A popular effect that you can add to your applications is a mouse trail. In case you are not familiar with them, mouse trails are nothing more than some content that follows your mouse around the screen. What makes them a little different from a standard "follow mouse" effect is that they often trail your mouse movement by a few milliseconds.
