- Installer les exigences de construction - sudo apt-get install build-essential libx11-dev libcairo2-dev
 
- Construit le - gcc `pkg-config --cflags x11 cairo` locate-pointer.c -o locate-pointer `pkg-config --libs x11 cairo` -lm
 
- Copiez-le dans le système - bin/
 - sudo cp locate-pointer /usr/local/bin/
 
- Créez un raccourci pour le lancer 
- Activer le composite - Lubuntu- 
- Installer un gestionnaire composite - sudo apt-get install xcompmgr
 
- Ajoutez-y une ligne - ~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart
 
 - Xubuntu- 
- Exécuter xfwm4-tweaks-settings→ Compositeur → Cochez Activer la composition d'affichage
 
Remarques
- Tu vas avoir un fond noir sans composite. Si vous ne parvenez pas à le faire fonctionner, essayez un autre gestionnaire de composites comme: compton,cairo-compmgr.

 * Some windows manager missing option to locate mouse pointer as accessibity feature.
 * To get transparent window need to activate `composite` service for wm.
 * Coded in c / xlib so it can work in most wm's.
