🔍 Shake to Find (New)
Lost your cursor in the chaos of a raid? Shake your mouse side to side and the glow swells up so you can spot it instantly.
Adjust the sensitivity, boost size, and duration.
Works even when the glow is hidden in Combat Only mode.

💧 Click Ripples (New)
A ring ripples out wherever you click.
Choose separate colors for left and right click, pick your texture, and set the size and speed.

🪀 Elastic Follow (New)
Your glow chases the cursor like it's on a spring, overshooting and settling for a fun, lively feel.
Adjust how tightly it follows and how much it bounces.

🌈 Color Cycling (New)
Make your glow cycle through the rainbow, or softly breathe between two colors of your choice.
Adjust the speed and choose whether your tail joins in.

🎥 Hides While Turning the Camera (New)
When you hold a mouse button to turn your camera, the glow gracefully fades away instead of getting stuck in the middle of your screen. It pops right back when you let go.

✨ Stationary Sparkles
Delicate sparkles drift around your cursor while it sits still, and stop the moment you move.
Customize their color, texture, size, lifetime, and how often they appear.
Optionally dim the main glow so the sparkles really shine.

Left click to trigger a burst of particles around your cursor, with customizable colors, sizes, and textures.

✨ Pulse Effect
Your cursor gently pulses while it's still, adding a touch of magic to your UI.
Customize the size and speed.

Make your cursor glow spin smoothly, with adjustable speed. Works in every mode.

🪩 Bounce Effect
Add a playful up and down motion to your glow, with adjustable height and speed.

⚡ Dynamic Size
Your glow grows as you move faster, making quick motions pop.

🟩 Static Size Option
Prefer a steady look? Keep your glow locked at its maximum size at all times.

🌌 Over 30 Textures
Rings, stars, bursts, butterflies, swirls, Horde and Alliance crests, skulls, snowflakes, paw prints, and more.

🎨 Custom Colors and Class Colors
Pick any color with the full color picker, or match your class color with one click.

Achromatopsia: Converts everything to grayscale.
High Contrast: Turns every color into bright white or yellow for maximum visibility.
Applies to your glow, tails, sparkles, ripples, and explosions.

😴 Idle Indicator ("ZZZ")
A floating ZZZ appears above your cursor when you've been idle, so you never lose track of it.

🛡️ Choose When It Shows
Always on, Combat Only, Always Show on Cursor, or Disabled. You're in full control.

🖥️ Performance Controls
Low CPU Mode: Updates less often and shortens the tail for smoother play on older computers or during big fights.
Auto Disable on Low FPS: If your framerate drops, CursorGlow can turn itself off or switch to Low CPU Mode, then restores itself automatically once things smooth out.
Rebuilt from the ground up for smooth performance, even with multiple long tails.

🌍 Profiles
Use one global profile across all your characters, or give each character its own look.

🔧 Easy Configuration
Everything is set up through a simple menu in the WoW settings panel. Open it from the minimap button or type /cursorglow.
