A lightweight World of Warcraft addon that draws a glowing ring around your mouse cursor, with optional cast bar visualization.
Originally built as an accessibility aid — the ring makes it much easier to keep track of your cursor during busy combat encounters.
- Persistent cursor ring — a glowing ring follows your cursor at all times
- Cast animations — the ring animates while you cast or channel:
- Sweep — ring drains clockwise (or counter-clockwise) as the cast progresses, then snaps back full on completion
- Shrink — ring collapses inward as the cast progresses
- Expand — ring grows outward as the cast progresses
- Pulse — ring pulses, faster as the cast nears completion
- None — ring stays constant (pure cursor aid, no cast indication)
- Separate modes for casts and channels
- Optional completion flash — brief flash when a cast finishes
- Optional orbiting sparkle dot
- Optional spell name label
- Full options panel — Interface > AddOns > Cast Cursors, or
/cc - Profile support — per-character and per-spec configurations
Install via the CurseForge app or manually drop the CastCursors folder into:
World of Warcraft/_retail_/Interface/AddOns/
Type /cc or /castcursors to open the options panel, or navigate to Interface > AddOns > Cast Cursors.
Works in Retail WoW (Midnight / 12.x), Classic, Burning Crusade Classic, Wrath Classic, Cata Classic, and MoP Classic.
Uses only UnitCastingInfo("player") and UnitChannelInfo("player") for cast data — both are explicitly permitted by Blizzard's addon API restrictions. The addon is purely cosmetic and will never be affected by combat API changes.
Built with Ace3 libraries.
