To change the mouse cursor, follow these general steps (mainly for Windows systems):
- Open mouse settings:
- Press the Windows key and type "mouse" or "mouse settings," then open it.
- Alternatively, open Settings with Windows + I, then navigate to Bluetooth & devices > Mouse.
- Customize cursor appearance:
- In mouse settings, look for "Adjust mouse & cursor size" where you can change cursor size and color.
- For more detailed cursor changes, click "Additional mouse options" to open Mouse Properties.
- In the Mouse Properties window:
- Go to the "Pointers" tab.
- To change the scheme (the look of all cursor pointers), select from the "Scheme" dropdown and click Apply.
- To change an individual cursor, select it under "Customize," click "Browse," choose a new cursor file, and then click Apply.
- You can download free custom cursors online and then import them in the Browse step.
These steps are valid for Windows 10 and 11 and allow changing the cursor's size, color, and style comprehensively.
