A recommended size value is around 80-120. Be careful, as an excessively large highlight can obscure important content on the screen.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>\ud83c\udfa4 For Presentations<\/strong><br \/>\nFor presentations using large screens or projectors, a large highlight is effective for visibility from a distance. A recommended size value is in the range of 100-150. Adjust it considering the size of the venue and the distance to the audience.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>\ud83c\udfac For Screen Recording and Tutorials<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen recording software usage or work processes, a small highlight is suitable as it clearly indicates the pointer&#8217;s position without interfering with detailed tasks. A recommended size value is around 60-100. <\/p>\n<p><strong>\ud83d\udcbc For General Business Use<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you want to emphasize the pointer during daily work, a small size that doesn&#8217;t excessively obscure the screen is good. A recommended size value is in the range of 50-80. <\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"23_%F0%9F%91%81%EF%B8%8F_Real-time_Preview\"><\/span>2.3 \ud83d\udc41\ufe0f Real-time Preview<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When you adjust the slider, the highlight appears around the mouse cursor on the screen in real-time, allowing you to immediately check and find the appropriate size in a real usage environment.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_%F0%9F%94%8D_Adjusting_Highlight_Transparency\"><\/span>3. \ud83d\udd0d Adjusting Highlight Transparency<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Transparency settings play a crucial role in balancing screen readability and prominence by adjusting the visual weight of the highlight.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"31_%E2%9A%99%EF%B8%8F_how_to_Set_Transparency\"><\/span>3.1 \u2699\ufe0f how to Set Transparency<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In the upper right corner of the Pointer tab, there is a &#8216;Transparency&#8217; label and a slider.

The recommended transparency is in the range of 30-50%. If it&#8217;s too transparent, the highlight effect may be minimal.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Dark Backgrounds<\/strong><br \/>\nFor black or dark backgrounds, set a moderate transparency so that the highlight does not excessively obscure the screen. A recommended transparency of around 40-60% is appropriate. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Complex Backgrounds<\/strong><br \/>\nFor complex screens with a lot of text or images, increase the transparency so that the highlight clearly indicates the pointer&#8217;s position without obscuring the content. A recommended transparency is in the range of 50-70%. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Consider Color Contrast<\/strong><br \/>\nAdjust transparency considering the contrast between the selected highlight color and the background. If the color combination has high contrast, increasing transparency will still make it noticeable, whereas for similar colors, transparency should be lowered for effectiveness. <\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"33_Recommended_Transparency_Settings_by_Situation\"><\/span>3.3 Recommended Transparency Settings by Situation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Presentations<\/strong><br \/>\nA moderate transparency is good to attract the audience&#8217;s attention without obscuring the slide content. The recommended value is 40-60%. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Detailed Tutorial Recording<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen detailed work processes need to be shown, set a high transparency to ensure screen visibility. The recommended value is 60-80%. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Demos Requiring Emphasis<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen a specific part needs strong emphasis, create a distinct highlight with low transparency. The recommended value is 20-40%. <\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_%F0%9F%8E%A8_Changing_Highlight_Color\"><\/span>4. \ud83c\udfa8 Changing Highlight Color<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The highlight color is an important factor that affects brand identity, harmony with the background, and viewer attention.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"41_%F0%9F%8E%AD_how_to_Use_the_Color_Picker\"><\/span>4.1 \ud83c\udfad how to Use the Color Picker<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>At the bottom center of the Pointer tab, there is a color selection area.

Click the desired location with your mouse to specify the exact hue. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Direct RGB Value Input<\/strong><br \/>\nIf a specific brand color or exact color is needed, you can directly input RGB values.

Highly saturated colors such as blue, red, black, and purple are recommended. These colors are particularly effective for presentation slides or document work.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Colors Suitable for Dark Backgrounds<\/strong><br \/>\nOn black or dark backgrounds, bright colors are easily visible. Yellow, cyan, white, and light green are recommended. These are suitable for recording coding screens or dark mode interfaces.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Colorful Backgrounds<\/strong><br \/>\nFor complex backgrounds with mixed colors, universally noticeable fluorescent yellow or bright orange are effective.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"43_%E2%9C%A8_Color_Contrast_and_Readability\"><\/span>4.3 \u2728 Color Contrast and Readability<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The primary purpose of the highlight is to clearly convey the pointer&#8217;s position, so readability should be the top priority when choosing a color.<\/p>\n<p><strong>High-Contrast Color Combinations<\/strong><br \/>\nColors opposite each other on the color wheel, such as red and white, or blue and yellow, provide high contrast. This is effective for immediately drawing the viewer&#8217;s attention. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Utilizing Brand Colors<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you are creating corporate presentations or branded content, it is best to use colors that match your brand identity. However, if readability is compromised, adjust the saturation or transparency accordingly. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Considering Accessibility<\/strong><br \/>\nIf considering viewers with color blindness or visual impairments, avoid combinations of green and red, and choose colors with significant differences in brightness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Colors Suited to Content Type<\/strong><br \/>\nFor educational content, calm blue or green is suitable, while red or orange is effective for warnings or cautionary information. In a professional business environment, dark blue or gray tones convey reliability. <\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"44_%F0%9F%91%81%EF%B8%8F_Real-time_Color_Preview\"><\/span>4.4 \ud83d\udc41\ufe0f Real-time Color Preview<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When you change the color, it is immediately reflected in the highlight on the screen, allowing you to try various colors and find the most suitable one.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_%F0%9F%94%B7_Selecting_Highlight_Shape\"><\/span>5. \ud83d\udd37 Selecting Highlight Shape<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Spot Mouse offers various highlight shapes, allowing you to choose according to your purpose and personal preference.<\/p>\n<p>From the shape selection dropdown menu located at the center of the Pointer tab, you can select options such as Circle, Square, Hollow Circle, and Hollow Square.
