I remember that in Windows one had the capability to make one's cursor have a trail, and there was a slider to indicate how long this trail would be. I believe that there was also something similar in the unity-tweak-tool, though I can't be absolutely certain of it.

Anyway, I am running Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with GNOME 3.18, I can't find anything to achieve my objective of giving my cursor a trail in the gnome-control-center, nor in the gnome-tweak-tool, so I was wondering how exactly I am going to manage to do it? I've done a search through dconf-editor, but I can't find anything, though that does not necessarily mean that it's not there because there are a lot of settings there...

    @Zacharee1 the "duplicate" is for Compiz. OP uses GNOME. – A.B. Jan 30 '16 at 19:29
  • @A.B. I didn't think that mattered. I don't really know the difference. – TheWanderer Jan 30 '16 at 19:32
  • @Zacharee1: Well, for starters I don't have Compiz installed... –  Jan 30 '16 at 22:12

  • if it existed it should be in org.gnome.desktop.a11y schema. It seems that it is one of the thing deemed not useful... ;-| – Rmano Feb 02 '16 at 18:56

    @Rmano The current celebratory site's them (with the mouse trails) made me revisit the search for the feature. The feature is very useful. I hope someone with programming experience might start to realize the facility. I spend a lot of productive time looking for the mouse. Every body's eyes loose efficiency with age. The young programmers probably see it as an unneeded eye-candy, not as an accessibility tool... whereas the old fogies that would benefit don't think to ask for the crutch, and don't realize what they are missing. If I find one I'll bring it back here. – L. D. James Apr 01 '19 at 22:39
