Make pointer feedback easier to see

Use a larger cursor, enable the compositor's locate-pointer action, and show a visual flash when a client requests the audible bell.

Lua

gnoblin.configure {
    cursor = {
        theme = "default",
        size = 32,
    },
    compositor = {
        locate_pointer = true,
        audible_bell = false,
        visual_bell = true,
        visual_bell_type = "frame-flash",
    },
}

The example uses your system's default cursor theme. Install other themes before selecting them. The options in this example have these defaults and effects:

Setting	Accepted values and default	Effect
`cursor.size`	Integer `1`–`256`; default `24`	Cursor size in logical pixels.
`compositor.locate_pointer`	Boolean; default `false`	Enables the compositor's pointer-location gesture.
`compositor.audible_bell`	Boolean; default `true`	Plays a sound when a client requests the audible bell.
`compositor.visual_bell`	Boolean; default `false`	Shows a visual response to a client bell request.
`compositor.visual_bell_type`	`"fullscreen-flash"` or `"frame-flash"`; default `"fullscreen-flash"`	Flashes the whole display or the focused frame.

The pointer-location gesture does not enlarge or constantly animate the pointer. See the cursor reference and compositor reference for details.

The visual bell only responds to client bell requests. It does not replace application notifications or guarantee that every application sends a bell. Reload the config, then test the pointer-location gesture configured by your session and a client that supports the bell. See cursor setup and the compositor reference.
