Description Jonas Kölker 2008-11-08 04:57:49 UTC
I like glitzy effects, and I want the location of my mouse pointer shown with glitzy effects.  However, I just need a visual cue to pinpoint its location once, not continuously.  Having to hit a key to disable the visual cue slows me down and limits my productivity [admittedly not much, but some].

It would be good if Show Mouse had a one-shot mode.  One idea is to have the emitters spiral inwards, with the radius going linearly from ${radius} to 0 in the time it it would take the emitters to move two full circles.

(version: 1:0.7.8-0ubuntu4)

This is the compiz bug tracker, not the compiz fusion tracker which is located at bugs.opencompositing.org.

Please report your suggestion there so that we can track it properly. Thanks.
