SUMMARY

I could have sworn I saw it in a previous KDE release. but apparently, it was only a dream. I used to love it on Windows as a kid. I wanted to enable it for my 9 years old that uses KDE everyday.

Would be great if you could add this effect.

once enabled, the same mouse cursor should remain on screen as you move your mouse and they slowly disappear after a few seconds.

EXPECTED RESULT

Watch this video from second 49 as an example

I don't want to track ideas for new effects in our bug tracker unless they solve a real world problem.

We do have an extensive effects API to allow others to extend. Maybe someone will.
