---- Mouse finder for awful
---
--- Find the mouse pointer on the screen.
--- Mouse finder highlights the mouse cursor on the screen
--- To enable this feature, a `awful.mouse.finder` object needs to be bound to a
--- key:
---
---     mymousefinder = awful.mouse.finder()
---
--- Then bind the `find` function a key binding.
---
--- Some configuration variable can be set in the theme:
---
--- The mouse_finder display duration
---
---     theme.mouse_finder_timeout = 3
---
--- The animation speed
---
---     theme.mouse_finder_animate_timeout = 0.05
---
--- The mouse_finder radius
---
---     theme.mouse_finder_radius = 20
---
--- The growth factor
---
---     theme.mouse_finder_factor = 2
---
--- The mouse_finder color
---
---     theme.mouse_finder_color = "#ff0000"
