The banana cursor.
Banana 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 Banana 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
- Banana 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 Banana'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
Quick start
- Install build prerequisites on your system
https://github.com/ful1e5/banana-cursor
cd banana-cursor && yarn build
- See Installing Banana Cursor.

Delete
. - Click 'yes' when prompted.
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 Banana-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 'Banana cursors with size 16'
You can also customize output directory with -o
option:
ctgen build.toml -s 16 -p windows -o 'out' -c 'Banana cursors with size 16'
Customize XCursor size
To build XCursor with size 16
:
ctgen build.toml -s 16 -p x11 -c 'Banana 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 'Banana cursors with size 16'
