Improves touch screen functionality for certain apps on Windows.
Some Windows applications weren't designed with touchscreens in mind and with the growing number of users who own them, especially tablet users, there's been an increase in users unable to use certain programs designed for Windows.
That's where TouchMousePointer comes in handy. With this application, you've got a whole set of features which make using your touchscreen and its peripherals easy with a huge number of options.
Setup and installation
The installation of TouchMousePointer is painless and when completed, a couple of new icons will appear beside your system tray. Click on the mouse icon, and you've got virtual mouse buttons with a trackpad that will appear on the side of the screen.
The settings options are numerous and from here, you've got an idea of the features and desktop customization options available to you with TouchMousePointer. The program can assign different touch actions as hotkeys and gestures depending on how many fingers you use.
An artistic pad option has a few options for people using drawing applications like ArtRage Pro or Adobe Photoshop and integrates features of a stylus or digitizer like Wacom devices.
Customize cursor behavior on touch screens
TouchMousePointer can do other things for interfacing with classic Windows applications like create a virtual or fake cursor, allow tracklines and integrate sonar. Pointer speed can be modified here.
The program doesn't just deal with touchpad and mouse options but also has a few options when using a virtual keyboard like enabling it on a swipe and change the virtual keyboard transparency.
Finally, a bunch of custom options exist to modify and change the behavior of the program and different modes are available depending on the tablet or PC's orientation and thus side mode, float mode, full screen mode and artistic pad are the main layouts available.
Conclusion
All in all, TouchMousePointer is a feature-packed desktop enhancement utility that bridges the gap between the functionality offered by Microsoft for touch devices and applications that haven't yet improved their support for touchscreen devices.
