MPos

While there are quite a few applications that can help you track your cursor’s position, not all of them take DPI scaling into account, and some are pretty limited when it comes to customization options.

MPos is a lightweight, open-source utility that lets you track the position of the mouse, with or without DPI scaling, while also showing you each pixel’s RGB value. It is unobtrusive and can be customized to a great extent.

The application’s main function is self-explanatory. It will show you the XY coordinates of the cursor, in real-time, via a small overlay that can be moved to any position on your desktop.

MPos can also take DPI scaling into account, displaying the position of the cursor in both physical pixels and coordinates modified by DPI scaling. What’s more, the current DPI scaling setting and raw DPI are also shown.

To configure the application, you need to right-click the tray icon. You can specify which parameters should be tracked and hide everything else from the overlay.

Moreover, you can choose between the default and dark themes, customize the overlay’s opacity and specify whether or not the application should be displayed in the taskbar and on top of all other windows.

By playing around with the settings, you can end up with an overlay that displays only the information you care about, in a relatively unobtrusive manner. However, it would have been great if it were possible to resize the window and change the font.

One of the perks of using MPos is that the program does not need to be installed before use and saves all your configurations in the same folder. You can, therefore, use it on multiple PCs and from portable storage devices.

Overall, this utility is a solid choice for any user who needs to track the position of the mouse cursor on their screen. It takes DPI scaling into account and can be customized in multiple ways.
