Can you see the difference? Well it turns out that in the picture on the left the "Pict" in "Pictionary" has a lighter background than the "Pict" on the right.

Don't believe me? I don't blame you... at first I didn't believe me either. So I opened up my trusty copy of gimp and used the handy dandy threshold tool.

The results were clear -- your mouse does indeed act like a tiny tab spotlight! Mouse over the images above and see for yourself.
