MHalo

Super simple mouse halo application to find your cursor on large monitors implementing the layer-shell protocol.

MHalo uses a layer-shell overlay to darken the screen and show a bright circle around the mouse cursor.

After you have found your cursor, any mouse click will close mhalo.

Limitations

MHalo may require you to move your cursor to be informed of its position.
