I really love this. Is there a way to make custom patterns on the paw.. and if there is, can you explain how or drop a tutorial :> pls and thank you
This is amazing, here are a few feature requests. Dual monitor support or 1 arm per monitor, Profiles for different images, a setting to auto hide the mouse menu on launch. The ability to change the image that is stamped on screen when you click. (currently the pink cat paw.)
VAC doesn't seem to care about the desktop paw application running at the same time as CS is running. So that's a bonus.
Problem-
I'm not sure why, but when I run it, it just won't let me see my taskbar (It's set so it slides down (out of screen) when the mouse isn't hovering over it).
Also, yea pls second monitor support pls ahvjeneg
Aside from all that, I like it. Is cute.
absolutely awesome. i also agree with second monitor support and wanna suggest changing the paw print stamp to our own image. thank u
any way i can use it on a second monitor? great program otherwise
Damn it, my cards keep getting declined,I really wanted this
:3
really awesome, i love the photo mode. i'd love if there were an option to disable the paw print on long press :)
What's the fix to this.
I love this!! the click sound is soo cute. a hide default cursor option would make it even better.
would be amazing if we had available alternative image options, other animals (like a dog's paw) included, a community to download images from, duel monitor set-ups (only shows on primary monitor), and not everyone knows (or has) the tools to be able to make their own creations how they'd like it. i'm struggling myself to find a suitable image that isn't watermarked. i could see myself using it if these were all sorted.
very fun and enjoyable kitty/10
THIS IS SOOO CUTEEE is there a way to hide the little mouse on the bottom? 0:
Does this works on Windows 7????
Is there a way to toggle the cursor on and off with like a hotkey or something? Would be quite coolio
LOVE THIS SO MUCH AGHH!! i'm probably just stupid but is it possible to hide your default cursor while using this? it just bothers me that my cursor is on top of it at all times D:
Adorable as all hell, one little thing, is it possible to make it overlay over multiple screens? I have two monitors and it only overlays on my primary. Love this obtrusive thing and it's silly noises, thanks!
pleasseeee make a linux version
i would love this too but it’s sooo unlikely, and it’d probably have to have different versions for wayland and x11 and so on :(
I downloaded it but i cant get it to work! i assume it has something to do with me doing something foolish but such a pity
ts peaks ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
i love this
I have an idea for a cursor that I don't want to try.
freaking awesome comment
I love this product but, theres a way to hide the cursor?
sincerely a wonderful product my one request is the ability to hide your actual pointer? like. just while the kitty cursor is enabled idk if thats something that's possible. but i also second the folks asking for border color changes and more configs
its the friiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiickin best. no arguments whatsoever.
very cute and entertaining, makes me feel like a silly kitten, 10/10
would love to be able to swap it on my 2nd screen thooo
love love love this soooo much !! honestly one of the best purchases i've ever made. i've only encountered one small issue, whenever my taskbar hides in a fullscreen window it won't pop up when i drag my mouse to the bottom. i've just made it so my taskbar wont hide in fullscreen, so it's not a big inconvenience or anything —but still, does anyone know a solution?
haha man just clicking the post comment button with this cursor on and the silly little noise it makes. I have never been this entertained by just clicking things before. incredible, i love this.
its glitched for me--anyone else?
Any plans to add or be able to customize paw shapes, paw pad colors, and yarn image? Or anyone knows how to do so? Very cute desktop toy btw :)
if itch declines my card again im crashing out
Weird edge case where if you swap primary mouse button in windows, the paw, and the mouse at the bottom don't switch
i wanna pay but apparently itch is declining lol
PLEASE PUT THIS ON STEAM IM BEGGING
i love this thing but please let us turn off the click sound, it's driving me mad
there is a way to turn it off actually! ^^ (for windows only i think)
go to the icons at the bottom right (wifi, sound, battery) and click it then go to the volume mixer at the right of the sound bar and click that too. you should see a paw icon as one of the apps and just drag that audio slider allll the way down. hope this helps!!
hi will there be a linux version in the future?
Hi thanks for this app it's amazing and I've been using it a lot! I know it's counter-intuitive but could we have an option to hide the paw when the cursor is hidden? I mainly wanna use this for gaming with it hehe... Thanks for reading!
Super fun ! Wish i had control on the opacity/black line width.
thank you for the option to hide the menu!!!
last request I swear: a silent mode in the system tray menu would be very appreciated, ty! <3
