|
|
<P>Here are some ideas for rather simple X programs that might make
|
|
mouse cursors easier to track.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI> When a hot key is pressed display something (big cursor, small
|
|
window, shaped window) at pointer position for 0.5s.</LI>
|
|
<LI> use XRecolorCursor to change the mouse cursor color every 0.1s</LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
<P>A more demanding project would be <B>mouse trails</B> à la
|
|
windoze, i. e. when the mouse is moved and the mouse cursor needs
|
|
to be drawn in a different position, then the old mouse cursor does
|
|
not disappear at once, but after a short delay. Mouse trails would be
|
|
probably best implemented in a X server, but it might be feasible to
|
|
do it as a X client, or better as a proxy server (see section
|
|
<A HREF="X-Big-Cursor-5.html#tech">Technical discussion</A> for details).
