Support for macOS
vsnthdev opened this issue · comments
I have been using this cursor theme for a few years now. And I am still, in 😍 love with them! Recently I got my hands on macOS and very sadly 😢 the cursors aren't available for macOS. Is there any way I could build these cursors from the source for macOS?
Or, is releasing for macOS planned yet?
I can take a look at what would be required!
Well, please do it. As these cursors are much more modern and professional than the macOS cursors.
@vasanthdeveloper I appreciate the praise, but my full time job is elsewhere ;) I can't promise a timeline for this. At first glance, it doesn't look to be easy. macOS is a lot less customizable than other operating systems... :/
Oh, I will try to research if there is a theming system for macOS, or if the cursors are replaceable at all.
This is looking... unlikely.
It's possible to build the cursor set on macOS! If you run XQuartz applications, it may even be possible to use the cursor set as-is.
brew cask install inkscape xquartz
The built in macOS cursor files seem scattered about the operating system though, so I'm not sure how possible it will be to replace them.
Have a look at alexzielenski/Mousecape? Since I'm not a macOS user, I don't know whether it works ...
Here's a preliminary build for Mousecape! Tested and working on my mac, though some cursors seem to fall back to the default OS images on Mojave in some contexts. Better than nothing though? 🤷♂

EDIT: Fixed a couple missing cursors.
It would be great if you could keep updating cape cursors for Mousecape for macOS and release an official version.
Now that I got Capitaine Cursors working on macOS Big Sur, I'm closing the issue. Good luck @keeferrourke 👍
