I immediately wanted to update NLarge again because its new default hotkeys (Ctrl-1 for Zoom, Ctrl-2 to Draw, Ctrl-3 for Break Timer) conflict with Outlook 2007’s hotkeys for Inbox, Calendar, and Contacts.
Changelist:
- Added ability to select your own hotkeys for zoom, draw and countdown timer.
- Added ability to Alt-Tab away from break timer, and Alt-Tab back
- Added ability to press ‘w’ while zoomed in to clear canvas for drawing.
- Added a little opacity fade before and after zooms to remove glitching (and for effect).
- Automatic smoothing of lines sketched on the canvas.

Damn. I noticed that NLarge only works on the primary monitor (unless I’m doing something wrong). In my case, I often run multi-monitor when I teach so I can keep staged demos off screen and keep my projected screen as clean and tidy as possible. Consider this my plea for multi-monitor suppport.
I’m not sure if you can tell what monitor the mouse is on – but I think that would be the most intuitive option. A cheap alternative would be to allow me to configure what monitor it should work on by default.
[...] teaching a course this week and noticed that NLarge didn’t support multimon – or rather, it always zoomed in on the primary monitor. [...]
Good catch, Barry. Now look what you made me do (see next blog post)
I don’t use multimon when I present (something o-c about making sure I see what the audience is seeing) but I think pretty much the rest of the known universe does!
