How do I enable "mouse trails" in OSX? [duplicate]

I have a lot of screen real estate, and am constantly "losing" my mouse.

I'd like to have a simple way of easily finding the mouse that doesn't have to be reconfigured when I undock from my 28 inch monitor and rely on my retina display.

Windows has a feature that allows for "mouse trails" so I can easily find the pointer wherever it is. How can I get similar functionality on the Mac?

I looked under the "accessibility" tab but found nothing.


Solution 1:

There's no built-in option for that. You could try HotMouse for $0.99 in the App Store, or OmniDazzle (free) if you're really feeling crazy.

Solution 2:

Under Accessibility - Display there is an option to make it larger, and thus easier to find.

Otherwise, go with one of Tortilla's options.
