How to use Custom Cursor for Windows 10

Q: How to use Custom Cursor Creator tool?

If you for some reason didn’t find a cursor pack you want in our giant custom cursor collection, you can create your own using our Custom Cursor Creator tool from your own images.

  • Accessing the Custom Cursor Creator tool.

    Navigate to the Custom Cursor website and press the Custom Cursor Creator link in the upper menu in the Tools section. Or just follow this link to access the Custom Cursor Creator tool.

  • Choosing the cursor.

    Press on the blue + icon of the cursor in the upper left part of the screen to add your cursor image. You can also use drag and drop in the cursor area next to it to add a cursor image. This image will be used as a cursor in your own cursor pack. You choose to add only the cursor and create a pack with it, but a combination of a cursor and pointer is more practical and looks better. But if you choose only the cursor, the pointer will be your Windows default.

  • Adjusting your own cursor pack.

    Well-built cursor pack is crucial to its ease of use, so here we will review three steps to make your cursor pack better:

    1. You can name your cursor pack so that you can find it in the My Custom Cursor collection more easily. To do so input the desired name in the Name: field above the cursor and pointer images before adding them to your Custom Cursor for Windows application.

      Set Name for Custom Cursor.

    2. You can also remove backgrounds in some images you upload to optimize their performance as cursors. To do so you will need to click on an Eraser icon next to the cursor or pointer image preview. Once clicked the image will be redrawn and displayed in the preview without a background.

    3. Setting an active point on the cursor pack images. An active point is a spot where cursor action happens, the point used for clicking, etc. To set an active point in the cursor and pointer in preview sections, just click on a place where it fills comfortable for you to be clicking with your new own cursor and pointer. After the point is set a purple aiming circle will show its location.

    4. If you do not like how the image looks as a cursor or pointer you can delete it by pressing a Trashcan next to its preview image. The image will be removed.

  • Adding the created pack to My Custom Cursor collection.

    After you are done adding images for your own custom cursor, and completed the actions mentioned in the Adjusting your own cursor pack it is time to add them to the My Custom Cursor collection in your Custom Cursor Windows application. To do so simply click the Windows logo on a blue ADD button and it will be added to your Custom Cursor for Windows app where you can activate it or it will be waiting for you for later use.

  • Setting a created pack.

    Alternatively to adding your own custom cursor pack you can set it without adding it to My Custom Cursor collection. It will be instantly set as your current cursor in the Custom Cursor browser extension and will not be editable if you leave the page. A cursor pack will be set in your browser as a cursor until cursor settings are changed or overwritten.
