This action exports assets from the Figma file and commits them to assets, then renders the sprites into pngs and packs them into proper (and if necessary animated) x11 cursor files. It uses the custom made GitHub Action phisch/figma-cursor-theme-action to do that. This repository contains a GitHub workflow, that generates a fully functional X11 cursor theme and variants from the linked figma file. Each sprite contains a name, information about the cursor hotspot, animation and which kind of variant it is. Those sprites are named and contain metadata necessary to generate a cursor theme from them. The parts are assembled, and styled into sprites. A good example is the hand part that comes with multiple variations for each single phinger: If possible, parts are designed very modular, which lets you create multiple different icons from one part. Which means will be pixel perfect for any reasonable size: 24 Changing one of those parts, will change every cursor sprite that uses it.Įach part is designed on a base grid of 24 and 32: PartsĮvery cursor sprite is assembled from core parts. You can find an up to date copy of that document in this repositories root directory at phinger-cursors.fig. Check out the multi-page Figma document used by this repository.

Let me know how you feel.Phinger-cursors are designed in a Figma document. Personally, I like the new layout and grouping of options, so I’m quite happy to get rid of the old Control Panel.Įven if you don’t agree with me you surely must see why having all these options spread in different places is a bad thing. Microsoft promises the old Control Panel options will disappear soon, so hopefully, we’ll get all settings bundled up in the new Settings app. You can also add your own cursor schemes if you fancy something completely different. If this is not confusing I don’t know what is.Īnyway, you can still select the old cursor schemes, dating back to Windows XP I believe. It’s found in Settings – Bluetooth & Devices – Mouse – Additional mouse settings. I’m not that old just yet.Īnd if you’re wondering, as confusing as it is, you can still access the old Mouse Properties panel. Size “1” is too small for me, white “3 is a bit too big. Under Mouse pointer style you can change the size of the cursor. I will try it for a couple of days and see how I feel about it. Out of the four, Inverted must be the coolest and weirdest option at the same time.
