Cuando elijo un color se me sale automaticamente la pantalla , o sea esa pestaña que te abre para configurar el color y el tamaño, pero me aparece el circulo , intente con otros colores y cree uno propio pero no funciona , lo desinstale y lo volvi a instalar pero no da resultado. Una lastima , siempre quise tener un cursor que haga esto.

Yeah, the cursor keept disappearing in Gmail and I suddenly realized that the problem might have already had a solution. This is it. This is the solution I was looking for. Nice extension.
