I closed the settings window. How do I get it back?
Click and hold the Mouseposé icon in the dock if the icon is diplayed here. You will find the "Open Settings Window..." command there. If Mouseposé is only displayed in the menubar on top of the screen, just click that icon and select "Open Settings Window..." here.
Mouseposé does not work during Keynote presentations. What is wrong?
Nothing is wrong. When Keynote starts the presentation it puts up a "protected screen". This is a feature of Mac OS X that prohibits any other application to draw on the screen, as long as Keynote has control. If you want to change this behaviour, open Keynote's preferences, navigate to the tab "Slideshow" and check the option "Allow Exposé, Dashboard and others to use screen." You will then be able to use Mouseposé during your Keynote presentation.
Note: This feature only works with Keynote 3 and later.
Note: Microsoft PowerPoint does not seem to set up a protected screen, so Mouseposé will work during PowerPoint presentations.
As soon as I activate the Mouseposé effect, the scren turns black. Why?
To avoid this, please go to Mouseposé's settings and make sure that the radius is above 10. Furthermore ensure that your screen is set to millions of colors instead of thousands (you find this in the "Displays" section of the System preferences).
By pressing F1, F2, etc. I can only adjust the display settings but cannot activate Mouseposé. What can I do?
On MacBooks, MacBook Pros and with the newer aluminum keyboards the function-buttons (F1-F12) can only be used in combination with the "fn" button by default. But of course you can change this setting: Go to "System Preferences" and click on "Keyboard and Mouse". There click on "Keyboard" and check "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys". Then you can use F1 without pressing the "fn" key to activate the Mouseposé effect.
