Wraparound overview

Wraparound is an application primarily intended for users with large and/or multiple screens, which allows the mouse cursor to "wrap" around the screens. Rather than spending time and energy moving the cursor across the screen, from one side to the other, simply drag it off one edge and it immediately appears on the other side.

Wraparound can handle even the most abnormal of screen-layout configurations, even allowing windows and other objects to be dragged though screen edges. And if you're worried about not being able to hit your menu bar or dock without the edge to stop the cursor, you can always turn off horizontal or vertical screen wrapping to suit your preferences. It also preserves screensavers and Exposé functionality with variable-sized non-wrapping areas at the corners.

The smallest biggest app ever, specially with big screen.

Works ok.I like the settings allowing finer definition of where WrapAround works or does not.

That said, Wraparound frequently turns itself off with no warning. I have not been able to find a pattern. Like another user, I use BTT, but not willing to turn it off since I use it too much.

Another problem I have found: I keep my computer on all the time for weeks at a time (except for when it is set to go to sleep); I rarely restart. I have found that when using Wraparound with Skype, the Mac OS X WindowServer jumps to about 100% CPU usage and the computer becomes very unresponsive.

This can happen after a few hours or after a few days and is VERY repeatable. If I run WrapAround OR Skype ALONE, I do not have this problem. This problem also exists with v1.6 but I could not figure out the source so stopped using WrapAround. I only rediscovered the problem when I started using v2.0b2. I am still on Mac OS X 10.6.8.

There seems to be an issue with Wraparound and "App Tamer". I have a multimonitor setup (but that's probably not the issue) and App Tamer. App Tamer is a tool which freezes an inactive application to reduce the CPU use. It works very well on OSX 10.6.8. However Wraparound gets disabled every time when the mouse (focus) switches from an active application to an inactive (frozen through App Tamer) application. I am moving my mouse from one monitor with active application to another monitor with inactive application. After the mouse moves and the inactive application gets reactivated, Wraparound is STOPPED and I have to manually restart it from the menu. This happens every time when I do the steps above.

Absolutely Excellent. Thank you for your effort and making this compatible with OSX 10.6.8. I am using Matrox Triplehead2go and being able to wrap mouse around the right most corner to left most corner is absolute must. Feature request: I would like to be able to define split zones. For example divide the upper and lower zone into 2 half zones and assign different behaviour to them. For example: The left bottom zone - no action. The right bottom zone warp around the left top. The left top zone wrap around the bottom right. The right top zone - no action. It could go more complex with 3 zones arrangement. The reason we need this is because Matrox Powerdesk software doesn't provide vertical screen arrangement. It only has horizontal display arrangement (unless you have multiple graphic cards). So while horizontal arrangement is good for gamers (Matrox is the gamers religion), for video editors and programmers, it's nightmare for anybody who needs vertically arranges screens. Wraparound is definitively the right direction and thank you for your effort. This app, Wormhole and MouseWarp are great help. I am still looking for an application which would allow me to define split hotzones on the screen and then assign actions when mouse reaches them where action would be jumping to another screen. (In Matrox, the screens act as one vrtual maxi screen, so they are not seen as separate displays.) If anybody knows about a tool to assign actions and "mouse warps" to hotzones on the screen, please post it here or please send me PM. Thank you .

Does this version (2.0b2) work with System 10.9.2? It will not start on my machine. {This version worked fine with Sys 10.9.1.}
