If you’re tired of fighting with your mouse cursor across acres of multi-monitor screen space, Microsoft’s latest PowerToys update has it all wrapped up for you

While most PC users are content with just one or two displays, some folks like to have a whole lot more than that, and certain workloads can even demand it. Navigating across all that real estate with your mouse can be somewhat cumbersome, but Microsoft has a little bit of a helping hand for you in its latest PowerToys tool.

It’s not the biggest addition in PowerToys 0.97, but Cursor Wrap might just be mana from heaven for some PC enthusiasts. As the name suggests, activating this tool essentially links the edges of multiple displays together, so as you pop off the edge of one monitor, the mouse cursor should seamlessly appear on the opposing edge of the next display.

The main feature of the new PowerToys update is the increased control you have over the colour palette for Windows’ GUI. Tired of the boring default options? Fancy having the Start Menu in vivid vomit green? Grab PowerToys 0.97 and tweak away until your eyes spin like they’re using Cursor Wrap.

PowerToys is a great little set of tools and features, and I’m often puzzled as to why Microsoft just doesn’t have it permanently integrated into Windows. If you’re a casual PC user, you wouldn’t need to use them, but if you want more control over your operating system, it seems a bit silly that you need to download an extra bit of software to do that.
