MouseFinder

MouseFinder — lightweight WoW addon that draws a clear circle around your mouse cursor so it’s easy to find in combat and crowded UI setups (WeakAuras compatibility removed for 12.0 / Midnight).
  • Overview
    • MouseFinder is a tiny, focused World of Warcraft addon that draws a performant, configurable circle around your mouse cursor. It was created to make the cursor easier to locate during hectic fights while remaining lightweight and addon-friendly. Note: WeakAuras will not be supported in 12.0 / Midnight, so MouseFinder provides a native, future-proof alternative.
  • Key features
    • • Clear, persistent ring around the mouse cursor (no WeakAuras required)
    • • Low CPU/memory usage — built for performance during combat
    • • Simple configuration: color, radius, thickness, and visibility options
    • • Automatically scales with UI and camera zoom for consistent appearance
    • • No external dependencies — standalone Lua addon
  • Installation
    1. Download the release for your game version.
    2. Extract or place the MouseFinder folder into your World of Warcraft Interface/AddOns/ directory.
    3. Launch the game (or run /reload if already logged in).
  • Usage & configuration
    • Open the in-game AddOns panel (Interface → AddOns) and locate MouseFinder for basic options.
    • Typical configurable options include ring color, radius, thickness, and whether the circle is shown only in combat, always, or never.
    • If you prefer editing files, configuration values can be adjusted in the addon's saved variables file (SavedVariables/MouseFinder.lua).
  • Compatibility & requirements
    • Written in Lua and designed as a standalone addon. No libraries or external dependencies required.
    • Built for modern Retail builds of World of Warcraft. It may work in Classic but that configuration has not been explicitly tested — please report issues if you try it in Classic.

  • FAQ
    • Q: Why not use WeakAuras?
      A: WeakAuras are powerful, but support for them is being removed in 12.0 / Midnight. MouseFinder is a minimal, always-available, native solution that avoids per-character WeakAura setup and ensures the feature continues working after the 12.0 changes.
    • Q: The ring is too big/small — how do I change it?
      A: Adjust the radius/scale in the addon options or in the saved variables file.
