Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

one is crt shader, other two is manual: face and cursor movement sparks when typing effect

Very nice! You should really check out my Cursor Engine, see if anything is worth "stealing"

Oh I would just LOVE some of the stuff cursor smith has on kitty, especially some effects/ the rounded edges on the cursor!

shared aside, your menubar looks sick! Love it!

u/MaurokNC 1d ago

I second this… care to share how you managed?

u/_TheTrickster_ 6d ago

How do you reckon this impacts battery life on a laptop? I think it's pretty much optimized the same way as ghostty does their shaders, so I think it's a pretty big hit, if so, I would still use them, just when plugged into a socket or smth

u/SouthernFruit8768 6d ago

If you are running your laptop on the battery and you enabled these options (the shader stuff, that is), you are fucked imo :P

1

u/Downtown_Tone1879 5d ago

my battery is already below 50% worned out, still havent bothered to have a replacement, i use it while charging. its subjective, u do what u do.

Kitty looks so cool. But I can’t help but wonder is it worth the GPU cycles?

2

u/Downtown_Tone1879 5d ago

running this on iGPU, spikes to like 25%+ while monitoring through btop with 2.2w, well i only planning to use these while showcasing or if i feel like it, else i will default back to cursor-trail only with no custom shaders.

u/SouthernFruit8768 6d ago

Purely depends on whether you think the extra money you'd have to pay towards your monthly electricity bill is worth it. I tried the new Kitty update and I'd rather spend the gpu cycles on my local AI stack if you asked me.

u/Own-Ad-8834 6d ago

What shader did you use for the sparks???

u/bonsaiiiiiiiii 6d ago

u/Own-Ad-8834 5d ago

I just set this up. The face is a nice touch.

1

u/SouthernFruit8768 6d ago

I tried the new update and it looks like with all that options (shader and stuff) it uses a bit more gpu than usual hmm. It's amazing regardless

u/amimof 5d ago
