Color Theory is a set of principles used to create harmonious color combinations. Color relationships can be visually represented with a color wheel — the color spectrum wrapped onto a circle. According to color theory, harmonious color combinations use any two colors opposite each other on the color wheel, any three colors equally spaced around the color wheel forming a triangle, or any four colors forming a rectangle (actually, two pairs of colors opposite each other). The harmonious color combinations are called color schemes – sometimes the term ‘color harmonies’ is also used. Color schemes remain harmonious regardless of the rotation angle.

Back when we released WinPointer version 1, we were looking for a simple way to enhance PowerPoint and other presentations. With the original version, it was easy to highlight certain key areas of a screen to make a point, or for emphasis. Version 2 brought more functionality and a switch from Visual Basic to Delphi. But our users ended up finding additional uses for WinPointer, including using it to annotate screens to send to others and even to help with documentation and canned presentations. Now with WinPointer 3, we’ve added in new functionality that makes it simple to deliver annotated screens to others via e-mail, or even to create AVI-style movies of your annotations and then send them to others for playback.
