Why DNX Mouse Tools?

Managing windows across multiple monitors can be tedious. Dragging windows between screens, clicking tiny buttons to maximize or minimize, searching for the always-on-top option... DNX Mouse Tools solves this with customizable mouse actions.

Define your own rules: middle-click on a title bar to move a window to the next monitor, Ctrl+middle-click to toggle always-on-top, Shift+middle-click to minimize. Simple, fast, efficient.

• Audio Feedback - Optional sounds (.wav, .mp3, .wma) for visual confirmation
• Low Resource Usage - Efficient hook implementation, runs with <50MB RAM
• Single Executable - Self-contained, no .NET installation needed (69MB)

How It Works

DNX Mouse Tools uses a low-level mouse hook to detect your configured actions. When you perform an action that matches a rule, the application executes the associated command.

Example Use Cases

• Middle-click on title bar → Move to next monitor
• Ctrl + Middle-click → Toggle always-on-top
• Shift + Middle-click → Minimize window
• Alt + Middle-click → Close window

Create your own combinations to match your workflow.

Getting Started

1. Download DNXMouseTools.exe
2. Run the executable (it starts in system tray)
3. Right-click the tray icon → Configuration
4. Enable "Enable Mouse Hook"
5. Try the default rule: middle-click on any title bar to move the window to your next monitor
6. (Optional) Create your own custom rules

⚠️ First Run: Windows may show a security warning. Click "More info" → "Run anyway". This is normal for new applications.

Configuration

Auto-Registry

On first run, DNX Mouse Tools extracts a config.ini file. If AutoRegistry = true, it creates a shortcut in Start Menu → DNX.Projects → DNX Mouse Tools.

Command-line options:

• DNXMouseTools.exe --register - Create Start Menu shortcut
• DNXMouseTools.exe --unregister - Remove Start Menu shortcut

Custom Sounds

Create a Sounds folder next to the executable and add .wav, .mp3, or .wma files. They'll appear in the sound selection dropdown.

Configuration Files

• Rules: %APPDATA%\DNXMouseTools\config.json
• Auto-register: config.ini (next to executable)

---

System Requirements

• OS: Windows 10/11 (64-bit)
• Disk: ~70 MB
• RAM: Minimal (<50 MB)
• Permissions: Administrator recommended for global hook
• .NET: Not required (self-contained)

DNXAutoHub Integration

DNX Mouse Tools is part of the DNX ecosystem and supports integration with DNX Master Manager. When running alongside other DNX apps, they consolidate into a single system tray icon for a cleaner desktop.

Works perfectly standalone too - integration is optional.

Troubleshooting

Hook not working? Enable "Enable Mouse Hook" in configuration and run as Administrator.

Sounds not playing? Check "Enable Sounds" is enabled and sound files are in the Sounds folder.

"Already running" message? Only one instance can run at a time. Check system tray.
