What about MouseLocator? - Version: 1.1, 6/29/2008 08:16PM PST

I've been using Mouse Locator for years. All you need to do is let your mouse sit for a bit and Mouse Locator quietly highlights it and leaves it highlighted until after you move it. No icon in the dock. No hotkeys. No fuss, no bother. Works every time. Your choice of pointer highlighting thingees, too. I have used it happily for years, through many OSX upgrades.

Then there's Mousepose from BOINX.

This one seems like overkill. And it requires that you think about it too much. And why does it need an icon in the dock?

If you are going to offer something like this, shouldn't it be simpler, easier, less conspicuous and more elegant than what is already available?
