A mouse pointer that ripples green when clicked?

The mouse when clicking a link or an icon rippled green which i find just awesome :)

...so i'm trying to see if i can get it on my PC(Vistax86) if free, or if buggy, or, diff OS altogether, or if it is too technical in installing it & is out-of-reach for the not so l337 savvy like me.

Scoured the internetz plus forums on the topic & they keep giving these tutorials on default windows mouse options... if not, some gaudy custom smiley pointers bloatware-ugh.

I know... what a waste of processing power for such a superficial thing... i like it though. *pouts*

Saw it a week ago on a youtube vid tutorial on something that i can't recall (lesson: find something you fancy-->bookmark it right away)

My memory is poor but i'll fill in as much as i can to help picture some clues for you:

blues CLUEs:

1) It was definitely not a java or web browser effect with the mouse that you see these days...

2) Not sure what OS was being used so that might help insy-bit....(only familiar with Windows)

3) far fetched, but vid tutorial i think was either on how to invert colors in photoshop images/ or how to *something* on bluetooth software...but might not be both though coz i tried the former & can't remember what software i was checking out (i'll update this Question if it hits me later on)

4)Can't remember what the cursor looked like but the desktop background was black, so likely it was not a dark coloured mouse cursor. The ripples where 3" diameter, not super realistic like water or anything but rings 4-5 animated green rings moving away from the mouse pointer as the user clicked an icon or link.

thats all...thanks for checking out my question. :)
