Experience X410 in native Windows 11 Fluent theme with the new version 5!

X410 now utilizes .NET Desktop Runtime and improves its consistency with Windows user interface as well as its performance and responsiveness.

Due to this change, X410 now requires .NET Desktop Runtime version 9 or higher. But if you are using Windows 11, you probably already have the runtime installed; if it is not, you can easily download and install it from the following official Microsoft website; we recommend installing the latest active version (it is version 10 as of this writing). When installing a runtime, make sure you are installing a .NET 'Desktop' Runtime.

X410 now supports automatically resizing X-Window GUI mouse pointer images according to Windows settings. Hence you should be able to get more consistence user experience even when you have multiple monitors with different DPIs or scaling settings.

X410 resizes the mouse pointer image directly from the raw image configured in your X-Window settings; X410 does not actually access your mouse pointer image files. Hence, for crisply resized mouse pointers in X410, we recommend installing mouse pointer theme with higher resolution and updating your X-Window mouse pointer settings to use bigger images (ex. 64x64 rather than 16x16).

Configuring mouse pointer size in a Linux GUI environment varies but simply setting XCURSOR_SIZE environment variable before launching your GUI apps should work in most cases.

export XCURSOR_SIZE=64

The new version 5 improves its stability and performance by including updated third-party libraries as well as various bug fixes and workarounds. If you are experiencing strange slowness or crashes while using X410 after recent Windows 11 updates, you should definitely try this new version!

X410 Standalone version 5 is provided as a free upgrade for the previous Standalone version license owners. If you already own a Standalone license, you simply need to use your existing license activation code on the new version 5.
