Windows 10: Custom Cursors

Thanks for creating the thread here too Horace*Thumbs

 

Thanks guys.
I'll post some more. Still need some cleaning up to do with the moved pictures...

 

DMZ Neon Blue
dmz-neon-blue.zip

Technically on the spot: contains 32x32, 48x48 and 64x64 size pointer and looks nice up and beyond 192 dpi in display settings!

From where I got the idea:
Once, I've seen a blue glowing cursor in an Android x86 VM:




That looked familiar with the Black DMZ Pointer from Ubuntu...
So I tried to reproduce the effect to an entire cursor scheme. I had to include the MIT license from DMZ source (a small text file).




It looks just like what I've seen:

-black background:




-white background:

 

DMZ Neon Orange
dmz-neon-orange.zip

Previously released DMZ Neon Blue has a follow-up.

First I had in mind: Lit Charcoal, Tangerine... but I just go with Orange, for the logic.



Same specs as the Blue version
32x32, 48x48, 64x64

Previews on black and white backgrounds:









Usage:
Extract the zip.
Installer (inf) included. Right click -> install.

 

DMZ Neon Yellow-Red
...or simply Red.
dmz-neon-yellow-red.zip

New to the series is a visible variation.
Same specs as the DMZ Neon predecessors: 32; 48 & 64-sized.
Note: all cursors in this theme are static.

 

And I couldn't resist an animated preview:





*Wink

 

Oh! Now where are my sunglasses............LOL

 

I read your title: Don't Blink!
*Cool

 

Don't blink. Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. They are FAST! Faster than you can imagine. Don't turn your back. Don't look away. And don't blink. Good luck.

 

Aero8-Yellow (based on Windows Default system scheme)



Installer files included

aero8-yellow-xl.zip (extra large)
aero8-yellow-l.zip (large)
aero8-yellow.zip (normal)

Preview:




Alternate animations: dotted spinner (working & busy states require manual install)


aero8-yellow-dotted-spinner-xl.zip


aero8-yellow-dotted-spinner-l.zip


aero8-yellow-dotted-spinner.zip

 

White dotted spinners for the Default Windows cursors (working and busy)
dotted-spinner-white.zip

Previews:













*jagged edges are due to GIF image compression, the actual cursors are smoother.

How to install:
Extract/place the cursor files from zip in the cursor folder (usually C:\Windows\Cursors) then got to mouse pointer settings and browse for the installed files after selecting the working and busy states. Apply or even save the new scheme under a new name, to easily switch back between different cursors via the drop-down theme list:

 

There's still some work moving the cursors already made.
But I'm planning a couple of new releases.
No teasers yet. *Smile

 

Not really "custom" cursors, but I've saved these from "Good Ole Days" of XP.... Like the animated horse, dinosaur, barber pole, etc. Yours if you wish! Cursors.zip
