One of my favorite Mac programs is OmniDazzle. When it’s on, I always know where my mouse pointer is.

Earlier this week I upgraded VMWare Fusion to version 3. Unfortunately, now I can’t have OmniDazzle on while I’m using Fusion. For some reason, when you first start a VM in Fusion you have to click in the window (or press command-G) before input is sent to the VM guest, and with OmniDazzle on this doesn’t work. Well, if you click four or five times one of them will eventual get through, but then Fusion switches back immediately to “you must click in the window” mode.

So now I’m getting in the habit of turning off OmniDazzle whenever I launch Fusion. Bummer.

(I wrote this last week, but apparently clicked “save” instead of “publish”.)
