v1.4.3-windows

What's Changed

• fix: multi-monitor DPI coordinate mismatch via PerMonitorV2 manifest

Install

Download ClickLight-Windows-x64.zip, extract, and run ClickLight.exe. No .NET runtime required (self-contained).

v1.4.2 Windows - Correct cursor-aligned click rendering

Fixes the remaining cursor/click offset by removing manual DPI math and using WPF PointFromScreen to convert captured screen coordinates into overlay-local coordinates. This applies to click pulses, laser pointer movement, and drag rectangles. Download the zip, extract it, and run ClickLight.exe.

v1.4.1 Windows - Fix multi-monitor coordinate offset

Bug Fix

Fixes click visuals appearing far from cursor on non-primary monitors.

Root cause

GetDpiForWindow was called before SetWindowPos moved the window to its target monitor. At that point the window was still on the primary monitor (where WPF initially placed it), so it reported the primary monitor's DPI — not the correct DPI for the overlay window's actual monitor. All coordinate math divided by the wrong DPI scale.

Fix

Position the window on its target monitor first via \SetWindowPos, then call \GetDpiForWindow. Now the correct per-monitor DPI is always used.

Also fixed

• Canvas child cap raised 200→600 to prevent laser stroke drawing events being dropped
• Removed debug diagnostic file from release build

Download

Extract the zip and run \ClickLight.exe. Requires .NET 8 runtime.

v1.4.0 Windows - Laser Pointer with Connected Dissolving Strokes

What's New

• Connected drawing lines — dragging with laser pointer draws smooth connected line segments instead of scattered dots
• Dissolving strokes — drawn lines fade out and thin over 1.8s (shooting star effect)
• Shooting star trail — cursor trail dots shrink to zero as they age
• Hide System Cursor toggle (default OFF) — enable to hide mouse cursor when laser is active; disable for screenshots
• Laser pointer size slider (4–40) — controls dot size and stroke thickness
• Middle click drag support
• Multi-monitor DPI fix — coordinates now render at exact cursor position on all monitors

Download

Extract the zip and run ClickLight.exe. Requires .NET 8 runtime.

v1.3.0 Windows

What's New

Middle Click Support

• Captures middle mouse button press/release

• Show/hide toggle in settings and tray menu

Custom Color Per Click Type

Primary Color Preset

v1.2.0-windows: File Drag Trail + Laser Pointer

What's New

File Drag Trail

• Red dot cursor with glow follows the mouse
• Dragging draws temporary red strokes that fade after release
• Toggle from tray menu or Settings
