Pokemon Cursor needs your Input

Until 2021 my cursors projects were well funded by pling.com but since the pling-factor on the website has decreased and monthly payments are <500$, It is now dependent on community funding and sponsorships. If you want to help me to maintain Pokemon Cursor and my other open source projects actively, consider sponsoring my work on GitHub Sponsor or DM me on Twitter if your company would like to support my projects, I will gladly look into it and post your avatar in the project's README.

I appreciate all the wonderful people who patronize and sponsoring my work.

Build From Source

Notes

  • Pokemon build configuration and cursor hotspot settings are bundled in the build.toml file.
  • Check out the scripts section in package.json to see how we build the cursor theme, excluding the render scripts. They are useful for converting .svg files to .png files.
  • yarn is optional, For building XCursors and Windows cursors from .png files or resizing them you don't need that. If you want to develop/modify Pokemon's colors, and bitmaps, or generate a png file from a svg, Then you can use yarn because bitmapper is written in TypeScript.

Build prerequisites

  • Python version 3.7 or higher
  • clickgen>=2.1.2 (pip install clickgen)
  • yarn

Quick start

  1. Install build prerequisites on your system
  2. https://github.com/ful1e5/pokemon-cursor
  3. cd pokemon-cursor && yarn build
  4. See Installing Pokemon Cursor.

Building

Note Bitmaps are already generated in the bitmaps directory and managed by the maintainer (do not edit them directly).

First make sure you installed the build prerequisites. Now that you have the dependencies, you can try build individual themes from bitmaps and customize sizes, target platform, and etc. with the ctgen CLI (packed with clickgen).

yarn build aberration

Here are the default commands we used to build the Pokemon-cursor and packed them into yarn build:

ctgen build.toml

Afterwards, the themes can be found in the themes directory.

Customize Sizes

Note You can change the cursor size up to 200 because pngs are rendered with 200x200. If the cursor is resized by more than rendered png size, the final cursor will be blurred.

Customize Windows Cursor size

To build Windows cursor with size 16:

Warning Windows cursor supports only one size, if multiple sizes are given with -s the first size will be considered in build.

ctgen build.toml -s 16 -p windows -c 'An unofficial Pokemon cursors with size 16'

You can also customize output directory with -o option:

ctgen build.toml -s 16 -p windows -o 'out' -c 'An unofficial Pokemon cursors with size 16'
Customize XCursor size

To build XCursor with size 16:

ctgen build.toml -s 16 -p x11 -c 'An unofficial Pokemon cursors with size 16'

You can also assign multiple sizes to ctgen for XCursors build:

ctgen build.toml -s 16 24 32 -p x11 -c 'An unofficial Pokemon cursors with size 16'
