- Animated cursor skin
If you miss the clean look of a Linux desktop on your Windows machine, this one gets close. Made by meowww, GNOME 45 recreates the soft dark pointer style of the GNOME desktop environment, with smooth animated states rendered from AVIF frames. The shape stays simple, a matte dark arrow that reads clearly on light and dark backgrounds alike. It runs as a live desktop cursor through Mouse X on Steam ($2.99 once, free demo available, all Workshop skins included).
Use this cursor on your desktop
- Get Mouse X on Steam. There’s a free demo, so you can try it first.
- Subscribe to this skin on its Workshop page, or find “GNOME 45” in the in-app browser.
- Select it in Mouse X and your Windows cursor changes instantly. No hooks, no injection.

Frequently asked questions
How do I install the GNOME 45 cursor?
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.
