How to change the mouse pointer?
If you change your cursors frequently, consider using a free tool that allows you to change cursor from Windows Explorer context menu. Beside changing cursors one by one, the tool also allows exporting and importing cursor schemes.
If you do not want to install any software, just click on Control Panel in Start menu, then double-click the Mouse icon and switch to Pointer tab. Here you can change the cursors used by Windows in different situations to the downloaded ones.
Adding your cursors to the library
If you are an author of a cursor or cursor set, you may present your work to visitors of this web site. To add your cursors to the library:
- Get RealWorld Cursor Editor (it's free).
- Open a cursor file, and click the command "Cursor"->"Add to Online Library" from application menu.
- When uploading, please use the same email address associated with your account on this server.
- Carefully choose file name and fill in the description. This helps people to find your cursor when using the search box.
- The cursors are by default added to the "Junkyard". If you have already added multiple cursors with similar theme and you would like to have them turned into a cursor set, register or login and return to this page.
Important: only cursor authors or copyright holders may add cursor to the library. If you are using pictures downloaded from internet to create cursors, you must make sure the author of the pictures allows this use of their work.
If you have found that someone has used your pictures and added them to the library without your permission, contact us immediately at info@rw-designer.com and they will be removed.
Important: always create 32x32 pixels cursors unless you have a serious reason not to. While it is possible to make cursors of non-standard size, Windows will automatically resample them decreasing image quality.
