Where to find it in the menuโ€‹

Settings โ†’ RGB trail

How to enableโ€‹

  1. Menu (Insert) โ†’ Settings โ†’ RGB trail.
  2. Turn on the header toggle of the page. The trail is off by default.
  3. In Use, choose where to show the trail: in the Dota menu, in game, or both (default โ€” everywhere).
  4. To show the trail only while the script menu (Insert) is open, turn on Only while menu is open.

What it doesโ€‹

  • The cursor leaves a trail of circles that shrink toward the tail and disappear after Max duration.
  • RGB animate (on by default): the trail color flows smoothly through the rainbow; Color change speed sets the speed. Turn the animation off to make the trail a single color: the Color row then appears (light blue by default).
  • Smoothing (on by default): the trail is drawn as a solid smooth line. Without smoothing it consists of separate dots.
  • "In menu" โ€” while you are in the Dota main menu, outside a match. "In game" โ€” during a match.
  • Only while menu is open (off by default): the trail is drawn only while the script menu is open. The Use limit still applies.

FAQโ€‹

I turned it on, but there is no trail. Check Use: if only "In menu" is selected, there will be no trail in a match, and vice versa. If Only while menu is open is on, the trail shows only while the script menu is open.

I can't choose the trail color. The Color row appears only when RGB animate is off.

How do I make the tail longer? Increase Max duration (up to 1.5 s).
