OS X El Capitan What's New Review: Cursor, Manifest

cursor-el-captain-1

We continue with the news implemented in OS X El Capitan and if yesterday we showed the advantages of Split View, this time 'let's see the action' that will allow us to find the cursor on the screen in a very fast and efficient way. Obviously many of you will think that this is not useful for users who have perfect eyesight and others, but I already confirm that despite having good eyesight it is a interesting method to find the cursor when you have to spend many hours in front of the Mac. If we also have dark wallpapers or many open windows, we have a better chance that our little pointer is 'hidden'.

We all know that in Apple we have different screen sizes and while the models with the smallest screen are the 11-inch MacBook Air, the largest are 27 inches (through 12,13, 15, XNUMX inches) and in both cases this option can be good. Finding the pointer on a screen infested with tabs, applications or dark backgrounds can be difficult and therefore Apple adds this option to enlarge the pointer by making circles with the mouse or trackpad.

Enable or disable this option

This option that Apple implements in the new OS X that is close to being launched, users always have the possibility to activate or deactivate the option and obviously this is done from the System Preferences> Accessibility.

The truth is that if you get used to its use unconsciously, then it may be that you miss it if you deactivate it, but it is good to know that we have that possibility to activate or deactivate to our liking from the settings. Apple's definition of this "cursor, manifest" function is perfect for this function.
