FaeCursor adds interactive cursor, keyboard, and screen effects to your WordPress website, designed for engaging visual feedback without compromising performance.<\/p>\n\n

Create smooth trails, sparkles, particles, and subtle motion effects that enhance user interaction while keeping your site lightweight and responsive.<\/p>\n\n

Unlike effect packs that load everything globally, FaeCursor uses a structured module system so you can enable only what you need.<\/p>\n\n

Modular Architecture<\/h3>\n\n

FaeCursor is built as a controlled interaction system, not a collection of random animations.<\/p>\n\n

Cursor Effects<\/h4>\n\n

Add refined visual feedback that follows pointer movement. Includes multiple presets with adjustable size, speed, and color controls.<\/p>\n\n

Keyboard Effects<\/h4>\n\n

Display subtle interaction feedback during typing. Ideal for forms, comment sections, and interactive experiences.<\/p>\n\n

Screen Effects<\/h4>\n\n

Optional screen-based visual layers such as particle systems and motion backgrounds that enhance atmosphere without interfering with usability.<\/p>\n\n

Each module can be enabled or disabled independently.<\/p>\n\n

Key Features<\/h3>\n\n

\n\u2022 Conditional asset loading (disabled modules do not load scripts)
\n\u2022 Real-time live preview in the admin dashboard
\n\u2022 Adjustable performance and animation controls
