Cursor Options

A lightweight World of Warcraft addon that improves cursor visibility and provides at-a-glance combat information through efficient, combat-safe overlays.

Features

Cursor Ring

A colored ring around your cursor that makes it easy to track during intense gameplay. Grows when hovering over interactive objects or units. Multiple texture options: Thick Glow (Blizzard atlas with soft halo), Thick/Medium/Thin gradient variants.

Center Dot

A small filled circle at the exact cursor center. Independent color and size from the ring. Optionally hides when interacting.

GCD Indicator

Shows global cooldown progress around the cursor. Three styles: Swipe (engine-rendered fill), Ring (expanding ring texture) and Arc (ring-shaped sweep). Configurable direction and start point. Multiple arc textures: Thick Progressive (Blizzard atlas), Thick/Medium/Thin gradient variants. Edge glow dot option for Arc style.

Cast Bar Ring

Displays spell cast and channel progress as a ring around the cursor. Same three styles as the GCD indicator. Channels follow Blizzard-standard behavior (start full and drain). Optional separate color for channeled spells. Edge glow and leading edge options. Configurable completion pulse animation on successful casts.

Tooltip Anchoring

Moves the default game tooltip to follow the cursor. Dynamic mode automatically picks the best side based on screen position with combat-locked direction and edge-anchored growth (tooltip always expands away from cursor). Includes configurable dwell time, health bar hiding, item level display for nearby players (Equipped/Bags/PvP breakdown for your own character), mount name display, ID display for spells, items, auras, toys, quests and achievements, and combat mode options (follow cursor, hide or use default position).

Profiles

Create, delete, copy, rename, import and export named profiles with per-character assignment.

Performance

• Cursor tracking: one lightweight OnUpdate per frame — only active when at least one feature is enabled
• GCD indicator: uses the native Cooldown widget — sweep animation runs in the C++ engine
• Tooltip hook: event-driven, fires only when tooltips appear
• When all features are disabled: zero per-frame cost

Commands

• /co — open the settings panel
• Also available via the addon compartment button
