Hello,

I need to simply display the mouse coordinates, in pixels, on the screen.

Do you know of a small resident program, in English or French, that does this simple task?

Thank you very much in advance for your suggestions.

Configuration: Windows XP / Firefox 3.0.10

Thank you for responding to me, acuao.

Of course, I searched before calling for help and, despite what one might think for such a simple utility, they are not abundant.

And those I found, the rules, display X and Y separately. I would like to have X and Y at the same time...

But I will ask Google the question again with your keywords.

On the other hand, I don’t quite understand why you are suggesting a widget: isn’t it a graphical component in programming? I need a program...

Ah, I thought it was a standalone program, sorry I misread.
I have something at home that should meet the expectations...
I can't remember the name, I'll let you know if I find it...

It would be sensational for me if you found it, because for quite a while now, I have been searching on Google, in both French and English, and I have only found numerous modules for programming, or rules for measuring distances in pixels on the screen, but separately, horizontally or vertically.

MB-Ruler!

I'm not 100 percent sure, but I believe it's what you need :)

It even allows you to measure angles, etc...

Thank you acuao for "busting your chops" (as Ducros would say :-)) to find MB-Ruler.

It's an excellent program that I will keep for other problems.

Unfortunately, for the specifications I am looking for, simply displaying the absolute coordinates of the mouse on the screen, it doesn't do that.

I will continue to search.

Thanks again for your help.

I looked at all the settings a little...

But there are still red lines or others on the screen, which interfere with screenshots;
after each read of the coordinates, the program should be removed from memory... tiring..

Still haven't found anything more.

Oh really?
What kind?
Wasn't it rather a zone alarm (or other) alert
telling you that this program was trying to change the display?
