Hello! I'm going to teach you how to get whatever cursor you want.

First, figure out what you want as a cursor. I'm going to be changing mine to a Skyrim mouse.

So first you get a picture of whatever you want, as clean as possible:

Image ID: A screenshot of Skyrim, with a text box on it that reads "The save game is corrupt and cannot be loaded." Importantly, the mouse cursor is fully visible. End IDALT

Open your favorite art program and clean it up, then save as a png:

Image ID: The cursor from Skyrim, with a transparent background. End IDALT

Then go here and convert it to a .cur file. Make sure there's no gap between the corner of the arrow and the corner of the png.

Next you go to Control Panel:

Image ID: A screenshot of the Windows search screen, where a blue icon labeled "Control Panel" is highlighted. End IDALT

Select Mouse from the list:

Image ID: A Control Panel window with rows of icons in alphabetical order. The one for "Mouse" is highlighted. End IDALT

Then go to the Pointers tab and pick whichever mouse cursor you want to replace.

Image ID: The Mouse Properties window, on the second tab labeled "Pointers," the cursor for "Normal Select" highlighted. End IDALT

Click "Browse..." and find the .cur file you made earlier:

Image ID: The Mouse Properties window, on the second tab labeled "Pointers," the cursor for "Normal Select" highlighted. It now displays the Skyrim cursor. End IDALT

And voila! I now have a Skyrim cursor.

You may have to tinker with the size a bit to get the point to be accurate. If that happens, just resize your png and convert to .cur again.

Happy customization!

yo can you make a guide for custom animated cursors too because stuff like the processing cursor and spinning wheel are important to be animated

So, animated cursors are a little trickier because there isn't a reliable .cur to .ani (animated cursor) converter. You'll need to download an old program to get what you want.

But it IS possible! And just as customizable.

Part 1

Let's say I want my mouse to be Furret. First I need a gif with a transparent background.

Image ID: The Pokémon Furret, standing and bobbing its head, tail wagging. End IDALT

(If you want to make your own gif instead, you need a series of .png files, then to upload them on this website here and customize what kind of timing you want.)

This gif is definitely WAY too big to become a proper mouse. So we need to shrink it down. Upload or paste the link in here, then figure out what size you want.

Image ID: A screenshot in which the Furret gif is being resized. End IDALT

When you're ready to test it, go ahead and click "Resize Image!"

Image ID: A resized Furret, with the file size preview. It's at 56.84KiB. End IDALT

You'll want to pay attention to that file size there. At MAX, you never want to go over 60KiB.

Image ID: The Pokémon Furret, standing and bobbing its head, tail wagging. It is now small. End IDALT

So we have our tiny Furret. What now?

You see all those icons underneath the preview?

Image ID: An icon with two arrows diverting into different directions, labeled "split." End IDALT

You want to click this one.

Image ID: The tiny Furret gif with options to change how the gif is split, and a button that reads "Split into frames!" End IDALT

Then hit "Split into frames!" here. Don't worry about the "Split options" box, it won't really impact the end result for what we're going for here.

Image ID: Every frame of Furret, laid out side by side, with buttons to "edit animation" and "download frames as ZIP." End IDALT

Ta-da! You now have every frame of your gif ready. Click "Download frames as ZIP, then once you have the Zip file, extract the files into a normal folder.

Part 2

Image ID: A screenshot of a tag that reads as follows: "#how do i make it so that it doesn't reset to default windows cursor when i turn my laptop back on? (/gen)" End IDALT

This is on me for not including. My bad!

So in simple terms, the reason it reverts is because whenever your computer boots up, it tries to pull the cursor you made from its cursor directory. Failing to find one, it's like "well, guess I've gotta use something else" and grabs its default again.

To fix this, you just need to put your .cur or .ani into the file that has all the other cursors in it.

Open your file explorer and go to "This PC."

Image ID: A screenshot of the file explorer, with folders for "desktop," "documents," "downloads," "music," "pictures," and videos." Below it is a section labeled "Devices and drives (2)," which contains Windows SSD (C:) and CD Drive (D:). End IDALT

Pick out your local disk drive—it'll be the one with the memory bar displayed—and go into it.

Image ID: A screenshot of the file explorer, with a series of folders. Some of them are grayed out. End IDALT

Navigate down to the "Windows" file

Image ID: A screenshot of the file explorer, with a series of folders in alphabetical order. End IDALT

Find "Cursors"

Image ID: A screenshot of the file explorer, with a series of cursors in alphabetical order. End IDALT

And there you go! This is where you want to save your files to make them permanent.

If you plan on making a lot of cursors, I recommend pinning it to Quick Access with this button:

Image ID: A screenshot of the File Explorer labeled "Pin to Quick Access." End IDALT

This'll make it pin itself to the sidebar, so you can just drag things over to it instead of having to hunt it down each time.

Have fun!

fuck it, i never ever do those “reblog for X, this one really works!” posts, but this one doesn’t have any of that BS, this is just straight up wishing us good things; and then the comment doesn’t even say any of that either. Zero claims on this post, all positive vibes
