Frogski Cursor Trail adds a smooth, animated trail to your mouse cursor in World of Warcraft
It’s meant to be flexible and easy to tweak until it looks exactly how you want.

If you like visual feedback, gradients and rainbows or just knowing where your cursor actually is — this addon is for you.

Main Features

Camera Look Over UI (RMB Look)

Optional feature that lets you rotate the camera with Right Mouse Button even when your cursor is over UI elements.

  • Toggle per profile
  • Optional “only in combat” mode

Cursor Highlight While Looking

When camera look is active:

  • A visual indicator shows where your cursor actually is
  • Useful because the cursor itself disappears while mouselooking
  • Size is configurable
  • Can be enabled or disabled independently from camera look

Nuke Button 💣

There’s a “Nuke All Settings” button if you really mess things up:

  • Deletes all profiles
  • Resets everything to defaults
  • Asks for confirmation first (don’t worry 😄)

Have fun, and enjoy the glow 🐸💚
