Gray dot not visible

The only way I can see the gray dot when I choose "Hidden Mouse Hover entry" is to increase the transparency and place it over a non-white background. There is simply not enough contrast. Can you suggest a remedy?

My desktop is blue, so I can place SafeKeys over it and put the browser to the side (as the browser usually has a white background and the transparency of SafeKeys over that puts it off-white or near light gray in which the gray dot is not visible.) So I have to size the window of the browser in order to accommodate space for SafeKeys to the side of it.

Hi bearbottoms. This is working as designed. The grey dot has been designed to be exactly the same colour as the keyboard, so if a screenlogger is able to take a screen shot of the desktop (and Neo's SafeKeys), then your cursor position will be hidden. If you can see the grey dot, then that screenlogger also can 'see' the grey dot.

I'm sure you notice that the cursor turns to normal when it's not over the keyboard; my tip is to watch the cursor carefully as you move it to the keyboard. Then look carefully as you slowly move the cursor around - you'll see the grey dot when it moves over the gap between the keys and when it moves over the key label.

Yes, it's quite slow work when using this mode, but it is the last defence against the very rare screenloggers that can take screenshots of Neo's SafeKeys.
