Follow Mouse 2.1
This simple fun tool to show a colored tail on the mouse cursor. Just try it.
It is an example project on what you can do with Realbasic and the MBS Plugins on using Quartz compositing with overlay windows.
Requires Mac OS X 10.4 and performes better if you have Quartz Extreme.
You can choose the tail color, the layer where it's drawn, the update frequency in updates per second, the segment counts and whether the tail automatically goes away.
This application is freeware and provided as is.
