Could you build this?
Partial Customizing the macOS system cursor with arbitrary animations, particle click effects, and trails across all system apps requires tapping into undocumented or low-level CoreGraphics / SkyLight / Accessibility private APIs and running high-performance background overlays.
What it would actually take: Requires a native Swift/Objective-C application leveraging macOS Accessibility APIs (AXUIElement) or private SkyLight/CGS cursor APIs, alongside transparent, click-through `NSWindow` overlays synchronized to `CGEventTap` mouse hooks. The hard part is ensuring smooth 120Hz rendering of cursor trails/effects without introducing system mouse lag, crashing restricted sandboxed environments, or failing Apple's strict accessibility/security sandboxing. Requires deep knowledge of macOS internals and low-level graphics subsystems.
