Good afternoon pinkfloooooyd,

I understand you are seeing a rainbow swirl when you move your cursor from a screensaver. Do you mean when you wake your computer from sleep? Here are a few troubleshooting steps to address this issue. I've highlighted some key information here for you. Click on the link for complete details.

If your Mac doesn‘t sleep or wake when expected

Reset the SMC.

Reset NVRAM.

Disconnect external devices other than your Apple keyboard, mouse, and display. If that resolves the issue, gradually reconnect your devices, testing each time, until you find the device that is interfering with sleep. Then check the documentation that came with the device, or contact the device manufacturer.

Start up in Safe Mode to see if the issue is related to non-Apple startup items, login items, or kernel extensions.

Try to isolate the issue by using another user account.

If you still see the issue, contact Apple Support.

Take care.
