(SHARE) Shake to Magnify Cursor, Weather Widget, other utilities

Hello,

I'm new to this community but I've been a long time XFCE user. Before I post my support threads asking for help, I wanted to share a few tools that I use every day which I made for XFCE.

First is a shake to magnify cursor utility, which is exactly what you might imagine or hope it to be. You can just execute the cursor_scaler program and it should work immediately for your current themed left pointer.

The second is my weather widget. I use an XFCE panel with genmon that to display a 3 day weather forecast. There's a nice screen shot on the github page.

Finally, I also use this script to do notification sounds from xfce-notifyd.

Thanks for reading.
