SlickCursor

Never lose sight of your cursor.

SlickCursor makes the World of Warcraft mouse easier to find with polished cursor styles, coordinated color themes, crosshairs, animated trails, click feedback, and situational visibility controls—all wrapped around the familiar cursor interaction you already use.

Find your cursor when the screen gets busy

Keep the mouse visible during combat, movement, crowded encounters, and everyday interface use. SlickCursor adds a clear visual layer around the cursor without interfering with normal mouse interaction.

👁 Visibility that adapts

• Use Smart Fade to reduce opacity while the cursor is idle.
• Enable Combat Only when you want effects exclusively during combat.
• Apply independent Combat and Instance Boosts for extra visibility when it matters.
• Hide effects automatically during pet battles.
• Use Cursor Prediction to reduce the visible gap between the hardware cursor and its effects.
• Adjust scale, active and idle opacity, offsets, and frame layer.

Build a cursor that feels like yours

Choose a cursor shape independently from its colors, then combine it with a coordinated three-color Slick theme or your own custom palette.

✨ Seven cursor styles

• Soft Glow
• Blizzard Hand
• Dungeon High-Vis
• Hand Glow
• Minimal
• Neon Ring
• Targeting Reticle

🎨 Theme-driven color

• Choose from a large library of Slick-family themes.
• Create a custom Low, Mid, and High color palette.
• Reverse the theme order for an instant alternate look.
• Adjust overall effect brightness.
• Fine-tune the spread and intensity of the Hand Glow style.

Turn movement and clicks into visual feedback

Layer crosshairs, motion trails, and click bursts onto compatible cursor styles. Each component can be enabled and tuned independently, so the result can be subtle, expressive, or built for maximum visibility.

➕ Crosshairs

Choose Plus, X, Ring, Target, Corner Brackets, or Diamond, then adjust its size and line thickness.

💫 Animated trails

Choose Soft Dots, Comet, Ribbon, Spark Chain, Twinkling Stars, or Crosshair Echo, with controls for length, duration, size, and spacing.

🖱 Click bursts

Show a configurable burst when either mouse button is pressed. Tune its size, strength, and duration, or keep active bursts attached to the cursor with Follow Cursor.

Save a look for every situation

Create complete appearance profiles for different characters, activities, accessibility needs, or UI layouts. Profiles can be saved, loaded, renamed, deleted, imported, and exported directly from the options panel.

Make it yours

• Mix cursor styles, crosshairs, trails, and click bursts independently.
• Match every compatible effect with a preset or custom three-color theme.
• Tune animation speed, effect size, opacity, brightness, duration, and spacing.
• Use the live sidecar preview to see motion, pulse, trails, and click bursts while you adjust them.
• Scale the options panel itself for your screen and UI setup.
• Save finished appearances as reusable, shareable profiles.

Type /slickcursor or /scursor to open the options panel.

If SlickCursor makes your cursor easier to find and your interface a little more expressive, you can help support its continued development by buying me a coffee. Every bit is appreciated, but never expected.
