   Review - PresentationMode

   1.0.0.67 Alpha (Nov 27, 2007)

   Since the feature descriptions I posted on my submission were dropped along the way, here's an abbreviated list.
   
   ** Mirrors screen
   The program works by mirroring one screen onto another. The basic usage would involve a laptop screen and a projector showing a mirrored copy of your laptop screen to an audience, for a live software demonstration.
   
   The program works by repeatedly grabbing screenshots of your main display, optionally manipulating the screenshot, and then showing it on your mirrored display (ie. the projector).
   
   ** Live zoom
   The program will zoom up a portion of your main display to 2x its width and height. You can move the zoomed area around on your laptop display by moving four draggable corner handles, or you can enable the follow-the-mouse mode which will make sure the mouse is always inside the area.
   
   ** Live highlighting
   You can "highlight" an area to focus the attention of the audience by fading out everything outside of the area to a near-white color, just barely showing the screen beneath, still live. This area is sizable, again with four draggable corner handles, and movable. You can either set it up by dragging the corner handles, or click+drag a rectangle around an area, or pick a window by holding down ctrl.
   
   ** Drawing
   Draw on a snapshot of the screen, in different colors, pen widths, using freehand, rectangles or lines. The image will be saved to disk when you exit drawing mode.
   
   ** Pause screen
   Set up a pause screen showing a title, info-text (like what happens after the break), and the current time.
   
   ** Saved views
   You can prepare for your demonstration by saving the zoom area, highlight area, pause screens, and more and quickly restore them during your demo.
   
   ** Hotkeys and menu
   Either configure system-wide hotkeys for your most used functions, or use the popup menu that includes the main functions, or the tray icon which gives access to the rest.
