LM22.2 more like shake mouse to enlarge pointer size temporarily. not the Zoom Text in the Accessibility \ Visual \ Desktop Zoom using a Mouse wheel modifier. is it possible for you to make a Mouse Pointer Inverted where when the cursor is BLACK on a white background; and WHITE on a black background. the cursor is INVERTED Color from where it passes through. like the one in Windows System.

Have Cinnamon 22.1. I pressed install, now shaking the mouse does nothing. The configure button does nothing. I am a newbie and see nothing else to press .Please help.

Great! Something I wanted for a long time. Works fine, except when hovering over a browser (Vivaldi) window.
