Ghostty Shaders

This is a collection of Ghostty shaders which I adapted for my personal use.

Adaptive Cursor Trail Blaze

File: ./adaptive-cursor-trail-blaze.glsl

A Ghostty shader that creates a cursor trail effect with adaptive intensity based on movement distance.

Note

based on: https://github.com/hackr-sh/ghostty-shaders/blob/3d7e56a3c46b2b6ba552ee338e35dc52b33042fa/cursor_blaze.glsl

Key Differences from Original

• Distance-based intensity scaling: Trail effect adapts to cursor movement distance - subtle trails for small movements (1-2 characters), full effect for larger movements
• Adaptive thresholds: Uses MIN_DISTANCE (0.02) and MAX_DISTANCE (0.08) to scale trail intensity from 20% to 100%
• Color scheme: Uses Catppuccin Frappe Blue instead of Peach for the trail color

This prevents overwhelming visual effects during normal typing while maintaining the full blaze effect for longer cursor movements.
