# 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](./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.
