Description

*** NOW WITH GESTURE DETECTION AND AUTOMATIC HIGHLIGHTING!!! *** Have you ever found yourself lost in a sea of mouse movements during a virtual presentation, desperately trying to keep up with where the presenter is pointing? "AnyTab Laser Pointer" adds a laser trail to your mouse pointer (similar to the one on Google Slides) on ANY Chrome tab. And YES... that includes spreadsheets!!! Think of it as your on-screen spotlight, leaving a vivid trail in its wake, turning your mouse into a laser pointer that can cut through the most cluttered of spreadsheets, the busiest of designs, or the densest of texts. No more digital hide and seek with the cursor, just a simple, clear path to follow. With the "AnyTab Laser Pointer", your viewers will always be in sync, even if you're moving at the speed of light. No more frantic pleas of "wait, where are you pointing?" or "could you go back a bit?". Now, everyone can easily follow your digital dance across the screen. This is not just an extension, it's your breadcrumb trail, your neon marquee in the bustling city of shared screens. Point, Direct, Engage. It's that simple. Embrace the power of clarity, and never lose your viewers again! PS: as a bonus, AnyTab Laser Pointer also tells you how many tabs you juggled in the last 24 hours!

Works decent but keeps having pop ups come up that tell you to leave a review. So here I am.

It's a great tool for presentations when the gesture works. The completing the shape within 2 seconds can be a challenge at times. Would like to see the highlighted shape stay on for longer than 3 seconds

Exceptionally badly written code. First, there is a forgotten console log which pollutes the developer console with a message '' Secondly, which is even worse, zIndex values are hard-coded (1000000) which screws our code. There is a fixed element in the DOM which interferes with notifications and popups are hidden below that, since we calculate the zIndex, as it should be. Very bad programming practice. Please, fix your bad code! ========================================== Edit: Some of the code has been improved in the latest version 1.5. Alas, the main culprit - hard-coded z-index of 10000000 has not been removed. I will change my rating, but not to 5 stars. BTW, it is easy to calculate the z-index and set it dynamically, so it does not interfere with other apps. This is a function that we use: const zIndexMax = () => { let maxZIndex = 0; // Start with the lowest possible zIndex document.querySelectorAll('body *').forEach(el => { const zIndex = parseFloat(window.getComputedStyle(el).zIndex); if (!Number.isNaN(zIndex)) { maxZIndex = Math.max(maxZIndex, zIndex); } }); return maxZIndex; };
