folder - 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.: Banana Cursors and
click
Delete
. - Click 'yes' when prompted.
- Install build prerequisites on your system
git clone https://github.com/ful1e5/banana-cursor
cd banana-cursor
yarn install
yarn generate
- See Installing Banana 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#00FF00
color in the SVG.-oc
: Outlined color, which replaces the#0000FF
color in the SVG.-wc
(optional): Watch Background color, which replaces the#FF0000
color 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.json
To build Windows cursor with size 16
:
ctgen configs/x.build.toml -s 16 -p windows -d "bitmaps/Banana" -n "Banana" -c "The Banana XCursors with size 16"
You can also customize output directory with -o
option:
ctgen configs/win_xl.build.toml -s 16 -p windows -d "bitmaps/Banana" -o "out" -n "Banana" -c "The Banana Windows Cursors with size 16"
To build XCursor with size 16
:
ctgen configs/x.build.toml -s 16 -p x11 -d "bitmaps/Banana" -n "Banana" -c "The Banana 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/Banana" -n "Banana" -c "The Banana XCursors with size 16"
Lets generate Banana Cursor with green and black colors:
npx cbmp -d "svg" -o "bitmaps/Banana-Hacker" -bc "#00FE00" -oc "#000000"
After rendering custom color you have to build cursor through ctgen
:
ctgen configs/x.build.toml -d "bitmaps/Banana-Hacker" -n "Banana-Hacker" -c "Green and Black Banana XCursors."
Afterwards, Generated theme can be found in the themes
directory.
npx cbmp -d "svg" -o "bitmaps/Banana-Gruvbox" -bc "#282828" -oc "#EBDBB2"
ctgen configs/x.build.toml -d "bitmaps/Banana-Gruvbox" -n "Banana-Gruvbox" -c "Groovy Banana XCursors."
ctgen configs/win_rg.build.toml -d "bitmaps/Banana-Gruvbox" -n "Banana-Gruvbox" -c "Groovy Banana Windows Regular Cursors."
ctgen configs/win_lg.build.toml -d "bitmaps/Banana-Gruvbox" -n "Banana-Gruvbox" -c "Groovy Banana Windows Large Cursors."
ctgen configs/win_xl.build.toml -d "bitmaps/Banana-Gruvbox" -n "Banana-Gruvbox" -c "Groovy Banana Windows Extra Large Cursors."
npx cbmp -d "svg" -o "bitmaps/Banana-Solarized-Dark" -bc "#002b36" -oc "#839496"

There are several websites that allow you to test your cursor states by hovering over buttons. 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.
