Made by ondrak09 and inspired by Barotrauma, this cursor swaps your pointer for a small sparkly image with a deep sea feel, glinting like light catching metal underwater. It reacts when you click, so it stays interesting during everyday desktop use even though it is not animated. Fans of grim submarine games will get the reference right away. DesertCloud runs as a live desktop cursor through Mouse X on Steam, included with the $2.99 app and free to try with the demo.
“Inspired by Barotrauma” (ondrak09, on the Workshop)
Install Mouse X from Steam, then subscribe to the skin on its Workshop page (or inside the app). Mouse X downloads it and you can apply it with one click. No .cur files, no Control Panel digging.
Does it work on Windows 11?
Yes. Mouse X supports Windows 10 and 11, uses very little memory and CPU, and doesn’t hook or inject into games or other apps, so it runs quietly alongside everything else.
Is this cursor free?
The skin itself is free, like everything on the Mouse X Workshop. Mouse X is $2.99 on Steam, and the free demo lets you try custom cursors before buying.
