# Version History

## Version 4.1:

Released: 2026

New Features:

 - Three-state edge wrapping: each contour edge can now be set to Wrap (green), Delayed (yellow), or No Wrap (red) by clicking in the Options dialog.
 - Delayed edge wrapping: cursor pauses at the boundary before wrapping, providing resistance at selected edges.
 - Adjustable delay slider: configure the delayed-wrap timing from 200 ms to 1000 ms (snaps to 100 ms increments).
 - Live cursor dot: the Options monitor preview now shows the real-time cursor position as a dot.
 - Color key legend: the Options dialog displays a color legend explaining the three edge states.
 - All edge states and delay settings are persisted in the registry and survive restarts.

## Version 4.0:

Released: 2026

New Features:

 - Multi-monitor contour algorithm: wraps the mouse pointer around the true outer boundary of any monitor arrangement, including non-rectangular layouts.
 - Theme-aware tray icons: automatically switches between light and dark icons to match the Windows system theme.
 - Per-monitor DPI awareness (V2): sharp rendering on mixed-DPI setups.
 - Single-instance enforcement: prevents multiple copies from running simultaneously.
 - "Wrap within workspace" toggle: optionally confine wrapping to the work area (excluding taskbars).
 - Pure C rewrite: entire application rewritten in C from the original C++ codebase for smaller footprint and simpler build.

## Version 2.04:

Released: 12/01/2005

Modification Details:

Customers of Mouse Wrap were experiencing problems while dragging or resizing windows from one side of the screen to the other using the wrapping functionality. This is because Microsoft Windows will restrict the mouse pointer to only the work-area of the desktop while dragging of normal windows (i.e. it is not possible to drag windows over the taskbar in its default ‘keep on top’ setting enabled).

Mouse Wrap 2.04 solves this problem by detecting when the user is trying to drag or resize a window beyond the taskbar, while still using the minimum amount of your computer’s resources.

Note, there is a very slight delay when wrapping from the edge of the taskbar, this is because it takes time to evaluate if it is necessary to do the wrap while using low resources.

Mouse Wrap will respect the size and position of your taskbar.

## Version 2.03:

Released: 25/08/2004

Modification Details:

Fixed Issues:

 - Removed non-critical error messages  (when the error is self resolvable by Mouse Wrap).
