Release notes:
- changed the event tap code
- macos catalina 10.15 now requires user permission for “screen recording” to allow apps like pixelstick to see the contents of the screen. now fixed
- when building pixelstick with xcode versions 10 and above: the window is no longer transparent, so you only see pixelstick on a grey background covering the whole screen. this is now fixed.
 
if you have any issue make sure you uncheck and check the permissions for pixelstick in privacy:accessibility, privacy:input monitoring and privacy:screenrecording.
