Extended KDE cursor, Highly inspired on KDE Breeze for Windows and Linux with HiDPi Support .

Until 2021 my cursors projects were well funded by pling.com but since the pling-factor on the website has decreased and monthly payments are <500$, It is now dependent on community funding and sponsorships. If you want to help me to maintain BreezeX and my other open source projects actively, consider sponsoring my work on GitHub Sponsor or DM me on Twitter if your company would like to support my projects, I will gladly look into it and post your avatar in the project's README.

I appreciate all the wonderful people who patronize and sponsoring my work.

Installation:

tar -xvf BreezeX-Dark.tar.gz                # extract `BreezeX-Dark.tar.gz`
mv BreezeX-* ~/.icons/                      # Install to local users
sudo mv BreezeX-* /usr/share/icons/         # Install to all users

Uninstallation:

rm ~/.icons/BreezeX-*                       # Remove from local users
sudo rm /usr/share/icons/BreezeX-*          # Remove from all users

Installation:

1. Unzip .zip file
2. Open unziped directory in Explorer, and right click on install.inf.
3. Click 'Install' from the context menu, and authorize the modifications to your system.
4. Open Control Panel > Personalization and Appearance > Change mouse pointers, and select BreezeX Cursors.
5. Click 'Apply'.

Uninstallation:

Run the uninstall.bat script packed with the .zip archive

OR follow these steps:

1. Go to Registry Editor by typing the same in the start search box.
2. Expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder and expand Control Panel folder.
3. Go to Cursors folder and click on Schemes folder - all the available custom cursors that are installed will be listed here.
4. Right Click on the name of cursor file you want to uninstall; for eg.: BreezeX Cursors and click Delete.
5. Click 'yes' when prompted.

• BreezeX build configuration and cursor hotspot settings are bundled in the build.toml file.
• Check out the scripts section in package.json to see how we build the cursor theme, excluding the render scripts. They are useful for converting .svg files to .png files.
• yarn is optional, For building XCursors and Windows cursors from .png files or resizing them you don't need that. If you want to develop/modify BreezeX's colors, and bitmaps, or generate a png file from a svg, Then you can use yarn because bitmapper is written in TypeScript.
• Since BreezeX variants are designed similarly, they share the same hotspot settings so a single configuration file build.toml is responsible for building all variants. Due to this, you will have to change the following options in ctgen to build the appropriate variant:
  • -d: bitmaps directory
  • -n: The name you want to give to the generated theme.
  • -c: Theme comment.
  • See ctgen --help for all available options.

• Python version 3.7 or higher
• clickgen>=2.1.2 (pip install clickgen)
• yarn

1. Install build prerequisites on your system
2. git clone https://github.com/ful1e5/BreezeX_Cursor
3. cd BreezeX_Cursor && yarn build
4. See Installing BreezeX Cursor.

Note Bitmaps are already generated in the bitmaps directory and managed by the maintainer (do not edit them directly).

First make sure you installed the build prerequisites. Now that you have the dependencies, you can try build individual themes from bitmaps and customize sizes, target platform, and etc. with the ctgen CLI (packed with clickgen).

Here are the default commands we used to build the BreezeX's variants and packed them into yarn build:

ctgen build.toml -d 'bitmaps/BreezeX-Dark' -n 'BreezeX-Dark' -c 'BreezeX Dark cursors.'
ctgen build.toml -d 'bitmaps/BreezeX-Light' -n 'BreezeX-Light' -c 'BreezeX Light cursors.'
ctgen build.toml -d 'bitmaps/BreezeX-Black' -n 'BreezeX-Black' -c 'BreezeX Black cursors.'

Afterwards, the themes can be found in the themes directory.

Note You can change the cursor size up to 200 because pngs are rendered with 200x200. If the cursor is resized by more than rendered png size, the final cursor will be blurred.

To build Windows cursor with size 16:

Warning Windows cursor supports only one size, if multiple sizes are given with -s the first size will be considered in build.

ctgen build.toml -s 16 -p windows -d 'bitmaps/BreezeX-Light' -n 'BreezeX-Light' -c 'White BreezeX cursors with size 16'

You can also customize output directory with -o option:

ctgen build.toml -s 16 -p windows -d 'bitmaps/BreezeX-Light' -o 'out' -n 'BreezeX-Light' -c 'White BreezeX cursors with size 16'

To build XCursor with size 16:

ctgen build.toml -s 16 -p x11 -d 'bitmaps/BreezeX-Light' -n 'BreezeX-Light' -c 'White BreezeX cursors with size 16'

You can also assign multiple sizes to ctgen for XCursors build:

ctgen build.toml -s 16 24 32 -p x11 -d 'bitmaps/BreezeX-Light' -n 'BreezeX-Light' -c 'White BreezeX cursors with size 16'

To customize BreezeX's color you have to install node dependencies with yarn install command. After installing dependencies you can customize the colors via npx cbmp Node CLI App which packed with cbmp node package.

Here are the default commands we used for generating the BreezeX's bitmaps and packed them into yarn render:

npx cbmp -d 'svg' -n 'BreezeX-Dark' -bc '#4D4D4D' -oc '#FFFFFF'
npx cbmp -d 'svg' -n 'BreezeX-Light' -bc '#FFFFFF' -oc '#4D4D4D'
npx cbmp -d 'svg' -n 'BreezeX-Black' -bc '#000000' -oc '#FFFFFF'

Lets generate modern BreezeX with green base color and black outline:

npx cbmp -d 'svg' -n 'BreezeX-Hacker' -bc '#00FE00' -oc '#000000'

After rendering custom color you have to build cursor through ctgen:

ctgen build.toml -d 'bitmaps/BreezeX-Hacker' -n 'BreezeX-Hacker' -c 'Green and black BreezeX cursors.'

Afterwards, Generated theme can be found in the themes directory.

npx cbmp -d 'svg' -n 'BreezeX-Gruvbox' -bc '#282828' -oc '#EBDBB2'
ctgen build.toml -d 'bitmaps/BreezeX-Gruvbox' -n 'BreezeX-Gruvbox' -c 'Groovy BreezeX cursors.'

npx cbmp -d 'svg' -n 'BreezeX-Solarized-Dark' -bc '#002b36' -oc '#839496'
ctgen build.toml -d 'bitmaps/BreezeX-Solarized-Dark' -n 'BreezeX-Solarized-Dark' -c 'Solarized Dark BreezeX cursors.'

npx cbmp -d 'svg' -n 'BreezeX-Solarized-Light' -bc '#839496' -oc '#002b36'
ctgen build.toml -d 'bitmaps/BreezeX-Solarized-Light' -n 'BreezeX-Solarized-Light' -c 'Solarized Light BreezeX cursors.'

npx cbmp -d 'svg' -n 'BreezeX-Dracula' -bc '#282a36' -oc '#f8f8f2'
ctgen build.toml -d 'bitmaps/BreezeX-Dracula' -n 'BreezeX-Dracula' -c 'Dracula BreezeX cursors.'
