The glossy black look of Vista era Aero cursors, running as a live desktop cursor through Mouse X on Steam. You get the dark pointer with its subtle sheen, plus the animated spinning ring that replaces the old hourglass when something loads. Based on Zach-Ska's Aero Vista Cursors Black set, it sits nicely against dark wallpapers and dark mode apps. Anyone who spent real time on a Vista machine will recognize it immediately.

Frequently asked questions

How do I install the Windows Vista Black 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.
