- Static cursor skin
This one brings back the classic white arrow with the black outline, the hourglass wait cursor, and the chunky I-beam from the old Windows days. Everything looks pixel sharp, just like it did on a CRT in 1997. If you grew up clicking through Windows 95 or 98, this will feel familiar right away. Made by Dish, it runs as a live desktop cursor through Mouse X on Steam, so your pointer stays retro everywhere you go.
