Changing mouse colour
There are two ways you can use to change the mouse colour.
- Using the Windows Settings.
- Using third-party cursors.
Using Windows Settings
Windows provides a quick and easy way of changing your pointer’s colour. Here’s how.
Step 1: Press the Windows key + I to open Windows Settings. Head over to Accessibility.
Step 2: Click on Mouse pointer and touch.
Step 3: Click on the Custom cursor and select the colour you want.
Using third-party cursors
If the default Windows cursors aren’t good enough for you, you can download third-party cursor files and use them instead.
Step 1: The first step is finding a cursor pack or file. We’re using Windows 11 Cursors Concept v2 from Deviant Art for this article.
Step 2: Extract the downloaded file to a location you can access.
Step 3: Inside the archive, there are two folders, one for the dark theme and one for the light theme. Open whichever theme you want to install, and right-click the install.inf file and click Show More Options.
Step 4: Click the Install button, and your cursor pack will be installed.
In case you don’t want to install the entire pack and want to use only a few files, here’s how.
Step 1: Press the Windows key and search for Mouse settings. Click the corresponding search result.
Step 2: Click Additional mouse settings.
Step 3: Head over to the Pointers tab and click the Browse… button.
Step 4: Browse to where you’ve exacted your cursor pack and select the cursor you want to use.
