Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
Is it possible to do a revert changes timer? would probably need an apply button as well.
Scenario when this would be used?
I changed my Find my Mouse background color to opaque and possibly my duration to a long time and my radius small. It ended up covering my entire screen and I could barely revert the changes while looking through the small radius(the only visible part of the screen). I was panicking lol. This could also be a problem for the crosshairs if someone does something like turn the thickness really high and makes it opaque.

Research direction
Start by locating the Find My Mouse settings entry point and reviewing how background color, duration, radius, and crosshair thickness are applied. Define the requested timer and Apply behavior, then verify that users can safely revert settings after creating an unusable overlay.
