Hello! I’m going to teach you how to get whatever cursor you want.

First, figure out what you want as a cursor. I’m going to be changing mine to a Skyrim mouse.

So first you get a picture of whatever you want, as clean as possible:

Image ID: A screenshot of Skyrim, with a text box on it that reads "The save game is corrupt and cannot be loaded." Importantly, the mouse cursor is fully visible. End IDALT

Open your favorite art program and clean it up, then save as a png:

Image ID: The cursor from Skyrim, with a transparent background. End IDALT

Then go here and convert it to a .cur file. Make sure there’s no gap between the corner of the arrow and the corner of the png.

Next you go to Control Panel:

Image ID: A screenshot of the Windows search screen, where a blue icon labeled "Control Panel" is highlighted. End IDALT

Select Mouse from the list:

Image ID: A Control Panel window with rows of icons in alphabetical order. The one for "Mouse" is highlighted. End IDALT

Then go to the Pointers tab and pick whichever mouse cursor you want to replace.

Image ID: The Mouse Properties window, on the second tab labeled "Pointers," the cursor for "Normal Select" highlighted. End IDALT

Click “Browse…” and find the .cur file you made earlier:

Image ID: The Mouse Properties window, on the second tab labeled "Pointers," the cursor for "Normal Select" highlighted. It now displays the Skyrim cursor. End IDALT

And voila! I now have a Skyrim cursor.

You may have to tinker with the size a bit to get the point to be accurate. If that happens, just resize your png and convert to .cur again.

Happy customization!

yo can you make a guide for custom animated cursors too because stuff like the processing cursor and spinning wheel are important to be animated

So, animated cursors are a little trickier because there isn’t a reliable .cur to .ani (animated cursor) converter. You’ll need to download an old program to get what you want.

But it IS possible! And just as customizable.

Part 1

Let’s say I want my mouse to be Furret. First I need a gif with a transparent background.

Image ID: The Pokémon Furret, standing and bobbing its head, tail wagging. End IDALT

(If you want to make your own gif instead, you need a series of .png files, then to upload them on this website here and customize what kind of timing you want.)

This gif is definitely WAY too big to become a proper mouse. So we need to shrink it down. Upload or paste the link in here, then figure out what size you want.

Image ID: A screenshot in which the Furret gif is being resized. End IDALT

When you’re ready to test it, go ahead and click “Resize Image!”

Image ID: A resized Furret, with the file size preview. It's at 56.84KiB. End IDALT

You’ll want to pay attention to that file size there. At MAX, you never want to go over 60KiB.

Image ID: The Pokémon Furret, standing and bobbing its head, tail wagging. It is now small. End IDALT

So we have our tiny Furret. What now?

You see all those icons underneath the preview?

Image ID: An icon with two arrows diverting into different directions, labeled "split." End IDALT

You want to click this one.

Image ID: The tiny Furret gif with options to change how the gif is split, and a button that reads "Split into frames!" End IDALT

Then hit “Split into frames!” here. Don’t worry about the “Split options” box, it won’t really impact the end result for what we’re going for here.

Image ID: Every frame of Furret, laid out side by side, with buttons to "edit animation" and "download frames as ZIP." End IDALT

Ta-da! You now have every frame of your gif ready. Click “Download frames as ZIP, then once you have the Zip file, extract the files into a normal folder.

Part 2

[img id: Flowey waves their arms around, "It's the circle of life. One day, even me and you, will pass on to give life to other monsters." Aslo considers this, frowning. After a moment, she turns to their parent. "When will we die?" Flowey shrugs nonjudgmentally. "I don't know. No one knows."ALT
Aslo scratches her chin, "Do we become stars when we're dead?" Flowey hesitates, "Er, well-" Chara finishes for them. "No. No one knows for certain what happens to your SOUL after you die. It goes into the great unknown." Aslo looks down, worried but certain. "At least... we won't die for a long time, right?" Chara says "Yeah, no one's dying." as flowey says "We could all die at any moment."ALT
Chara gawks, Aslo is horrified, Asriel is frustrated. The two have their goat forms for faces in this panel. "You can't say that!" Chara shouts. "I can, shush!" Asriel bites back. Aslo looks down at Flowey with wide eyes, They wave it off. "But no one is LIKELY to die. We COULD die of a random plane crash, but the odds of that? Barely possible."ALT
Aslo looks up to the celling, as if a plan could come crashing in at any moment. Flowey moves over to put a vine on her shoulder, she's still staring upwards. "Honey there's no plane crashing into us right now." Flowey puts a vine to their mouth, smiling a little. "Remember when you crashed your bike?" "Are you going to say I almost died then?" Aslo says with fear. "No, the opposite," Flowey assures.ALT
Flowey laughs, "You COULD have broken a rib." Aslo looks like she's only considering the possibility now. "But you DIDN'T. You weren't in that much danger." "But I COULD have." Aslo asks, biting their nails. She's drawn in squiggles. "Yes but-" Aslo interrupts, "COULD an asteroid kill us?" Flowey scrunches down. "yes but-" She continues "Oh god" Chara watches on with worry. id end.]ALT

askfallenroyalty:

[img id: "What Chara means is we were such trouble for her!" Flowey reassures Aslo, "Chara and I were little devils growing up." Aslo frowns, "More fights? Aw Renren." Flowey turns to Chara, speaking quietly to them. "Chara we did NOT kill mom by simply existing. You need to get over this."ALT
Chara sits at the back the couch. "But If I wasn't resurrected, she'd still be here today. It's my fault she aged so quickly. I could of rewound time and- hiccup" Flowey rubs at their face. "Oh for the love of-" "Boss monster biology is stupid. It sucks we made her age faster but-"ALT
Flowey grabs Chara's face. "Everyone grows older and we all die. Hell, Chara you're not truly immortal either, your DT won't last forever. Toriel lived a long life and wanted us to have ours. To be able to make our own choices, even without her." The two are the complete focus of the shot, Asriel says so with the utmost importance.ALT
Aslo interrupts. "Huh? Am I going to die too?" "Yes sweetie, we all die someday." Chara jumps in front of them, "What?! You can't tell her that, she's a baby!" Flowey frowns, "But it's important she knows this. So she's not like you, She needs to know we're all mortal." Then turn back to Aslo, "Come, sit."ALT
An awkward moment where Flowey pats at the couch, inviting an uncertain Aslo to sit by them.ALT
Now Chara, Aslo and Flowey all sit by each other on the couch. Flowey speaks first. "You remember the "Lion Prince" movie, right?" Also nods, "Yeah, you cried the whole time." The two stare at Flowey who looks down with mild embarrassment. "...It's a sad movie." id end.]ALT
