I find this hilarious. Is this an easter egg? When shaking my mouse cursor, I can get it to take up the whole screens height.
This is KDE Plasma 6.
Feels like a feature. The first time I tested this feature it was first: not dynamically textured, meaning that a small 32x32 pixel imagine got 256x256 or smth. And the size was limited.
Now its actually rendered like a vector graphics and funnily enough, its shaking never stops increasing the size. I love when fun is allowed on your desktop
I love this feature so much.
That’s my wife’s default cursor size
so your wife likes bbc (big black cursor)
haha nah its teal actually
Note: Only on Plasma 6.0
Nope, still functional as of Plasma 6.2.3 :)
I thought they meant “Not if you are still on Plasma 5” but maybe I misinterpreted it.
Correct. 6.0 is when it was introduced.
Ah sorry, I thought you meant that it was a bug introduced in 6.0 that was fixed or something
No worries. Updated for clarity.
This might get me to try KDE lol. I’ve used this feature on my Mac for years just when I get bored in meetings and I’ve always wanted it to grow to that size.
Thank you for doing the science for us. That was entertaining
thanks. I was trying to find this out but I’d constantly slip up and let it shrink.
Can confirm!
i hope someone working on KDE sees this and says “well this is unacceptable. we have to figure out why this is causing so much frame lag” and the ability to enhugen your cursor remains forever.
The cursor used to appear pixelated at high magnifications until they switched to it a vector to fix it, so definitely intentional
time for those groups of right lower-arm muscles to get their well-deserved spot in the limelight, lads 😎
An interesting side effect for mouse jiggler attacks
I’ve made it span my 2 monitors. It’s funny. Best feature yet.
You just have to turn it off. It’s an accessibility feature if you don’t want it:
It’s not big enough until the window manager crashes
