okay bestie, gather round, because this little icon from UKUI-SETTINGS-DAEMON is about to make your mouse pointer the main character 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

usd-locate-pointer — create ripples around mouse pointer 🌊

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

usd-locate-pointer

that's it. no flags, no args, no drama. she just goes. periodt. 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the usd-locate-pointer utility is a program that literally creates ripples around your mouse pointer — like when you throw a stone into water 🌊🪨. iconic behaviour, honestly.

and what is that for, you ask? it helps you locate the position of the mousepointer. yes bestie, that's the whole point. your cursor was hiding in plain sight and this program said "not on my watch" ✨

also!! with ukui-settings-daemon it is possible to assign a hotkey for evoking the usd-locate-pointer command 🎹. so you can summon the ripples on demand. highkey obsessed.

ngl this is the "where's my cursor" feature and it ate. no cap. 🔥
