  • Animated cursor skin

Nightlight gives you a small glowing pointer that pulses softly, like a tiny beacon on a spaceship console. The animation loops gently, so it catches your eye without getting annoying, and it fits nicely if you already run a dark theme on Windows. Install it through Mouse X on Steam and it runs as your live desktop cursor everywhere, not just in one app. The original artwork comes from Xiandi, brought to Mouse X by Hunter.

Frequently asked questions

How do I install the Nightlight 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.
