Follow-Pointer & Shortcuts

Understanding the Floating Orb Behavior

The Evelant extension features a unique floating orb that enhances your browsing experience by providing quick access to its functionalities. Depending on your preferences, this orb can either follow your mouse pointer or remain fixed in a designated location on your screen. This flexibility allows users to customize their interaction with the extension, making it more efficient based on their browsing habits.

Adjusting the Floating Orb Settings

To modify the behavior of the floating orb, follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. Open the Settings Menu: Click on the Evelant icon in your browser toolbar.
2. Navigate to Appearance Settings: Select the Settings option from the dropdown menu, then click on Appearance.
3. Choose Orb Behavior: In the Appearance settings, look for the option labeled Floating Orb Behavior.
   • Follow Pointer: If you want the orb to track your mouse movements, select the option that enables follow-pointer mode.
   • Fixed Position: To keep the orb in a static location, choose the fixed position option and specify where you’d like it to be placed on your screen (top-right, bottom-left, etc.).
4. Save Changes: After making your selection, ensure to click the Save button at the bottom of the settings menu to apply your changes.
