The new site has been completely redesigned and developed by TruckleSoft, with a focus on simplicity, speed, and style. Visitors can now easily browse the full range of treatments, meet the friendly team, read verified customer reviews, and book appointments — all from one easy-to-use site.

Behind the scenes, the project also includes a custom-built admin panel that gives the salon team complete control over their website content, reviews, team profiles, and bookings. This system was designed to replace the previous Premier Spa software, offering a more flexible, web-based solution tailored to The Health & Beauty Centre’s real workflow.

✨ Key Highlights

• Clean, modern design that works beautifully on phones, tablets, and desktops
• Easy-to-update admin dashboard for staff management and content updates
• Built-in reviews system

“It’s been a pleasure working with The Health & Beauty Centre team on this project,” says developer Andrew Truckle, founder of TruckleSoft. “We wanted to give them a website that feels just as polished as their salon — and an admin system that makes running it a whole lot easier.”

Some features—both front end and back end—are still being refined. Come take a look!

What Is ‘Center Cursor on Screen’?

Designed with the Audio-Visual Team in mind, this tool addresses the common issue of losing track of the mouse cursor across various screens. Whether you’re managing presentations, operating video feeds, or handling other AV responsibilities, this utility ensures your cursor is always within reach.

Key Features

• Instant Cursor Centering: With global hotkeys (CTRL + ALT + 1, 2, 3, or 4), you can instantly center the mouse on a specific monitor. This is particularly useful in setups with multiple displays of varying sizes and resolutions.​
• System Tray Integration: The application runs silently in the system tray, allowing quick access without cluttering your taskbar. Right-clicking the tray icon provides options to view the ‘About’ window, manage startup settings, or exit the application.

• User-Friendly Installer: The installer is designed for ease of use, offering options to launch the application post-installation and to start it automatically upon login. It also ensures only a single instance runs, preventing hotkey conflicts.​

Recent Updates

The latest version, 1.2.0, introduces a helpful popup notification if any hotkeys are already registered by other applications, ensuring smooth operation without conflicts. Previous updates have included a refreshed application icon, improved installer behaviour, and enhanced hotkey functionality.

Download and Support

Center Cursor on Screen is a compact 3.16MB download, compatible with Windows 10 and 11. You can download it directly using the button below, which links to the installer on the Theocratic Software ¹ website.

If you have questions, encounter any issues, or want to suggest improvements, please visit the Center Cursor GitHub repository ². You can raise tickets, participate in discussions, and find more information in the wiki.

Whether you’re part of an AV team or simply someone who juggles multiple monitors, Center Cursor on Screen offers a straightforward solution to keep your cursor where you need it, when you need it.

Tackling the Toughest Challenge: Auto Assign

One of the most challenging features to implement was the automatic assignment¹ functionality within the assignments editor. It needed to feel natural, intelligent, and flexible—all while respecting the diverse needs of congregations. Balancing those expectations with technical feasibility pushed me to think creatively and improve the way the software handles data and logic.

A Global Collaboration

As MSA evolved, supporting multiple languages became increasingly important. Today, the app is translated—fully or partially—into more than 50 languages. This wouldn’t have been possible without the help of a wonderful group of volunteers. Collaborating with them has been a highlight of this journey.

Some languages were particularly tricky—Arabic, for example, brought unique challenges due to its right-to-left layout. But solving those problems helped the application become more inclusive and accessible for users everywhere.

Discovering the Power of XSLT

Another major turning point came when a fellow translator introduced me to XSLT transformations². That opened up a whole new level of flexibility, allowing users to customize how their schedules are rendered and exported. Even now, I’m still discovering new ways to leverage XSLT to make MSA more powerful and adaptable.

Modernizing with WebView2

Bringing MSA into the modern era also meant finding ways to blend traditional technologies like MFC with modern web capabilities. Learning to work with WebView2³ was both fascinating and rewarding.

It enabled the integration of sleek, interactive elements right within the app—something that would’ve been difficult, if not impossible, using MFC alone.

One task that became significantly easier with WebView2 was saving schedules to PDF. Now, it’s possible to print and save directly to PDF, making the process far simpler and more reliable than with MFC alone.

Embracing Calendar Synchronisation

One of the more transformative additions to Meeting Schedule Assistant was support for calendar synchronisation. This journey began with a VB.NET console application that integrated with Google Calendar⁴. Encouraged by its usefulness, I later added support for Outlook Calendar⁵.

More recently, the Outlook synchronization tool was completely rewritten from the ground up using C# and .NET 8.0, providing a more robust, maintainable, and modern solution. The original VB.NET-based Google Calendar tool remains in place for now.

Enhancing the Editing Experience with Scintilla

As the application matured, I found it increasingly important to improve the text editing experience—especially for advanced users managing custom scripts or templates. That’s when I turned to the Scintilla control⁶. Learning how to integrate and customize Scintilla was a turning point.

It allowed me to offer powerful features like syntax highlighting, line numbers, and code folding, all of which made the Script Editor⁷ much more intuitive and productive. Rather than building an editor from scratch, Scintilla provided a flexible foundation that could be styled and extended to suit the application’s needs.

Embracing the Dark Side

Most recently, I was thrilled to finally add dark mode⁸ support. That might sound simple, but it was no small feat given that MFC doesn’t natively support dark themes. Getting it to work across the application required creative workarounds and careful design, but the results have made the app much easier on the eyes—especially during long hours of use.

A Project That Keeps Giving

Looking back, it’s been an incredible experience—one filled with constant learning, collaboration, and the joy of creating something that helps others. Meeting Schedule Assistant has come a long way, and the journey is far from over. I’m excited to keep building, improving, and supporting this project for as long as it’s needed.
