"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"

It has replaced idly making selection squares on the desktop.

I hope it’s never changed, absolutely fabulous

My kids love making the cursor fill the screen.

Feature moment
DarkSirrush@lemmy.ca · 22 pts · 1y
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.

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.

Note: Only on Plasma 6.0 (edit: and up)
princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 7 pts · 1y
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.
caseyweederman@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 1y
Correct. 6.0 is when it was introduced.
I keep trying it on 5 and then remembering and being sad.
princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 1y
Ah sorry, I thought you meant that it was a bug introduced in 6.0 that was fixed or something
caseyweederman@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 1y
No worries. Updated for clarity.

It’s not big enough until the window manager crashes

I do this for fun while waiting for things to load
dditty@lemm.ee · 11 pts · 1y
Ha I also noticed this in the last week and assumed it was a feature, not a bug
asudox@discuss.tchncs.de · 9 pts · 1y
No, I don't think it is an easter egg. Probably just a missing check in code that needed to be done.

It's by design as mentioned in this bug report.
There is a hidden config to cap the over magnification on shake

By default on recent KDE but search shake mouse in desktop settings

This feature used to be in KDE 5 as well though, but with a size cap. I suspect the removal of the size cap is intentional rather than a bug.

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 😎

That's my wife's default cursor size

haha nah its teal actually

Feels like a feature. The first time I tested this feature it was first: not dynamically textured, meaning that a small 32x32 pixel imagine got 256x256 or smth. And the size was limited.
Now its actually rendered like a vector graphics and funnily enough, its shaking never stops increasing the size. I love when fun is allowed on your desktop

Can confirm!

Thank you for doing the science for us. That was entertaining
Grass@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 1y
thanks. I was trying to find this out but I'd constantly slip up and let it shrink.

You just have to turn it off. It's an accessibility feature if you don't want it:

Nope, thats a different topic.
