Hi !

Would be good !

MaartenBaert commented 10 years ago

You will have to give me some more details, I have no idea what you mean ...

msharp1 commented 10 years ago

Sorry, I thought it is pretty straight forward but indeed it's not ;) sometimes, screencast capture softwares 'encircle' (?) the cursor with a color so the watcher can follow where the cursor is going and clicking. (would be good to see a visual effect on click event but I don't know if it would be possible).

MaartenBaert commented 10 years ago

Sounds like #10. Check the last comment in that thread, it may be enough for what you're trying to do.

msharp1 commented 10 years ago

hmm. The tool that do mouse cursor tracking is KDE based but key-mon looks good for clicking event. So my suggestion's still valid if you think it is worth to implement an integrated feature like this. btw I'm taking a look at other tools that may exists

that's a feature built into compiz and compizconfig-settings-manager

msharp1 commented 10 years ago

Yes right. Well, the feature in compiz is a little overkill in terms of display effects (particles...). I was looking for something more sober ;)
