Why?Because remember we will be adding a tiny arrow at the top-left portion of our cursor. Let’s move the image to the bottom right corner. Hold the CTRL key on your keyboard and press the arrow keys to move it. We will now move the image to the right position. When the image is finally inserted in the program, it would look as the screenshot above.Remember that it is already smaller right? But it will just look bigger when you open it using the too. Click on the “check” or “okay” button to confirm you got the right image. Import the your chosen image into the program. At first, you will see the blue interface of the tool but you can customize it’s appearance. Step 3: Creating the personalized pointer or cursor. We have the perfect size now! Copy it to your clipboard by clicking on Edit and then Copy then we’re ready for the step 3. When you’re done setting both at 30 pixels, then click OK. See screenshot below:įind the ‘Set new size:’ you’ll see that the width is at 80. Means we have to change our image to a size 30 x 30.Ĭlick on: Image, Resize/Resample. The mouse pointer or cursor size is 32 x 32 pixels. When you open the tool, it should look like this:

Make sure to download the 2 programs at the beginning of the tutorial. We would use the program called Irfanview. If the image you’ve chosen is still large, then we really have to make it smaller. Right click on this image and choose copy. I just soooo love personalized everything! Note: The white background of these samples are actually TRANSPARENT when used Just when you know you could follow instructions patiently, then this tutorial would work for you.īy the way, here’s what I made for me and my office mates. They sure loved it! You don’t have to be very expert or a computer geek.

I also used the same cursor for my office mates but just change the name accordingly to the users. Well I’m not an expert yet but I’m happy enough to create designs with my name on it.

So with this option to change, that’s when I decided to search about creating my very own mouse pointer design. When you go to the mouse properties,you can actually customize which among the images you could use for every action (help select, working in background,busy,precision select and more). The very basic design is the normal select pointer or the white arrow shown on the photo above. The mouse pointer or mouse cursor is a pointing device to indicate a position in the monitor in which whatever text or image when pointed with this cursor shall respond depending on the user’s action.
