Custom Cursors

@i486

That is fine. You can keep the names as they are for diagonal resize cursors. No problem. I applied the cursors but using the Additional Mouse Settings in Windows 10s App menu.

@Hopachi

Thank you so much for reaching back to me. I will explain everything. Please read on:

Yes, you can use the same template as the Rainbow Deluxe, but simply keep the borders black. To make this Riddler Premium Large cursor set more unique, please make the black border lines slightly thinner. As for the question marks, please make sure they are as smooth as possible.

Depending on the shape of the cursors, you will need to adjust the size of the question marks, so that they fit inside. Long thin cursor roles like double headed arrows are going to need three smaller question marks inside, like on the image you showed me above.

Please make sure that all the question marks a perfectly in line with each other just like I have demonstrated from the image below:



It is important that the question marks inside the cursors are perfectly aligned so that the cursors looks good with the theme. You can animated the background by using a few shades of green which are similar to the green gradient I have used for the sample image above. Please animate all the cursor roles and do not forget to add all the cursor roles like the "Universal" mouse pointer, Location Select and Person Select.

Please do not bother on including install.inf files in my requested cursor sets. Only add install.inf files if they are requested by other users.

Good luck with this cursor set, and I hope you succeed.

Windows 10 (from 1903 onwards) uses generated CUR files.
The new interface has a built-in cursor-generator, that's a nice thing. The SVG flies are used to generate statical CUR files.
Just set one up, with the colour you like, and it gets saved in:

Code:

%localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Cursors

From there you can copy / backup them or even use on an older Windows version...

There is at the moment of writing no animation supported, hence no way to generate ANI files.
This would complicate things but would probably be achievable in the future.
Edge-inversion works in relation to the base colour you choose: black or white edge for light or dark base colour.

The other three you mention use the built-in system black / white / inverted CUR files for the regular size. But if you increase the pointer size then the SVG gets used and generated CUR gets saved at mentioned location.

Oh right, I forgot the hotspots completely, which would of course be missing in image files
I wonder how Windows places the hotspots during the conversion, does automatically find the uppermost left pixel in the (right-handed) image file that has colour information and place the hotspot there?

I'll check later, but it seemed that when you choose a dark custom colour the edges are never pure white, but light grey.

Update: The edges are indeed white, but very messy.

Hey, I just modified the install.inf on Black-Green Binary to work with Black and White Binary Enhanced.

@Hopachi,
May I can use your cursor "Aero 7 Remastered" to my SevenTheme?
Don't worry,
SevenTheme will be uploaded here.

Yes, go ahead.
Nice to see that's still used.

Thanks!
Some components of my own themes is from TenForums, so I appreciate it.

I just posted the SevenTheme here:

I'm now finished doing the SevenTheme. It looks like @Cesare, you're waiting for you're Riddler Premium Large to make, huh?
