Beinsezii / NieR-Cursors

XCursor theme based on NieR Automata

NieR Style Cursors

Adwaita is a fallback for those not included. This can be changed in the "index.theme" file present in the built theme.

Installing

Download the release archive for your operating system

• Linux: Unpack the archive and put the folder in your user icons folder (usually ~/.icons/), then pick the cursor theme with whatever desktop/theme manager you use.
  • Arch Linux has a 3rd-party AUR package available to install the cursors system wide.
• Windows: Unzip the archive somewhere then right-click 'install.inf' and select 'install'. Right now, not every cursor has a windows equivalent, so when the dialogue box shows up complaining about "File not found", just close it and move on. Finally, go to control-panel -> mouse -> pointers and select "NieR Cursors" as your theme.

Building From Source

1. Have Python, Bash, XCursorgen, ImageMagick Blender 2.83+ installed
2. Clone the repository
3. Run build.sh file
4. A folder will appear called 'icons' that has the Linux and Windows themes inside.

State

• + Cursors for every type of mouse event I come across
• + Many sizes ensure crisp HiDPI
• - Windows is missing animations
• - No handwriting/pen cursor

F.A.Q.

Question

Answer

Why Blender? Inkscape or Illustrator would do this and that and everything better

Inkscape 0.9X doesn't support the cursor workflow of sharing assets and non-destructive modification. Inkscape 1.0 beta does but if I had $100 for every time it crashed or hanged I would be well on my way to taking that computer science class I can't afford. Blender with it's new Eevee render is a swiss army knife of artwork and has only crashed like 4 times so far overall so it's hundreds of times more stable. There's an unmaintained Inkscape branch in this git repo for the brave and curious.
