Readme

Cursor Glow

Draws a glowing ribbon that follows your mouse pointer across every screen, so the cursor is impossible to lose during a screen share, a demo, or a class.

Not part of the default set — install it from the Coco Store.

Usage

  • Start Cursor Glow opens the overlay.
  • Stop Cursor Glow closes it.

The overlay is a full-screen, transparent, click-through window pinned above normal windows and shown on all Spaces, so it never intercepts a click and never gets hidden behind the app you are actually demoing. Clicking anywhere sends a ripple out from the pointer.

Themes

Set Flame Theme in the plugin's preferences. The overlay restarts itself when you change it, so you can compare themes without stopping and starting.

Theme Core → edge
Fire (default) yellow → deep red
Frost near-white → sky blue
Venom acid green → forest green
Arcane lavender → violet
Sakura pale pink → magenta

Notes

  • The trail is a smoothed (Catmull-Rom) ribbon that tapers from the pointer back over roughly 350 ms, so it reads as motion rather than as a line.
  • Nothing is recorded and nothing leaves your Mac: the plugin receives pointer coordinates from Coco and paints them into its own canvas.
  • Pointer tracking uses ordinary mouse-move events, so no Accessibility or Screen Recording permission is required.

Let your AI do this

Copy the prompt, or send it straight to the AI you already use — it drives Coco through the same commands you would type yourself.

Install the Coco skill (npx skills add butterflydream-ai/Coco --skill coco -g -y), then use coco to install the "Cursor Glow" plugin from the Coco Store and turn it on.
