robdyck 468 Posted October 16, 2020 I can tell you that the circle you see in some of the videos myself and others use is inherent to the screen recording app. I use Flashback Express, and it adds that circle automatically for recordings only, it isn't a cursor setting. I'll see if I can find any thing else to help you out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am not a windows user but I believe the key to Rob's direction here is the "WINDOWS SEARCH BAR". 4 minutes ago, GeneDavis said: I did and searched and see no way to get the circle behind.

I believe that is an operating system setting and not a chief specific tool. https://www.google.com/search?sxsrf=ALeKk01TSqT6oYePzLxqn1AVxmaQg5ElFw%3A1602860931854&ei=g7eJX6LmM-mG5wLC85PgBw&q=mouse+highlighter+windows&oq=mouse+highlighter+windows&gs_lcp=CgZwc3ktYWIQAzIHCAAQyQMQCjIECAAQCjoHCAAQRxCwAzoGCAAQFhAeUJESWJsYYIQZaAFwAHgAgAGPAYgBlwaSAQMwLjaYAQCgAQGqAQdnd3Mtd2l6yAEIuAECwAEB&sclient=psy-ab&ved=0ahUKEwjis96jsrnsAhVpw1kKHcL5BHwQ4dUDCA0&uact=5#kpvalbx=_h7eJX6PQOaOL5wKH6I_ACw13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robdyck 468 Posted October 16, 2020 I can't find a cursor setting that has a filled circle behind it, however if improved visibility is the goal, there are plenty of settings within the "mouse pointer" settings. You can easily increase the pointer size and color. In "additonal mouse settings" there are more options for cursor types. And there are third party apps for downloading custom cursor types, if you're not afraid of potential malware being installed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kbird1 816 Posted October 18, 2020 I use the Ease of Access in Settings in Windows 10 to make the Cursor Yellow , it is not used in all of Chief ie in the Drawing Window, but is used in all areas that Windows 10 controls. * as noted I believe the yellow circle is used by numerous Video recording Apps but can't be set as a "normal" cursor.

Ridge_Runner 127 Posted October 20, 2020 I followed Ryan's link above and the clicked on this guy. Followed his method and mine is working fine so far. It is not difficult to change but you have to watch the video and follow the steps. [edit] I was using Mick's method above before that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
