instead. Note that directly rebinding some windows apps is not yet fully supported (example: calculator).

Otherwise several key fixes. One major one should tackle most multimonitor issues. Another prevents Steam Overlay from overlaying YM.

UPDATES

• new: taskbar right click menu. moved shutdown button from settings here.
  
• new: in cursor picker: if chosen cursor is windows cursor, offer option to change cursor for that app only (instead of globally)
  
• update: cursor picker layout
  
• fix: several multimonitor issues by moving the overlay to the monitor with the cursor, rather than having a single giant overlay for all
  
• fix: "start with windows" not working for basic windows accounts
  
• fix: prevent steam overlay from hooking into YM
  
• improve: cursor bind logic for some games
  

NEXT

• improve: current cursor picker ui: tooltips, locale, preview buffs
  
• new: cursor picker: show selectable list of all known game/app cursors to bind instead of just currently visible cursor
  

LATER

• cursor editor for basic cursors
  
• customizable + scriptable 3d cursors
  
• steam workshop and something equivalent for regular version

Polishes and Fixes...

Updated the settings menu to be as cute as the cursor menu. One practical improvement is an improved hotkey editing UI.

YM now only runs as admin. This simplifies things such as removing a related setting and the need to nag about it for several games. The admin (UAC) prompt should only appear once (introduced in a previous update).

Otherwise several needed buffs and fixes based on your feedback :)

UPDATES

• update: rework settings menu
  
• update: always run as admin
  
• improve: hidden cursor support for apps that misuse this feature. this fixes ping UI issues in LoL.
  
• fix: prevent hotkey activation when AltGr key is pressed
  
• fix: ignore simulated input to fix POE apps triggering YM hotkeys
  
• fix: clicking taskbar icon sometimes opening taskbar options
  
• fix: lost config issue by tracking apps better
  

NEXT

• improve: current cursor picker ui: layout, tooltips, locale, preview buffs
  
• new: add option to target the app only if a windows cursor is being changed
  
• new: version notification/update
  
• new: taskbar right click menu for faster access to some actions + shutdown
  

AFTER

• cursor editor for basic cursors
  
• customizable + scriptable 3d cursors
  
• steam workshop and something equivalent for regular version
