## Description

This extension allows you to change the appearance of your cursor not only by replacing the cursor itself with a different one, but also by adding various visual effects.

You can easily change the cursor skin itself by choosing from the extension's extensive library, which includes both static images and a variety of animated cursors. Furthermore, this extension allows you to upload any cursor as a file in any format supported by the extension.

Whichever cursor you choose, you can add effects to any of them. The effects themselves are very diverse, for example, various trails left by the cursor's movement; flame effects; highlighting around the cursor with various settings; and much more.

This extension is available free of charge, provided that it is periodically activated using a key, which you can always get (free of charge) on our website.
