Desk Marker 1.8.6

'Desk Marker' is a simple program doing a not so simple job. The idea behind this software is an interesting one. It is useful, if you are making presentations and want to highlight some parts of the screen. You can't draw anything else but lines. This program is designed for teaching purposes. If you want to highlight an area of the screen or want to include that area in a square or a circle, it's possible only if you can design it by hand with the mouse. I think it works best if you have a tablet PC. There are user-defined keys for the drawing, erasing, and for changing the mode (freehand or visual controls). This is very helpful because you won't lose time making these changes. You can select the color and the pen size from the main window of the program. Other options are the 'Transparency' and the 'Flood fill'.

The user interface is very easy to use and intuitive. No other menus, all its features are listed on the main window.

Pluses: It allows you to draw on windows with different pen size and colors.

Drawbacks / flaws: Too few features.

In conclusion: It's an interesting program. It was funny to test it.
