Coloured, Moving and large cursors for all sorts of users. Windows.
Windows XP, 7, 8, 10 all supported.
You have a couple of options.
- The easy way.
Download the installer here and run it. It simply places all the cursors at C:\Windows\Cursors\Ace Cursors - you then open up your mouse control panel and select a new pointer. We have tried to make this a bit easier by creating a shortcut to this in your Start Menu/Ace Centre/Ace Cursors folder. NB: If you are a sysadmin and want a msi we have a wrapped msi installer here
- The manual way.
Download a zip of this directory and manually copy and paste the entire Ace Cursors directory to C:\Windows\Cursors\Ace Cursors
You may also want to pop the Mouse Pointers Properties.lnk somewhere sensible like the desktop. Its a quick link to the mouse pointers properties control panel. If you want you can make this yourself:
- Right click on a empty area on desktop, and click on New and Shortcut.
- Paste the following in:
%SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL main.cpl,,1
Navigate to: %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Ace centre\Ace cursors
or
%AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Ace centre\Ace cursors and double click on the UninstallAceCursors.exe
If you have installed it using the manual method - just remove anything found in C:\Windows\Cursors\Ace Cursors
You will need NSIS - just download this repo and use the installer file Installer.nsi
The simple answer is to use RealWorld Cursor Editor. .cur files are basically .ico files with a different extension. So you can edit them in anything that edits ico files (e.g. CursorWorkshop and Inkscape.)
