this is shameless vibe coded, tested it and looks to work.

Yeah but the UI is incoherent after that: the zoom activated with the laser pointer but doesn't do anything. Also it is put at the main menu on the icon itself which mixes the profiles with the modes, it is not logical from a user standpoint neither.

With the current UI you see that the UI changes mode and grey out the inactive part:

Maybe we can extend that instead of grafting an extra mode everywhere in the app?

What about that? Just adding the options to the center dot?

Also this is implemeted with a GPU shader so no overhead on CPU for both scintillating effect and trail.
