Cursors with visual effects for Windows 10

Cursors, like other elements of the Windows interface, can be configured. Today, on the Internet, you can find a huge variety of types of cursors. For example, the CursorFX program contains a huge database of various cursors that are distinguished by originality, drawing quality, as well as animation and sound effects!

The program is in Russian; its interface is quite simple. In addition to settings and other introductory information, it contains four main categories:

1. Types of cursors.
2. Effects.
3. Pointer traces.
4. Sounds.

The first category contains varied and original cursor options. All of them differ in their type: texture, color and animation. By the way, the animation is done very competently and effectively, and in terms of quality of execution it is not inferior to the drawing and implementation of the cursors themselves.

In the "Effects" tab, you can further customize them, as well as select to your liking. Effects appear when you click, select text, load programs and open windows. It is worth noting that each of the above actions is accompanied by a unique animation.

Pointer trails - this option is less diverse, but it will appeal to pedantic users who want to get their hands on the perfect cursor.

In the "Sounds" option, you can select the audio effects that will be played during various actions. You can set a separate sound effect for each mouse button.

A direct link, available without registration, will provide maximum download speed to your computer.

Pointer - an arrow with which the user interacts with programs and files. Depending on the action performed, it can take on a different form (about 15 in total). A hand on hover, an hourglass on idle, and so on. On Windows 10, there are several built-in color schemes available for the cursor. All of them are divided into systemic, large, huge. Additionally, it can be changed to only perform certain actions (background, help, wait). Next, we will look at how to change the mouse cursor on Windows 10.

Therefore, you can see how the cursor will look for different situations (idle, special selection, etc.).

You can create your own cursor using standard tools. For example, through Paint (you can use any other photo editor). For this:

1. Save the resulting image in .png format. Convert it to .cur or .ani with any online converter (we used https://convertio.co/en/). Download the file you just created with Paint.

You can create a unique cursor not only using standard Windows tools, but also through third-party software. The most popular program is ArtCursors. It can be downloaded from the official website

1. Click "File" - "Save as" to save the finished result.

The file will be saved to the specified directory already in the .cur format, so you won't have to convert it separately. It will be enough just to install it as a new one through the control panel.
