Q U I C K O V E R V I E W X Version 1.0 provides a crosshair following the actual position of the mouse cursor within any NeXTStep application. This feature supports people working with image processing tools or typesetting programs to control the alignment of text or images visually, instead of selecting each object and requesting the position of it with an inspector, remembering its actual position and compare it with the values of an other one. Another feature is the zoom function: The application's icon displays a magnified area around the current position of the mouse cursor so the user can easily determinate the exact location of the hotspot. This allows easy detection of which control point would be affected or what point a fill function would start from when the mouse button is pressed. A nice feature is the application icon itself. The icon acts as a power switch: whenever it is touched, the crosshair will either be activated or deactivated, depending on its current state. You can also change the behaviour of X in various ways by setting the appropriate values in the prefer- ences panel: color, size and distance of the crosshair's axes and some other stuff. X provides all features in demo mode, however the application will terminate itself after a short while. You can obtain a license number using the built-in license panel. Price is DM 40.-, about US$ 25.
