(1.2.0) Cursor Control

The cursor control page allows manipulation of ICE’s on-screen cursor from a remote device.

Usage

Open

Click or tap the “Start casting” button to begin controlling the cursor.

Open

If you’re using a mouse and keyboard, your mouse will be locked to the Control Panel window, and all further mouse movement and keyboard interactions will be forwarded to ICE. Press [Escape] to unlock your mouse and stop controlling the ICE cursor.

If you’re using a touchscreen, a touchpad will be shown. You can use this like a laptop’s standard touchpad. Press the “Open keyboard” button to show your device’s on-screen keyboard if required.
