To find this option, head to Settings Ease of Access Cursor & Pointer. (You can press Windows+I to open the Settings application quickly.) To change the pointer’s size, drag the slider under “Change the Pointer Size.”. By default, the mouse pointer is set to 1—the smallest size. You can choose a size from 1 to 15 (which is very large). Intuitive and Convenient. The program is very easy to use - you just need to select the cursor pack from the preview list and press the 'Apply' button to start using new mouse cursors on your Windows desktop.

This section discusses the following topics.

Creating a Cursor

The following example creates two cursor handles: one for the standard hourglass cursor and one for a custom cursor included as a resource in the application's resource-definition file.

You should implement custom cursors as resources. Rather than create the cursors at run time, use the LoadCursor, LoadCursorFromFile, or LoadImage function to avoid device dependence, to simplify localization, and to enable applications to share cursor designs.

The following example uses the CreateCursor function to create a custom cursor at run time. The example is included here to illustrate how the system interprets cursor masks.

To create the cursor, CreateCursor applies the following truth table to the AND and XOR masks.

Before closing, you must use the DestroyCursor function to destroy any cursors you created with CreateCursor. It is not necessary to destroy cursors created by other functions.

Displaying a Cursor

The system automatically displays the class cursor (the cursor associated with the window to which the cursor is pointing). You can assign a class cursor while registering a window class. The following example illustrates this by assigning a cursor handle to the hCursor member of the WNDCLASS structure identified by the wc parameter.

When the window class is registered, the cursor identified by 230 in the application's resource-definition file is the default cursor for all windows based on the class.

Your application can change the design of the cursor by using the SetCursor function and specifying a different cursor handle. However, when the cursor moves, the system redraws the class cursor at the new location. To prevent the class cursor from being redrawn, you must process the WM_SETCURSOR message. Each time the cursor moves and mouse input is not captured, the system sends this message to the window in which the cursor is moving.

You can specify different cursors for different conditions while processing WM_SETCURSOR. For example, the following example shows how to display the cursor whenever the cursor moves over the icon of a minimized application.

When the window is not minimized, the system displays the class cursor.

You can replace a class cursor by using the SetClassLong function. This function changes the default window settings for all windows of a specified class. The following example replaces the existing class cursor with the hCurs2 cursor.

For more information, see Window Classes and Mouse Input.

Confining a Cursor

The following example confines the cursor to the application's window and then restores the cursor to its previous window. The example uses the GetClipCursor function to record the area in which the cursor can move and the ClipCursor function to confine and restore the cursor.

Because there is only one cursor at a time available in the system, an application that confines the cursor must restore the cursor before relinquishing control to another window.

Using Cursor Functions to Create a Mousetrap

The following example uses the SetCursorPos, GetCursorPos, CreateCursor, LoadCursor, and SetCursor functions to create a simple mousetrap. It also uses cursor and timer functions to monitor the cursor's position every 10 seconds. If the cursor position has not changed in the last 10 seconds and the application's main window is minimized, the application changes the cursor and moves it to the mousetrap icon.

An example for a similar mousetrap is included in Icons. It uses the LoadCursor and LoadIcon functions instead of the more device-dependent CreateCursor and CreateIcon functions.

Using the Keyboard to Move the Cursor

Because the system does not require a mouse, an application should be able to simulate mouse actions with the keyboard. The following example shows how to achieve this by using the GetCursorPos and SetCursorPos functions and by processing input from the arrow keys.

Een project uit 2018. Apple maakte toen al jaren geen professionele hardware meer. En de meeste software is er niet voor Linux. Op een hoge resolutie scherm (Retina noemt Apple dat) zag de toch al matige Windows cursor er zeer beroerd uit. Vandaar mijn eigen ontwerp. Bekijk het hele verhaal en de geschiedenis van de cursor in deze video (mijn eerste gesproken YouTube video):

A project from 2018. Apple had not made pro hardware for many years and most software I use is not available for Linux. The Windows cursor looked really bad with high-DPI scaling, so I made my own. Watch the whole story and the cursor history here (my first narrated YouTube video):
