Extended KDE cursor, Highly inspired on KDE Breeze for Windows and Linux with HiDPi Support .
BreezeX Cursor is an independent project that supports more XCursor sizes and also offers compatibility with Windows. BreezeX provides more cursor options than the standard Breeze Cursor and allows for customization of colors and cursor sizes using powerful open-source tools.

Uninstallation:
Run the uninstall.bat script packed with the .zip archive
OR follow these steps:
- Go to Registry Editor by typing the same in the start search box.

HKEY_CURRENT_USERfolder and expandControl Panelfolder. - Go to
Cursorsfolder and click onSchemesfolder - all the available custom cursors that are installed will be listed here. - Right Click on the name of cursor file you want to uninstall; for eg.: BreezeX Cursors and
click
Delete. - Click 'yes' when prompted.
- Install build prerequisites on your system
git clone https://github.com/ful1e5/BreezeX_Cursorcd BreezeX_Cursoryarn installyarn generate- See Installing BreezeX Cursor.
Once you have the build prerequisites installed, You can personalize colors, customize sizes, change target platforms, and more. This process involves using external tools, as this repository only contains SVG files and configuration for these tools:
- cbmp: Used for customizing colors and generating PNG files.
- ctgen: Used for customizing sizes and building XCursor and Windows Cursors.
You can refer to the README of each tool for more information on their command-line options.
The process of creating custom cursor themes involves two main steps:
- Rendering SVG files to PNG files.
- Building cursor themes from PNG files.
cbmp provides three options for changing colors:
-bc: Base color, which replaces the#00FF00color in the SVG.-oc: Outlined color, which replaces the#0000FFcolor in the SVG.-wc(optional): Watch Background color, which replaces the#FF0000color in the SVG.
npx cbmp [...] -bc "<hex>" -oc "<hex>" -wc "<hex>"Alternatively, you can provide a JSON configuration file to render SVG files, which contains a sequence of cbmp commands:
npx cbmp render.jsonTo build Windows cursor with size 16:
ctgen configs/win_lg.build.toml -s 16 -p windows -d "bitmaps/BreezeX-Dark" -n "BreezeX-Dark" -c "Extended Breeze XCursors with size 16"You can also customize output directory with -o option:
ctgen configs/win_lg.build.toml -s 16 -p windows -d "bitmaps/BreezeX-Dark" -o "out" -n "BreezeX-Dark" -c "Extended Breeze Windows Cursors with size 16"To build XCursor with size 16:
ctgen configs/x.build.toml -s 16 -p x11 -d "bitmaps/BreezeX-Dark" -n "BreezeX-Dark" -c "Extended Breeze XCursors with size 16"You can also assign multiple sizes to ctgen for XCursors build:
ctgen configs/x.build.toml -s 16 18 24 32 -p x11 -d "bitmaps/BreezeX-Dark" -n "BreezeX-Dark" -c "Extended Breeze XCursors with multi-sizes"Lets generate BreezeX Cursor with green and black colors:
npx cbmp -d "svg" -o "bitmaps/BreezeX-Hacker" -bc "#00FE00" -oc "#000000"After rendering custom color you have to build cursor through ctgen:
ctgen configs/x.build.toml -d "bitmaps/BreezeX-Hacker" -n "BreezeX-Hacker" -c "Green and Black BreezeX cursors."
ctgen configs/win_rg.build.toml -d "bitmaps/BreezeX-Hacker" -n "BreezeX-Hacker" -c "Green and Black BreezeX cursors."
ctgen configs/win_lg.build.toml -d "bitmaps/BreezeX-Hacker" -n "BreezeX-Hacker" -c "Green and Black BreezeX cursors."
ctgen configs/win_xl.build.toml -d "bitmaps/BreezeX-Hacker" -n "BreezeX-Hacker" -c "Green and Black BreezeX cursors."Afterwards, Generated theme can be found in the themes directory.
npx cbmp -d "svg/original" -o "bitmaps/BreezeX-Gruvbox" -bc "#282828" -oc "#EBDBB2"

This can be very useful when developing or verifying the behavior of a cursor. The following websites cover many of the most commonly used cursors, although they may not include all available options.
For a blueprint for creating XCursors, you may also want to refer to Cursor-demo.
