There is this great addon for WoW that allows you to add FX to the cursor and they create a trail effect that allows you to easily find the cursor, this trail and effect can come in a variety of FXs, mostly it looks like from the game itself.
The addon is just for example purposes, but
Can the same thing be done for cursors in Windows 10? If so how? To clarify, I want a custom effect like in the addon, not just a simple trail.

7I came here looking for exact same thing ! As far as i know what CursorTrail addon does is it slaps a 3D FX model on top of a cursor and makes it follow same coordinates, but it's not as easily done in Windows because there is no 3D engine to run it in.
