Leaves a smooth, colorful rainbow gradient trail behind the cursor. # Cursor Rainbow Trail - Add a Splash of Magic to Your Browser! Elevate your browsing experience with Cursor Rainbow Trail, the ultimate Chrome extension for those who want to add a touch of whimsy, color, and delight to their daily digital life. Imagine every move of your mouse leaving behind a beautiful, fluid rainbow gradient that follows your lead across the screen. Whether you're working on a deadline, browsing your favorite blogs, or just exploring the web, Cursor Rainbow Trail turns every interaction into a visual masterpiece. ## What is Cursor Rainbow Trail? Cursor Rainbow Trail is a lightweight, high-performance extension designed to bring a sense of joy and personalization to your web browser. As you move your cursor, it generates a series of colorful particles that form a smooth, flowing trail. These particles are elegantly animated, fading out over time to create a dynamic effect that is both eye-catching and soothing. It's not just a visual effect; it's a way to make your browser feel more "alive" and uniquely yours. ## Key Features ### 1. Smooth, Colorful Rainbow Gradients The core of the extension is its stunning rainbow trail. Using advanced CSS transitions and HSL color cycling, the trail shifts through the entire spectrum of colors as you move. The result is a vibrant, seamless flow that looks professional and polished. ### 2. Fully Configurable Settings We believe in giving you complete control over your experience. Through our intuitive popup menu, you can customize every aspect of your trail: - **Trail Width:** Choose between a subtle, thin line or a bold, thick trail. Adjust it from a delicate 2px to a substantial 50px to match your style. - **Trail Length:** Control how many particles follow your cursor. A shorter trail provides a quick "flicker" of color, while a longer trail (up to 100 particles) creates a long, lingering ribbon of light. - **Color Cycle Speed:** Want the colors to shift rapidly for a high-energy look? Or would you prefer a slow, meditative transition? The speed slider lets you find the perfect pace for your mood. ### 3. Magical Glitter Mode ✨ For those who want extra whimsy, our exclusive Glitter Mode adds randomly sized sparkle particles to the trail. These white, glowing "glitter" pieces dance around your main rainbow trail, adding a layer of depth and "magic" to every movement. It’s perfect for adding that extra bit of delight to your day. ### 4. High Performance and Low Resource Usage We’ve optimized Cursor Rainbow Trail to be as efficient as possible. It uses modern web technologies like `requestAnimationFrame` and CSS transitions to ensure smooth 60fps animations without slowing down your computer or draining your battery. The extension is smart enough to clean up after itself, removing particles from the DOM immediately after they fade out. ### 5. Works Everywhere Cursor Rainbow Trail is designed to work seamlessly across almost all websites. From your favorite social media platforms to complex web applications, your colorful companion will be there to light the way. ## Why You'll Love It In a world of static web pages and monochromatic interfaces, Cursor Rainbow Trail offers a breath of fresh air. It provides instant visual feedback that makes navigating the web feel more interactive and engaging. It’s particularly great for: - **Designers and Creatives:** Add some inspiration to your workspace. - **Students and Researchers:** Make long hours of reading and searching more enjoyable. - **Kids and the Young at Heart:** Turn the browser into a playground of color. - **Anyone who loves personalization:** Stand out from the crowd with a browser that reflects your personality. ## How to Get Started Setting up Cursor Rainbow Trail is as easy as clicking "Add to Chrome." 1. Install the extension. 2. Look for the Rainbow icon in your extension toolbar. 3. Click the icon to open the settings menu. 4. Adjust the sliders to your liking. 5. Hit "Save Settings" and watch the magic happen! ## Privacy and Security First Your privacy is our priority. Cursor Rainbow Trail: - Does NOT collect any personal data. - Does NOT track your browsing history. - Does NOT communicate with any external servers (except for the optional welcome and uninstall pages on our homepage). - All your settings are stored locally on your device using Chrome's secure storage API. ## Visual Accessibility and Customization We understand that every user has different visual preferences and needs. That’s why Cursor Rainbow Trail is designed with accessibility in mind. By allowing you to adjust the width and speed of the trail, you can ensure that the visual effect is helpful and delightful without being distracting or overwhelming. - **High Visibility:** If you often lose track of your cursor on large monitors or high-resolution displays, a thicker, brightly colored trail can serve as a perfect visual anchor. - **Low-Stimulation Mode:** For those who prefer a more subtle experience, setting the trail width to its minimum and the length to a short duration creates a gentle "spark" of color that doesn't dominate the screen. - **Motion Sensitivity:** We've ensured that the animations are smooth and follow standard easing curves. If you are sensitive to fast motion, simply lower the color cycle speed for a more tranquil experience. ## Tips for the Best Experience To get the most out of Cursor Rainbow Trail, try these fun configurations: - **The "Neon Ribbon":** Set Trail Width to 15px, Length to 60, and Speed to 12. This creates a long, vibrant ribbon that feels like you're painting with light across your browser. - **The "Magic Wand":** Enable Glitter Mode, set Width to 5px, and Length to 20. Your cursor will feel like a magic wand casting tiny sparkles as you navigate. - **The "Subtle Glow":** Set Width to 30px, Length to 5, and Speed to 2. This creates a soft, pulsing glow around your cursor that changes color slowly and soothingly. - **The "Electric Trail":** Max out the Speed and set Width to 8px. Watch as the colors pulse rapidly, giving your browsing session a high-energy, futuristic feel. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Does it work in Incognito Mode?** Yes! You can enable Cursor Rainbow Trail in Incognito Mode by going to your Chrome Extension settings and toggling the "Allow in Incognito" switch. Your trail will be there even when you're browsing privately. **Will it slow down my computer?** Absolutely not. The extension is built using optimized JavaScript and CSS. It uses the browser's native hardware acceleration to render the trail, ensuring that the impact on your CPU and RAM is negligible. **Can I turn it off temporarily?** While we don't have a dedicated "Off" switch yet, you can simply set the Trail Length to 0 or its minimum value, which effectively hides the trail. Alternatively, you can disable the extension in the Chrome menu with a single click. **Is it compatible with other cursor extensions?** Cursor Rainbow Trail is designed to be highly compatible. While it may overlap with other cursor-changing extensions, it generally works alongside them without issues. However, for the best visual clarity, we recommend using it as your primary cursor effect. ## Join Our Community We are constantly working to improve Cursor Rainbow Trail and add new features based on user feedback.
