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’ve made it span my 2 monitors. It’s funny. Best feature yet.
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.
An interesting side effect for mouse jiggler attacks
The cursor used to appear pixelated at high magnifications until they switched to it a vector to fix it, so definitely intentional
It has replaced idly making selection squares on the desktop.
"Time for my favourite game, is there a limit?
–several hours later –
if there is I couldn’t find it but check out my frame rate now"
Ahh another sophisticated LetsGameItOut enjoyer. Right on. :D
“Got it, got it, goooot it…” (DrKonqi coredump) “Perfect!” (Fanfare)
time for those groups of right lower-arm muscles to get their well-deserved spot in the limelight, lads 😎
My kids love making the cursor fill the screen.
Feature moment
I hope it’s never changed, absolutely fabulous
I love this feature so much.
Note: Only on Plasma 6.0 (edit: and up)
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.
Managed to get it to fill a whole 1200x1920 (not a typo, screen is sideways) screen without shrinking once. It is always fun to do.
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.
You just have to turn it off. It’s an accessibility feature if you don’t want it:
Nope, thats a different topic.
