If you remember the chunky, colorful pointers from the old Windows 98 Plus! pack, this skin brings that look back as animated pixel art, busy spinner included. It runs as a live desktop cursor through Mouse X on Steam, so the animation plays right on your real pointer. The Celestial made this as a fan port, not an official Microsoft release. Mouse X costs $2.99 once (free demo available), and every Workshop skin like this one is included.

Frequently asked questions
How do I install the The Windows 98 Plus! Mouse theme 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.
