Machine Cursors

Customization of the computer is a popular thing, and benefits from an abundance of default, and third-party resources, after all, it’s not called a personal computer for nothing. Almost every aspect of Windows can be customized, and cursors make no exception. For a new theme, Machine Cursors can change the default configuration with new, animated pointers.

The downloaded package contains all new pointers, as well as the means, and instructions to install them. Sure enough, this can be manually done by opening up the Mouse Properties panel from the Control Panel, and switching to the Pointers tab to change pointers one by one. However, this can take quite some time, but comes in handy in case only a few need to be changed.

An alternative, and the easy way to deploy the set of pointers is to open up the context menu on the Scheme.INF file, and choosing to install. A visit to the Mouse Properties panel still needs to be made, because the theme doesn’t automatically switch to the new configuration.

All default pointers are changed, with the option to have them previewed in the dedicated pointers tab. Not all of them are animated. Those which are make the pointer pretty intuitive, with a set of small doors sliding open to reveal help selection, movement or resize indicators, link selection, and more.
