Description Download from: Stash or Google Drive

A sleek, modern static cursor design with glowing edges and consistent, clear shape. Perfectly complements Windows XP Silver theme or even Vista-like schemes.
I made these cursors years ago with a trial version of MicroAngelo, because I was utterly fed up with the standard Windows cursors. Despite not being a great pixel artist, I kept refining the designs and ended up with what you see today. I have tried many, many cursor sets since, but I still love and use this set. And now, I give you the opportunity to try them too!

Quick Key:
  • White: normal
  • Green: working in background
  • Red: busy (hourglass)
  • Blue: hyperlink
  • Pink: help
Specs:
  • All the cursors are in Windows .cur format and all the cursor types required by Windows are here.
  • Semitransparent cursors are not supported on Windows versions before XP.

If one wants to use these for Windows 7 make sure to uncheck the box "allow themes to change mouse pointers" so when you change your background the pointer won't revert back to default~

I don't know what format Ubuntu requires for cursors. If you know the answer, let me know and I might port them over.

you probably get this a lot, but these cursors are awesome, i love the whole glowy-semi-transparent-ish effect ....now I'm just not making any sense, anyways thanks for making and sharing them

BoffinBrain In reply to Tifa53 [2010-02-03 23:12:03 +0000 UTC]

Not as often as you think, actually, but thanks! I must make a new version some time, now that Vista and Win 7 allow transparent, animated cursors. In XP, it was either one or the other.

Wow, these are so good! Really smooth... just doesn't look that great when you forget to turn the shadows off...
Still, I really like them, and i've been using them for about 10 minutes

BoffinBrain In reply to Chief-Slaya [2009-07-19 23:59:41 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad so many people like these. They've gone unseen for years, but someone must have featured them recently or something like that.

From all the testing I've done, pointer shadows never show for cursors that have semitransparency on XP. It might be different if you're using Vista.

Chief-Slaya In reply to BoffinBrain [2009-07-20 00:34:09 +0000 UTC]

yeah im using vista, and the shadows show... they look bad though, so i turned them off ^^
ZThey're really sleek, and they work well, unlike oddly-shaped cursors or ones that are just a picture with a little arrow in the corner.
btw, i found these by going into the cursors category and looking through the all-time favourites... it was on page 2 i think

SUPERB job!

It's one of those things that you want to have with you all the time, because when it's not there you realise how ugly the default cursors are. It's much the same for the rest of the styles and scripts I write for dA - you get used to them!

Boffin i have seen the light.

Thanks so much for the wicked cursors.

Goodbye 1972 and welcome to a more pleasing on the eye 2009.

Took me a while to realise i could get rid of pointing fingers.

Cheers,

Reg.

I thought mice were only invented in the eighties. But yes, I'm happy to hear you are able to break off from the norm and enjoy something a little richer!
