Pretty simple request, I'm just suggesting that there be a code toggle in skin ini's that allow for the same cursor tail behavior as the default one.

Because the default tail has the best "imo" effect lets take a side by side look shall we?

normal custom cursor tail effect.


super sexy default effect.


Things that can be noted is that the default tail is much longer and what I think is the refresh rate of the image is higher i could be wrong about that, but with current custom defaults it just looks as if it is sort after imaging the image file used for the tail I'm not sure of that tho either. I just want super sexy long tails :P

replace your cursortrail.png with a small circle of about 8 pixels diameter and gaussian blur it by around 5 pixels. It should produce the same effect.

Edit: I tried it. The default skin really produces cooler effects >.< okay now I support this xD

although I think it 'd be nice if we could set how slow cursor trail fades out and how many images per second it prints via the skin.ini.

yeah it was stated way back when the effect was made it was a bit different than how the other tail works, I just can't recall what exactly

First, why is it diferent in the first place? and why does the default skin have a non-spinning blue cross and other skins cant have that? maye peppy wanted to make his skin special, but we want to make special skins too. Support :D

wat. add a blue cross to the center of your cursor.png and make sure CursorRotate is set to 0 in your skin.ini

First, default skin cursor is made out of 3 elements. Cursor, cursor trail and that blue cross (funny thing when I'm changing skin, I need to restart game if I want that cross to appear).
Second, I remember that it was discussed right after new default skin update (sadly don't remember where :/ ).

Anyway, this could give nice effects and increase cursor visibility.

Support, I've thought there was a skin.ini toggle for this for ages only to find it is not existent.

Look at the difference of using normal cursor tails and custom tail even when using custom skin~

Custom skin, Custom tail



Custom skin, original tail~

Due to the fill required by the new default trail, I am not prepared to make it customisable. There is very little you could do apart from change the size (to be smaller) and colour. I may offer colour changing ability if there is enough support for that, I guess.

Yes by adding a cursor-middle.png the trail behaves like the default one. ㅅㅅ
