Cursor Shake

When I initially installed El Capitan, I had the pleasure of messing about for a moment or two with the cursor-shake-to-enlarge feature in Setup Assistant, but once logged in it stopped working, and since that I can't seem to get it to work. Any ideas? Do I have to enable it somewhere else or is this a bug of some sort?


Many thanks

For me it didn't work at all until the first reboot. Since then it's been solid.

I had the same issue but after I logged out of my account and then back in it sytarted working.


Has anyone figuredd out a way to disable it? I can just see this feature annoying more than anything else.

Yeah same. Love the feature, was strange that it stopped working until reboot though. All working now too!

Spent the past few hours going through plist files with no luck. Theres got to be something somewhere.

you can turn this feature off by going to System Preferences > Accessibility > Display and unticking the box

Did you notice that all of the other posts here were from three to four months ago? They were working with brand-new beta software, and that checkbox wasn't there yet. It was only added near the very end of the beta program.

Do you have "MagicPrefs" running on your Mac ? I have it running on my iMac and if it's enabled, the Shake Mouse feature does not work...

You have to disable "MagicPrefs" to get it work !


Hope this helps !
