So uhh.. Looking at this image:

The one on the right is how my trail usually appears.. pretty short and it breaks when the cursor is moved fast.

The one on the left is how it sometimes appears - seems to happen randomly and only works on the menu.
Is there a way (or will there be a way) to make the trail appear longer at all times? T^T It looks so nice T^T!!

Length of long cursor trail is generally dependant on your fps. If you have low fps you will have right one.

If you don't have good fps you can improve that effect by making smaller cursor trail.Something like10x10 or less.

And you can notice how your fps is dropping while using that long trail.

I used to get a similar problem like this. Limiting the fps seemed to help it for me though.
Good luck with fixing it >3<

This happens when you have osu minimized for Some time, then opens it again, it happens to me all the time

It must be something else. I have this all the time... no matter what kind of option/size of trail I use always have that
shorter trail.

If you use cursormidle in your skin folder then it will look like this all the time, if not then it bugs like i said

I had the default cursor, the tail was like the one on the left. I change it for my own (cursor + cursor tail) and its looks like the one on the right, so I decided to add a cursormiddle and its come back to the first result, the long tail. I think, then, that the issue is the cursormiddle; with them the cursor tail looks long, without them its looks "cut". Is my hypothesis.

osu! for me

Because cursor middle changes behaviour of trail and we know already this. Problem is that people still have "short" trail even with cursor middle.

Okay, I'm retarded. The reason why my trail didn't worked correctly is because it had too big canvas (empty space between picture and border of image) on cursor trail...

I didn't completely read through it but if you haven't found a solution you have to make a cursormiddle.png image and its gonna instantly extend your cursortrail

you can make one yourself and i recommend a 1x1 transperant one if you dont want the cursor to be overlayed by it.
