    After making this I also found a MacOS system file that had a secret line of code and it said that scrolling back up to SMASH the like button increases your computer performance by 6.9%. Worth I try I would say.

    17 minute video on how to change the mouse cursor. If I sent this to my friends, they would ask if there was something wrong with me. In other words, thanks bog, 10/10, this is my personal comfort zone!

    You could also open the files in the cursors directory in GIMP. They are X11 72x72 mouse cursor files, which are specifically for Linux. You could then export them as PNG from GIMP.

    I just found out that the cursors from gnome-look can be directly opened and exported to PNG with GIMP. The cursor files doesn't have any extension but they are recognized as .xmc files in Linux.

    heya
    you didn't show us how to apply cursors that involve animations
    in windows its easy its just a .ani file but how do I make the animations for busy or wait work?

    Windows actually does have a 2x cursor if you have a high resolution display and set it to recommend 200%, Basically how macOS does it's retina. Also to mention macOS does have a 1x cursor if you use better display mod and put it to maximum native resolution.

    yo
    i did everything
    but there's one problem
    i think it's with mousecape
    its taht whenever i double click and apply it, it gets applied but as soon as i get my cursors out of the mousecape window it changes back to default :/

    • @bogxd

      Try going into system settings -> accessibility -> display -> click "reset colours" in the pointer section. And decrease the pointer size back to original. Let me know if that works.

    I use an Automator automation to convert anything to png
    I just drag it on it and it PNGises the fili in my downloads folder

      @@bogxd I saw this on some forums some time ago
      Basically you go to Automator
      Select make an app
      Then go to library and look for Modify image type
      Then replace the finder folder with the one you want
      And set the type of image to png
      (This app have no idea about how to get the image so you keep it into the dock and put the images on it, maybe it works on desktop too
      Not sure otherwise there might be a way to get images from a selected folder and PNGise them into another)
      Automator as great potential if only there were some up to date tutorials about, UA-cam completely lacks of it :/
      (I started using this trick since I use a free image cropper image2icon to crop images in big sur shapes, but in the free version it only exports in icns that I could have not publish on macosicons )
      I’d attached screenshots but it’s not possible here

      Uuu thanks for the explanation! It's really handy. It works great and even resizes images but except for SVG files xd (which are the ones I needed lol)@@ms1-Alex

    hey Bog, how does the .cur file work?

    • @bogxd
      @bogxd  2 місяці тому +1

      It's basically a cursor file that windows uses for cursor files. You can drag it into Mousecape just like a PNG file (I'm pretty sure)

    Bog is the uncrowned king of presentation and directing himself (viva la OCD). I hope at least 10% of the viewers can realize and understand the complexity of creating this kind of content. ... Just for you know, dear Bog, we dont give a f about changing mouse cursors on MacOS, but many of us are here for the peerless experience.
