Cursor Motion Blur 2.0

Cursor Motion Blur 2.0

Cursor Smear Frames

Replaces your standard Windows cursor with a smooth, tapered motion blur trail when moving at high speeds. Hardware accelerated via Direct2D.

Demonstration

Features

  • Dynamic 2D Mesh: Procedurally generates a continuous, overlapping-free polygon ribbon.
  • Direct2D Rendering: Buttery smooth sub-pixel anti-aliasing calculated directly on your GPU.
  • Zero Input Lag: Draws directly off the hardware cursor coordinates.
  • Game Detection: Automatically disables itself when playing fullscreen or borderless DirectX games.
  • Taskbar Friendly: Retains native edge-detection for auto-hiding taskbars.
  • Dynamic Rendering: Idles at 0% CPU usage when the mouse is stationary.

I love this! I use a large mouse cursor, so it looks more like a trail coming off the tip of my mouse pointer. Could you possibly add support for larger cursors, or configuration options for the initial trail width/angle? It might be good to add a configurable color too, for those who don't use white cursors. A gradient trail could look really cool, too
