Dynamic mouse cursor

[C0Florent]

I recently had an idea of a mouse cursor that will have a rather big transparent part, which would turn more opaque the faster you move it, so that you can see it when it moves, but doesn't obscure what it's pointing at when it doesn't move.

I doubt I would ever get to actually doing it, but out of pure curiosity, how feasible would this be within Hyprland?
Worst (and potentially required) case would be embedding the entire cursor logic (including its full texture, and the anim logic) into a plugin, which would probably even prevent from switch cursor theme without unloading the plugin?

What do you think?

Thanks, no idea this existed, would be a great starting point indeed

I'd need to add onto it or start from scratch only taking inspiration from it, because my idea would have to be implemented on a per-cursor basis, there wouldn't be a general rule that could be applied to any cursor, since I'd like to have some parts of the cursor to always stay opaque, and some other to become transparent (for example, always keep the outline opaque and make the fill colour transparent when not moving)
