Permission to release a derivative work based on your script #89

Description

@Ethanout

Hi,

I’ve been using your obs-zoom-to-mouse script and really liked the foundation you built. Over the last few days, I’ve ended up refactoring and adding a bunch of features I needed for my own workflow.

Specifically, I’ve added:

  • A smooth, hardware-accelerated cursor icon with click/drag animations.
  • More granular auto-zoom logic (adjustable timeouts, distance thresholds, and immediate/delayed detection).
  • New strategies for center-point tracking (click vs. long-press).
  • Expansion of many existing ranges (offsets, speeds) and a cleaner settings UI.

I’m thinking about hosting this as a standalone project rather than submitting a PR, mainly for two reasons:

  1. I’ve focused entirely on Windows for this version and the UI/code is still heavily in Chinese. I’m honestly not at a level where I can polish this for a proper multi-platform release anytime soon, but since quite a few people are already asking for it, I’d like to get it out there for them first.
  2. My version is geared more toward "fancy" screen recordings for content creators, so it has a lot more animation and visual flair. It might feel a bit bloated or out of place compared to the cleaner, more focused vibe of your original project.

I’d like to release it under the Apache-2.0 license. Since I noticed there isn't a LICENSE file in this repo, I wanted to double-check and get your okay before I put it up on GitHub.

I’ll make sure to include a clear attribution in the README, linking back here and giving you credit for the original implementation.

Let me know if you're cool with that!
