The digital companion to Crossbow Education’s coloured overlay range.
Tint and Track V3 includes all 16 Crossbow coloured overlay colours as standard, matching our complete physical coloured overlay range. This allows users to work with the same trusted colour when reading printed materials or digital content, creating a consistent and personalised reading experience across paper and screen.
What’s New in Tint and Track V3?
Simplified User Interface
A cleaner and more intuitive interface makes it quicker and easier to personalise settings and access the features used most often.
Expanded Crossbow Colour Range
Six additional overlay colours have been added to match the latest additions to Crossbow Education’s physical coloured overlay range. Tint and Track V3 therefore includes all 16 Crossbow overlay colours as standard.
Enhanced Multi-Monitor Functionality
Each connected monitor now has its own independently adjustable overlay, allowing the overlay to be positioned and resized separately on each screen while retaining the same selected colour across the complete setup. We have also added in the functionality to control the reading rulers independently on each screen.
Enhanced Security
As verified publishers for Microsoft we have strengthened our security features even further and provide improved support for modern installation and deployment across education, workplace and personal devices.

Tint and Track is programmed to sit in front of the applications displayed on your screen. This allows its coloured overlays and reading support tools to be used over virtually any program, rather than being limited to a particular browser or application.
This is a selection of the applications it can be used over, however it should sit infront of any application you have open:
Microsoft Office applications
Web browsers
PDF readers
Email applications
Learning platforms
Business software
Remote desktop sessions and remote screens
Projected displays
