    How to make a custom mouse trail.


    Is there a way to modify the built in mouse trail feature, to make it smoother or make a custom trail. Or is there a way to draw images on the screen where the cursor is above any window. I have tried transparent windows by changing a colour to transparent and that doesnt work.

    :)

    The combination of DX11, Mouse Pointer Trails and Fullscreen Games means no mouse cursor.

    Hi,

    For Mouse Pointer Trails, refer the steps below.

    Step 1: Click the bottom-left Start button on the desktop, enter
    mouse in the blank box and tap Mouse in the search results to open Mouse Properties.

    Step 2: Choose Pointer Options, select
    Display pointer trails     and hit OK.

    Tip: To specify the length of pointer trails, you can move the
    small scale in Visibility to left or right.

    Also for the mouse issue, I suggest you to download the latest drivers for mouse from the manufacturer's website and check. Install the drivers in compatible mode and check as well.

    I suggest you to run the game in Direct X12 as this is the latest in Windows 10. Check if the issue persist.

    Hope this helps. Get back to us for further queries. We are happy to help!

    I'm looking for a way to customize this effect with different animations

    You could consider CursorFX from Stardock:

    How to make a custom mouse trail.

    Ghostly or wispy trails appearing after words, icons, objects on desktop and in apps. I did this inadvertantly using "personalize" or "display" setrtings but dpn't kmow how to correct.

    Hi George,

    The trails you're referring to is called pointer trails which is being enabled in the settings. We recommend that you adjust the settings to address this matter. Follow the steps below:

    • Go to Settings > Click Devices.
    • On the left panel, choose Mouse.
    • Select Additional mouse options.
    • Go to Pointer Options > Uncheck Display pointer trails.
    • Click Apply then OK.

    Keep us posted with the result.
