To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. sudo apt install vokoscreen-ng (on Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS)
2. ./vokoscreenNG
3. inspect appearing window

Expected behavior An extra item in the left sidebar as seen on the github readme allowing enabling mouse cursor location and click highlighting during recording

Additional context The vokoscreenNG version reported is 3.0.2, probably old. Is there a more recent precompiled package available?
