- Animated cursor skin
Hershell rebuilt the old Aero pointer as animated pixel art, complete with the blue spinning wait ring rendered in smooth AVIF frames. Once installed through Mouse X on Steam, it runs as your live desktop cursor and replaces the default pointer everywhere you click. It suits people who miss how their PC felt around 2009, or anyone who wants something clean and familiar on a modern setup, and it is a fan tribute with no official Microsoft affiliation.
“Your PC, simplified.” (Hershell, on the Workshop)

Frequently asked questions
How do I install the Windows 7 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.
