SlickCursor

SlickCursor is a lightweight, highly customizable cursor-enhancement addon for World of Warcraft. It makes the mouse easier to locate with polished Slick-family cursor styles, three-color themes, crosshairs, animated trails, click bursts, situational visibility boosts, cursor prediction, profiles, and a live configuration preview.

Features

• High-Visibility Cursor Effects: Adds customizable visual effects around the mouse cursor without replacing normal cursor interaction.
• Multiple Cursor Styles: Choose from Soft Glow, Blizzard Hand, Dungeon High-Vis, Hand Glow, Minimal, Neon Ring, or Targeting Reticle.
• Blizzard Hand Support: Keep the familiar Blizzard hand cursor by itself or surround it with a configurable glow.
• Three-Color Themes: Every compatible effect can use coordinated Low, Mid, and High theme colors.
• Large Theme Library: Choose from a broad collection of preset Slick-family themes or create a custom three-color palette.

• Animated Motion Trails: Choose from Soft Dots, Comet, Ribbon, Spark Chain, Twinkling Stars, or Crosshair Echo.
• Click Burst Effects: Displays a customizable burst whenever either mouse button is pressed.
• Follow-Cursor Bursts: Active click bursts can remain attached to the cursor instead of staying at the original click position.
