Zonea 3.1.2

synththeory

Hiya, quick test of Zonea 3.1.2 with Nuendo + Win 11 25H2. Cursor now stays put on main screen when using touch screen, Nice work Pablo. However:

Issue: unfortunately there seems to be a 'mouse click' command when pressing a Zonea touch screen button/widget causing anything that is currently under the mouse cursor on the main display to get 'selected' which is undesirable behaviour. Chameleon did not do this.

Many Thanks, all the best

Is there now a newer version with a fix? as there are two entries for 3.1.2 on the changelog.
Also read that in changelog for 3.1.2 dated 10/07/2026 that: "Touch no longer sends unintended clicks to other applications: with "Prevent Cursor Jump" enabled on a multi-monitor setup, tapping a Zonea widget could click whatever was under the mouse cursor on the other screen. Touch on other apps keeps working as usual"

But in the version 3.1.2 I have downloaded it is not fixed.

All the best

Hello!
Yes, version 3.1.3 fixes the issue and everything is now working correctly again on both Windows 10 and Windows 11.
If anything goes wrong for any reason, please report it here. Rolling back to a previous version is as simple as running the installer for that version.
Also, make sure to enable Always on Top in the configuration if you need it. This setting is usually enabled in Performance Mode, but starting with this version it is now a separate option and is disabled by default.

PabloMartin Thank you, Great, mouse clicks do not happen on the application on main display when pressing a widget on touchscreen in version 3.1.3

However: comparing with Chameleon , Zonea still steels focus away from applications. Is there a way to have an option to 'do not steel focus'?

In old Chameleon, when pressing a widget on the touchscreen Nuendo window remains highlighted and in Focus on the main display , which is great.

Still cant use Zonea because of this, An example is that I also cannot use Zonea touch command to open left and right Nuendo zones because of the focus steeling, NOTE: this works fine in Chameleon

Many Thanks, all the best

Download version 3.1.4. In the Configuration section, you can find the option.
If you encounter any problems, just let us know.

PabloMartin Hi Pablo, fantastic, you have solved it with V3.1.4! Now working great. Am now onboard with Zonea after using my Chameleon template for years!

Many Thanks and all the very best

Will post seperately with some queries about MCU track names protocol which I never got to work properly.

one other thing regarding touch input. Is it possible to make it so the cursor/pointer also stays visible on the main display when touchscreen widget is touched? (i.e. so the mouse does not have to be moved or clicked to make cursor/pointer visible again)

edit: succesfully keeping curosr from hiding (when pressing Zonea widget) with an autohotkey script:

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
#SingleInstance Force

Persistent
SendMode "Input"
SetWorkingDir A_ScriptDir

_LButton::
{
DllCall("mouse_event", "UInt", 0x0001, "Int", 1, "Int", 0, "UInt", 0, "UPtr", 0)
DllCall("mouse_event", "UInt", 0x0001, "Int", -1, "Int", 0, "UInt", 0, "UPtr", 0)

}

It's on the roadmap, but it's not a top priority. If possible, though, I'd still like to add it.
Thank you for your kind words and for your time.
