I find this hilarious. Is this an easter egg? When shaking my mouse cursor, I can get it to take up the whole screens height.
This is KDE Plasma 6.
It’s not big enough until the window manager crashes
You just have to turn it off. It’s an accessibility feature if you don’t want it:
I’ve made it span my 2 monitors. It’s funny. Best feature yet.
An interesting side effect for mouse jiggler attacks
time for those groups of right lower-arm muscles to get their well-deserved spot in the limelight, lads 😎
i hope someone working on KDE sees this and says “well this is unacceptable. we have to figure out why this is causing so much frame lag” and the ability to enhugen your cursor remains forever.
Note: Only on Plasma 6.0 (edit: and up)
Nope, still functional as of Plasma 6.2.3 :)
I thought they meant “Not if you are still on Plasma 5” but maybe I misinterpreted it.
Correct. 6.0 is when it was introduced.
I keep trying it on 5 and then remembering and being sad.Ah sorry, I thought you meant that it was a bug introduced in 6.0 that was fixed or something
No worries. Updated for clarity.
Can confirm!
This might get me to try KDE lol. I’ve used this feature on my Mac for years just when I get bored in meetings and I’ve always wanted it to grow to that size.
It has replaced idly making selection squares on the desktop.
"Time for my favourite game, is there a limit?
–several hours later –
if there is I couldn’t find it but check out my frame rate now"
Ahh another sophisticated LetsGameItOut enjoyer. Right on. :D
“Got it, got it, goooot it…” (DrKonqi coredump) “Perfect!” (Fanfare)
My kids love making the cursor fill the screen.
Feature moment
I hope it’s never changed, absolutely fabulous
Managed to get it to fill a whole 1200x1920 (not a typo, screen is sideways) screen without shrinking once. It is always fun to do.
I love this feature so much.
