OmniDazzle is a set of fun and useful enhancements that help you highlight certain areas of your screen, create visual effects, and track the location of your mouse pointer.
6 Reasons You Should Try OmniDazzle:
If you've ever used your computer screen to do a presentation, capture screen shots, or as a point of reference while someone looks over your shoulder...you, my friend, could have used OmniDazzle. OmniDazzle is handy for those times when you need to call attention to something on your screen ("...as you can all see, line 37 in this spreadsheet lists my proposed new salary: eleventy hojillion dollars. Any questions?"), and even helps you find your lost cursor (hey, it happens - especially when you're navigating across the four-million-pixels-and-counting landscape of a 30" Cinema Display).
OmniDazzle is designed to be both playful and practical; you can use a plug-in to professionally emphasize a section of your screen, or you can turn your mouse movement into an area of focus that trails pixie dust (or waves, or a bullseye, or...) across your desktop. You can configure each plug-in to suit your own particular preferences: change colors, make objects bigger or smaller, or change the way you activate the OmniDazzle plug-in of your choice.
Call out your cursor or part of your screen real estate - or just add some visual bling to your display; either way, we think OmniDazzle's collection of tools and toys will put a smile on your face. Try a free demo here.

- You'd like to add some extra visual information to your screen, like arrows or boxes or...footprints.
- You've been working really hard all week, and frankly, you'd like to goof off for a while.

Tried it here; works fine! (Core2Duo iMac, 3.06GHz, 10.6.4)

I only wish I could hide/remove it from a crowded dock, as it is already available in the main menu bar.
It is however a very useful little utility. I added it to my login items. Five stars from me.

For the price of a couple of Big Mac meals at McDonald's, I bought this app.

About half of the included effects are truly useful for "serious" purposes, and the rest are just wacky and fun. (And some of them may cause seizures!)
If you've already shelled out $50 or whatever for a screen recording utility and make some money doing training, or if you're a software designer who wants to do slick demos, $15 could well be worth it for this app.
If you just want to find your mouse, that price will be hard to swallow, and you're probably better off with one of the many less expensive solutions.
For a beta, the application is quite full featured and stable, with all the spit and polish that Omni is known for. I have had no crashes or other problems with this program. It does seem to eat up a few CPU cycles for some of the fancier effects (pixie dust, for example), but isn't too bad. The less graphically intense effects made little/no hit on performance.
Be sure to check the hardware requirements, as I quickly found this wouldn't work on my aging TiBook, although it works fine on my 1 ghz Powerbook.
