yeah, I have a 65" TV connected and it gets comically large. I wouldn't be nearly as productive without it.

I knew the cursor got bigger but I didn't know it would keep growing.

I've never even tried this, but now I'm gonna have to give it a whirl.

Doesn't work for me in KDE anymore???

Edit:
It stopped working because I switched back to X11, it only works in Wayland, but I had to switch back, I think it was because some hot keys don't work and can't be configured under Wayland. Or at least couldn't when I configured my system about a year ago.

Now that I think about it, I should shake the cursor in KDE more.

I use it probably ten times a day!

That was the thing I texted my friends about when I started using KDE. 😄 I loved it, perfect self-affording feature.

I sometimes do it at work out of boredom

I did it often until i learned it crashes some games :(

I tried KDE once (normally a GNOME user) and I couldn't stop shaking the mouse to see how absurdly large I could make it. 😂

Yeah, I had not realized it was growing and growing further. I just played with it. It got huge.

Now there's no coming back. If you take away that feature, be ready for WAR!

The cube thing from compiz had a similar effect back in the earlier years of Ubuntu.

Yeah, I love just shaking the mouse when I'm bored or waiting for something to finish downloading.

Well, my first thought was also “I need to try it” so they are not alone

Wait until they find it you can make the windows wiggle when you shake them.

I have the pipes screensaver and space cadet pinball (I use Arch btw)

The Gnome waiter just stares in shock and confusion when you mention that you have nut allergy

The gnome type of restaurant is called prix fixe, and it very much exists.

Yes, and the low-resolution pointer when you do this excessively is just unacceptable. I'm glad they're finally addressing this pressing concern.

That's coincidentally also what I do when I can't find my dick

KDE - We added a neat accessibility feature.

Gnome - THIS GOES AGAINST EVERYTHING WE STAND FOR AND ANYONE ASKING FOR IT SHOULD FEEL BAD!

I turned it off. I never need it or want it. But I won't hate anyone else who uses it like gnome devs do.

It's also a nice time waster to try and see how big you can get it before whatever it is you're waiting for is done

I think it’s more “I found a thing that’s technically wrong and fixed it” and that shit pays dividends down the road when technology changes and people forget this was ever an issue. They solved it now so they don’t have to solve it later.

Blank screen from cursor shake goes hard.

fuck it, we ball cube

This is KDE we're talking about, so it would definitely be "fuck it, we kube".

Well who needs systrays anyways? While we're at it, let's remove theming support too! Surely nobody would miss that feature?

I really miss KDE. Sadly my experience with new major versions (5, 6) tends to be that plasma is unstable for daily use for at least a year or two. I'll be back once things settle down a bit.

"we've determined that nobody needs this feature"

How? Trust me bro! Users hate features, they get all confused and stuff. That's why nobody should ever choose anything, the OS should just be shit forever. We also get paid by Microsoft and IBM coincidentally.

Dude, everyone I show this too loves this feature. It's such a simple solution to an ongoing issue.

yeah, I mean, I only have 2 monitors, but since I use the sway window manager, I have it configured to automatically highlight the window that my cursor is under, so it kind of supersedes the need for a cursor locator. And all but my active window are set to dim as well, makes finding where I'm at much easier.

I feel like it could easily be explained in a tutorial or something I completely ignored, found out about it by sitting a mouse on corner of glass desk.

But ar least it's without features that few people are going to use, so there's that.
