From: John Corliss on 9 Dec 2009 14:45 The other day, I noticed a neat little mouse utility listed at the Snapfiles website: http://www.snapfiles.com/reviews/wizmouse/wizmouse.html The home page is here: http://antibody-software.com/web/software/software/wizmouse-makes-your-mouse-wheel-work-on-the-window-under-the-mouse/ I gave it a try and it works great. What it does is something I've missed since upgrading to XP and having to give up my Kensington mouse driver (which I was using with my MS Intellimouse): ________________________________________________________________________ WizMouse is a mouse enhancement utility that makes your mouse wheel work on the window currently under the mouse pointer, instead of the currently focused window. This means you no longer have to click on a window before being able to scroll it with the mouse wheel. This is a far more comfortable and practical way to make use of the mouse wheel. WizMouse can also optionally enable the mouse wheel in applications that don't support it. It does this by translating mouse wheel commands into scroll bar commands that all applications can understand and process. * Scrolls windows under the mouse without having to click first * Enables the mouse wheel in applications that don't support mouse wheels Once WizMouse has been installed and is active, configure it by double clicking on the WizMouse icon in the system tray. ________________________________________________________________________ I doesn't bring the window the cursor is currently over to the top if the window is under another one. I use this functionality all the time. Also, it adds scrolling to 16 bit apps most of the time. Don't know why it only has a three Snapfile stars rating. I think it's a great, neat little addon. And apparently, so does the one user review. -- John Corliss BS206.

A very simple app that saves time and lots of clicking. Works great in Windows 7 Dank

Dunno offhand if it's distro-specific, DTE-specific, or Linux-specific. -- Mark Warner MEPIS Linux Registered Linux User #415318 ....lose .inhibitions when replying
