Mouseposé 1.2 is available from our servers. As requested by most of the users, you can now switch off the Dock icon and use a Menu Bar icon instead. Also new in this version the hot key is freely assignable, so that you can use those precious F-Keys for different purposes.

And, of course, it has been updated to work with Mac OS X Tiger.

Mike Wong from You Software posts a plug on the You Software company weblog: "I received a couple of emails since my last post asking how I made the cool spotlight in my screenshots that focused in on a specific area. I didn't do it in Photoshop like some asked, though I suppose you could do that easily enough, but I found a great free utility that does it faster than I could in Photoshop."

Ken Edwards reviews Mouseposé for Breaking Windows: "I can't believe Boinx is giving this away for free." [...] "Anyone who does demos, trade shows, or presentations should have this handy little tool. It is also great for people (like me) who have large monitors." [...] "Mouseposé feels like a mature application at 1.1, it is so polished it shines." [...] "I give Mouseposé 9 out of 10." Well, thank you, Ken! Update: Ken's article also appeared on Blogcritics.

Boinx Mouseposé (currently most popular download at Apple) caused a wave of excitement among professional Mac users. Version 1.1 of the free tool adds AppleScript support which enables interoperability with a broad range of remote control devices such as bluetooth enabled mobile phones (with Salling Clicker) and Keyboard Macro tools. It even allows you to use Mac OS X speech recognition. More info...

Brian Tiemann of Peeve Farm, "Silicon Valley-based purveyor of a confusing mixture of Apple punditry and political bile", noticed Boinx Mouseposé: "Ever have one of those moments where you see something and your hand flies up off the desk of its own accord and smacks you nervelessly across the forehead? [...] Like lightning to the temples. Brilliant!"

Jack Dolby, President of Club Mac of Hampton, writes: "I just want to pass on my thanks for Boinx Mouseposé. Maybe I should really complain... I am president of the local Mac Users Group. I used Boinx Mouseposé at our last meeting and it literally stopped the show... People there were more interested in this tool than in my presentation... But it certainly made the presentation better and I can assure you that everyone there is now familiar with Boinx if they were not before. I can assure you that this delightful utility will be present at all of my club presentations."

Rob Griffiths at Mac OS X Hints selects Mouseposé as his Pick of the Week: "Mouseposé is a simple, fun, and occasionally useful application. It will be of particular interest to presenters and those who demonstrate OS X software in large rooms. It's also useful, though, in a text editing document when you've lost sight of the I-beam cursor." Mouseposé scores 8 out of 10. Thanks, Rob!
