Add option to show clicks

[David Gomes]

Eidete should have an option to focus clicks with circles like in various other screen recording apps.

First of all, THANKS a lot indeed for your work! :-)

I think it would be VERY useful to have an option to add a circe around your mouse's cursor.
Most of all, because you can not add this effect later (e.g. with Pitivi or Kdenlive).
When you download from YouTube a video at low-resolution the circle around the mouse improves a lot your understanding.

Your video might look indeed more professional :-)
Naturally, this should be left as an option (in order not to be forced to use it).

On Windows, all important softwares to record your screen have these option (e.g. Camtasia, Camstudio etc) and I use it all the time.

On Linux, you can achieve this same effect with Compiz (http://wiki.compiz.org/Plugins/Showmouse).
At present, on Ubuntu 11.10, I use as a "workaround", for this effect, the software Keymon (http://code.google.com/p/key-mon/)

On the whole, as with Camstudio (http://camstudio.org/), the best might be:
1. Have an option to choose the size - colour of your circle for your cursor (by default, usually, it is yellow)
2. The same should apply to right-left button cursor (e.g. you press the left button and a red circle pops up).
At this regard, some softwares apply a ring (instead of a circle) for the left-right button (in order to allow you to show both at the same time).

With Camstudio, on Windows, the mouse cursor is NOT shown when you record your video (this in order not to distract you).
Naturally, it is shown when you play this video later (e.g. with Vlc player).

Having this extra-option would be magnificent for Eidete as well :-)

I added the options to show a little label showing either "Left", "Right" or "Middle" now and showing a circle of choosable color around the mouse.
