![]() I have continued to tinker with XMBC but really haven't had much time to dedicate to it - as life moves on, It is becoming increasing difficult to find time to devote to XMBC, and when I have done, its mostly been to combat little buts rather than add new functionality. There were a few followup releases, fixing issues found in the original 2.19 release. Secondly, as it is rarely used in the world, people who get used to the xmouse system might find it hard to adjust to using other computers, and vice versa.It has been far too long since I released 2.19. This lag time reduces the maximum speed that xmouse can be used at, and could lead to annoying pauses. Firstly, if the activated window is also configured to be drawn into foreground there must be a minimum time for the cursor to hover over a window before it is selected, or else all touched windows would be immediately in foreground and cover other windows. The two main disadvantages are the selection speed and being the non-standard. Most notably, it requires much less effort on the part of the user to use the computer, and can be considerably faster once users have adjusted to the non-standard interface. Proponents of the xmouse system claim it has many advantages over the regular system of selection. The setting is also built into Windows Vista and Windows 7 in the Ease of Access Center as "Activate a window by hovering over it with the mouse", however preventing the activated window from moving to foreground can be done by using the relevant SystemParametersInfo system calls in Windows' USER component, or by configuring the registry. On newer Windows versions, the behavior can be configured using Tweak UI or directly from the Windows Registry. On Microsoft Windows, an Xmouse Control Panel applet was available as part of the Windows 95 PowerToys, used to configure focusing windows in the user interface by hovering. Operation of menus, text selection, and other features remain unchanged. ![]() ![]() The context function, previously activated by double-clicking, is activated by single-clicking double-clicking is made redundant by this system and is ignored. Hovering over a window makes it the active window. Where normal Windows and X11 mouse control uses single-click for selection and double-click to open/edit/etc, the xmouse system automatically selects objects after hovering the mouse over the object for a certain period of time (often one second). The behavior is similar to mouse control in X Windows. Xmouse is a system of mouse control used instead of the standard system of selection on computers (most notably Windows and X11, where it is an option). The xmouse system automatically selects objects or activates windows after hovering the mouse over the object for a certain period of time. Xmouse is a system of mouse control in computer operating systems used instead of the standard selection behavior.
