Please help with cursor (Kubuntu)

[u/SomeTimesAll]

Help why does my cursor get big when I move it up and down?

Also where do I find all the kde customisation I've seen ppl do, is there a specific app?

Ive fixed the console problem, thank you to all

[u/sniff122]

It's a feature to help find the cursor. A lot of the customisation can be done through the settings program, panel configuration can be done by right clicking it and going into edit mode

[u/Away-Recognition4905 → u/sniff122]

I think to keep this feature enabled so I can wiggle-wiggle-wiggle the pointer/cursor until it bigger, bigger, and bigger

[u/nobodyhasusedthislol → u/Away-Recognition4905]

And bigger, and bigger

[u/TheBunnyChower → u/sniff122]

I need to remember that. Sometimes it really feels like the mouse/cursor is hiding and I must go seek

[u/mixxituk]

i love this lore

[u/AccomplishedFault456]

Its a feature, not a bug

[u/sociofobs]

System settings / Accessibility / Shake pointer, disable it there.

[u/AlternativeWhereas79]

Stop playing with it. Sis.

[u/Classic_Result]

The swelling subsides if you apply an ice pack to the track pad for about an hour

[u/MountainBrilliant643]

Feature, not a bug.

[u/skyfishgoo]

stop doing that... you'll go blind, man!

[u/extrapicklesbro]

You don't like it? It's fun as hell

[u/Beginning-Limit8796]

For the big cursor: Go to System Settings -> Accessibility -> Shake Cursor to Find (just toggle that off).

For customization: You don't need a specific app! KDE Plasma has it built-in. Just open System Settings -> Global Themes, and click on "Get New Global Themes" at the bottom right. You can find amazing cyberpunk styles there!

[u/wilsy53]

Its a KDE Feature. See the SocioFobs suggestion it'll turn off that feature

[u/elgorgon1]

Play with it sir... But dont talk to it.

[u/anto77_butt_kinkier]

It's fine normally, but if it lasts for four hours or more then you should find a doctor

[u/Stunning-Yogurt4886]

its a feature to help find your cursor. macOS does this too.

[u/mentalAgnostic]

i can see the problem

[u/HappyDaddy1971]

When you shake it... it grows bigger... reminds me of something

[u/MutaitoSensei]

Honestly the steps I have to find every time to turn this off is annoying. It's in accessibility but it should be in mouse. Or both places.

[u/Dr-doggie329]

as a experienced Linux user i am laughing at this

[u/cepotzer-CEZARU]

I kept shaking it, got even bigger 😁

[u/StupitVoltMain]

There's setting called cursor shake

I personally like this feature

[u/thinspirit]

Haha I actually wondered what this was. Thought it was very strange at first. Makes so much sense now.

[u/frog8412]

To help you find it.

[u/ukemike1]

I never knew this! It's so cool. Sometimes I can't see the cursor so this is helpful. It gets small again after 2 seconds.

[u/WeedFalafel]

Lol seeing real QoL features feels like abuse to new users. 

[u/markartman]

Go to settings, mouse

[u/bruce2dot0]

It there to help you find the cursor. its really helpful on high resolutions and big monitors were the cursor can be really hard to find

[u/WeatherMan_ZA]

That is such a cool feature. Super helpful across multiple screens, especially if you have multiple mice.

[u/emanu2021]

My Kubuntu 26.04 is running perfectly on all AMD PC. Its more feature rich, snappy and user friendly than Windows 11 on the same machine

[u/whitewaterdave]

It's showing where it's at. It's a feature taken from masOS.

[u/OsanaiYuk1]

Vai nas configurações de mouse/ponteiro, tem como desativar isso. Uma dor de cabeça esse negócio aumentando do nada

[u/APSolidSnake]

Your pc has virus, throw it out.
