   I guess you are talking about my fork? Unfortunately currently only the primary monitor shows the clicks If you switch primary monitor does it change?

   tested on your fork 3.1 beta - key and click display follows (also during runtime) the primary screen

   Hi there! 👋

   I (@doggy8088 / Will Huang) have stepped in to take over active maintenance of Carnac at doggy8088/carnac (project website: https://carnac.gh.miniasp.com/).

   This issue regarding Mouse click visualization, the Mouse settings tab, and hiding/customizing mouse indicators has been resolved in my fork!

   Context & What Changed

   • What Changed (Optionally highlight mouse clicks with a ring around the pointer (upstream #162) doggy8088/carnac#32 & Size the overlay to its popups instead of covering the monitor doggy8088/carnac#38):
     1. Dedicated Mouse Tab in Preferences (Feature request : Display mouse click #114, 2.3.13.0 release does not have Mouse and Keyboard tabs as older releases? #301, Options to set mouse clicks are missing #331, No mouse input registered or displayed #335): Restored and modernized the Mouse tab in Preferences (ShowMouseClicks), allowing you to toggle visual click highlight rings on or off at any time.
     2. Clean Separation from Keyboard Popup Stream (Disable Mouse OSD #183, Hide mouse and only show keyboard input? #314, Hide scroll popup + hide mouse click popup #319): Mouse clicks and scroll wheel actions no longer clutter or fill up the keyboard text popup list; you can either show clean animated ripple rings at the cursor position or uncheck "Show mouse clicks" to display keyboard input only.
     3. Customizable Size, Colors, Opacity & Multi-Monitor Support (Mouse Icon Too Big #220, Mouse highlight and clicks on multiple monitors #228): You can configure the click ring Size (ClickFadeDiameter), Opacity, Fade Delay, and button Colors (Left / Middle / Right click), and ClickRing.ShowAtScreenLocation now renders click rings at the exact physical cursor coordinates across all monitors in multi-monitor setups.
