Application Launch Feedback

enter image description here

KDE Help Center - Launch Feedback:

Sometimes it is reassuring to know that your computer didn't just ignore your command, and something is happening behind the scenes. In this module you can configure visible feedback to help you know if you really hit that icon or not.

The traditional way to indicate that your computer is busy is to modify the cursor, and you can turn this on by choosing a Busy Cursor. With this option enabled, your cursor will have an icon attached to it for a short time, when a new application is being launched. You can configure how long this icon is displayed beside your cursor with the Startup indication timeout: spinbox. The default is 5 seconds.

There are several variations of busy cursor available, including a Blinking Cursor, a Bouncing Cursor or a Passive Busy Cursor icon with no animation...

For KDE 6.0.5, it's:
System Settings -> Colors & Themes -> Cursors -> Configure Launch Feedback (it's at the top edge of the window)

When I type the command "# kcmshell5 launchfeedback" to the terminal to change my mouse animation, a white window was opened. And the "launch feedback" that I found by searching for the word "launch" in the start menu is the dark window. It says "system settings module" in the window titles. Someone has the phrase <2>. And the window that says <2> is the correct one. Somehow Static was chosen by itself. And I didn't change that. Somehow it happened by itself. Also, I don't know why there were 2 of these modules.

in plasma 6 you can access the GUI settings of LaunchFeedback (upper bar) via

kcmshell6 kcm_cursortheme

or use the cli to set the config keys with

kwriteconfig6 --file ~/.config/klaunchrc --group BusyCursorSettings --key Bouncing --type bool false
kwriteconfig6 --file ~/.config/klaunchrc --group FeedbackStyle --key BusyCursor --type bool false
