- Animated cursor skin
Meowl built this animated wait cursor from real photos of the 2019 total solar eclipse, so the loading spinner on your desktop is an actual moon crossing an actual sun. The corona glows as the eclipse cycles through its phases while Windows thinks. Runs as a live desktop cursor through Mouse X on Steam, replacing the default spinning circle. A good fit if you like astronomy, real photography, or just want something calmer than the blue donut.
“Made using real photos of the 2019 total solar eclipse, photographed by me.” (Meowl, on the Workshop)

Frequently asked questions
How do I install the Solar Eclipse Wait Cursor 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.
