Shooty Shapes Mac OS

Posted on  by

The Shapes tool lets you add shapes — rectangles, circles, speech bubbles, and stars — directly to an image. There’s also a magnifying feature called Loupe to zoom in on something specific. The shortest answer to “How to snip on Mac?” is to press ⇧⌘5. The shortcut calls up a small menu in the lower part of the screen with lots of options to choose from. This menu is new to Mac, as it first appeared in macOS Mojave in 2018. The original Macintosh is the first successful mass-market personal computer to have featured a graphical user interface, built-in screen, and mouse. Apple sold the Macintosh alongside its popular Apple II, Apple III, and Apple Lisa families of computers until the other models were discontinued in the 1990s. Early Macintosh models were expensive, hindering competitiveness in a market. Shades is a free brightness control for Mac OS X. Shades is a FREE utility for controlling the brightness of your screen. It runs in the background providing always-available fine-grained control over the brightness of your display via a slick Mac-like interface. The selection tool can select using three possible shapes: a rectangle, an ellipse, and a rounded-rectangle. The ellipse and rounded-rectangle are anti-aliased, so when they are filled their edges appear smooth to the user. The Lasso tool allows you to select an arbitrary shape.

Adjustable Pointer Speed

A button behind the wheel enables quickly changing the pointer speed to suit different tasks: select higher speed (higher DPI) to make the pointer move faster for general use; select lower speed (lower DPI) to make the pointer move slower and more precisely for drawing, photo editing, etc.

Improved thumb rest

Shooty Shapes Mac Os 11

The thumb rest has been reshaped to provide even more comfort over earlier versions.

Pointer speed indicators

Up to four lights show pointer speeds from slow to fast: slow speed or low DPI for precision work such as photo editing or drawing; fast speed or high DPI for quickly moving across the screen for general tasks.

Now two thumb buttons

A new bottom thumb button provides greatly extended functionality when used with the included driver.

Powerful and intuitive driver

Evoluent Mouse Manager for Mac provides extensive but easy to use functionality for 6 buttons through a simple and intuitive interface.

Extended lip prevents rubbing

An extra wide lip along the bottom edge prevents the last finger from rubbing the desk.

Bluetooth connectivity

Connects to Mac systems via Bluetooth.

Battery

▪ 1 AA battery. Good for about 3 months of average use.

Compatibility

Apple Mac® OS X 10.5 to 10.14

▪ Includes Mac driver for configuring the buttons. The driver is optional but highly recommended. VerticalMouse still has basic functionality without the driver. Some functions of the Windows driver are not available in the Mac driver.

Apple Mac® OS X 10.15 and newer

▪ Due to recent Mac OS update, our driver must be updated to maintain compatibility. We need a driver development kit from Apple but they have not replied to our request even after repeated emails. Therefore our driver development is unable to proceed. We apologize for the delay and will continue to contact Apple for the resource. Alternatively, the third party software USB Overdrive www.usboverdrive.com may be used to program the buttons on VerticalMouse. (Evoluent is not affiliated with USB Overdrive.)

Warranty

2 years

Install Instructions

1. Before connecting Evoluent VerticalMouse, go to the Applications folder to find and remove any existing Evoluent Mouse Manager and any other mouse software, except touchpad drivers, to avoid software conflict.
2. Go to System Preferences, Bluetooth and click Setup New Device or click the plus sign + to add the mouse. Slide the power switch on the bottom of the VerticalMouse to the green position or cycle it off and on to establish a connection.
3. Press the Pointer Speed button on the side of the mouse to light up two to three indicator lights for optimal pointer speed.
4. The mouse has default functions without a driver. Evoluent Mouse Manager for Mac may be installed to program the buttons and adjust the pointer speed.
Download Evoluent Mouse Manager for Mac.
5. After the driver is installed, button functions may be changed by clicking the E icon in System Preferences to open Evoluent Mouse Manager for Mac. The driver may be removed by going to the Applications folder, Evoluent folder and clicking Uninstall.
6. Replace the AA battery when a red light on the thumb rest blinks, or when the pointer becomes unresponsive.
