It would be cool if we could animate the little circle that appears when you click in a recording. I'm imagining something like this:

It seems like this could be added to the UI without having to totally rework it by adding two options to the Mouse Clicks user interface in Tasks:

Number of frames (or length of time) to display click graphic
Number of frames (or length of time) to delay the start of the click graphic

Then we could basically add 5 Mouse Click Tasks to achieve a very nice looking click animation as shown in the link above. Something like this:

2x2 yellow circle, opacity 100%, show for 1 frame, delay by 0 frames
4x4 yellow circle, opacity 80%, show for 1 frame, delay by 1 frame
6x6 yellow circle, opacity 60%, show for 1 frame, delay by 2 frames
8x8 yellow circle, opacity 40%, show for 1 frame, delay by 3 frames
10x10 yellow circle, opacity 20%, show for 1 frame, delay by 4 frames
