It’s a vanilla-JS engine (no React, Vue, or jQuery — pure ES6 + Canvas/WebGL) wrapped in a proper WordPress plugin with a modern, mobile-friendly admin experience. **Features:** * Toggle switches and sliders for every setting — modern, touch-friendly admin UI * Rainbow mode, or a single custom solid color via native color picker * Full tuning controls: curl, splat radius/force, dissipation rates, pressure iterations, color update speed * Performance controls: simulation/dye resolution, disable on mobile, disable in wp-admin * Live Preview panel — test unsaved settings directly inside wp-admin before applying them * Environment & Performance Matrix: live Plugin/WP/PHP versions plus an on-demand render benchmark * One-click JSON backup and validated JSON import/restore * Reset to Defaults with confirmation * Zero external frameworks; strict `scwp_` / `SCWP_` prefixing for zero plugin/ theme conflicts ### Support For support, contact hardik@host5.in. ## Screenshots [[ [[ [[ [[ [[ [[ ## Installation 1. Upload the `host5-fluid-splash-cursor` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or upload the zip directly via Plugins Add New Upload Plugin. 2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” menu in WordPress. 3. Go to **Settings Splash Cursor** to enable, tune, and preview the effect. Upgrading from v1 (“Splash Cursor for WP”)? Deactivate and delete the old plugin first (this is a renamed main file/slug), then install v2 fresh. From v2.0.0 onward, future updates can be uploaded directly over this folder without losing your settings. ## FAQ ### The effect feels heavy on my site Lower “Simulation Resolution” and “Dye Resolution” under the Performance tab, and enable “Disable on Mobile”. Use the built-in benchmark on the dashboard to gauge render performance first. ### Will updating the plugin reset my settings? No. Activation preserves any existing `scwp_settings` and only merges in newly introduced default keys. Settings are only ever fully removed if you explicitly click “Delete” on the Plugins page. ### Can I back up my configuration before making changes? Yes — use “Download Backup” on the Backup & Restore tab any time. To restore, paste the JSON into the Import box; it’s validated (types, ranges, hex colors) before being applied to the form. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Host5 Fluid Splash Cursor” is open source software.
