- Static cursor skin
If you miss the plain white arrow with the black outline from old Windows, this skin brings it back, pixel edges and all. It runs as a live desktop cursor via Mouse X on Steam, so it replaces your pointer everywhere, not just in one app. There are no animations or effects, just the familiar shape that stays easy to spot on dark or light backgrounds. Creator xxskidxx kept it faithful to the original look without copying any official assets.
