Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.7) Installed from: Fedora RPMs OS: Linux IBM has a nice feature called "comet cursor", which displays a stream of fading dots behind the mouse cursor when it is moving quickly. The feature makes it easy to locate the cursor in a rats nest of windows, or in a bevy of display monitors. In particular, across my 4 display monitors, I typically have a collection of about 40 open windows. And, it takes time to find the cursor every time that I need it. If the "comet cursor" concept is unavailable, a growing cursor would accomplish the same objective. That is, the mouse cursor would grow with mouse cursor speed over a specific threshold (and shrink back down as the mouse slows). This would certainly save me time. Especially when the system isn't being responsive. Because I could determine in an instant that the system isn't being responsive (instead of searching for the cursor which may be hiding in a collection of windows that effectively obscure the mouse cursor).
Activate the Track Mouse effect in KWin's compositing effects and hold Meta+Ctrl.
Howdyhere! In which version of KDE does this feature appear? I am unable to find it in 3.5.8-1.fc6. Thank you. On Tue 18 December 2007 5:57 am, Lubos Lunak wrote: [bugs.kde.org quoted mail]
