## Description

Pointing at something on screen during a recording shouldn't require a separate app. Halo adds a glowing ring and optional trail to your cursor — visible, elegant, and zero-distraction when you don't need it.

One shortcut turns it on. One shortcut turns it off.

🎯 WHAT IT DOES

→ Glowing ring — a crisp circle that follows your cursor precisely, with a customizable color and soft glow
→ Comet trail — a fading streak of dots behind the cursor that shows movement direction and speed
→ Toolbar badge — a purple "ON" indicator so you always know presenter mode is active

⚙️ CUSTOMIZATION

• 7 preset colors + custom color picker
• Ring size: S / M / L / XL (40–100 px diameter)
• Glow intensity: Off / Soft / Medium / Strong
• Border thickness: Thin / Normal / Thick
• Trail length: Short / Medium / Long
• Hide system cursor option — ring only, no arrow

GETTING STARTED
<ol><li>Install Halo</li><li>Press Alt+Shift+H to toggle presenter mode on</li><li>Move your mouse — the ring appears instantly</li><li>Press Alt+Shift+H again to turn it off</li></ol>
You can also toggle from the toolbar popup, and change all settings there with a live preview.
