• Google Cursor build configuration and cursor hotspot settings are bundled in thebuild.toml file.
• Check out the scripts section inpackage.json to see how we build the cursor theme,excluding the render scripts. They are useful for converting.svg files to.png files.
• yarn is optional, For building XCursors and Windows cursors from.png files or resizing themyou don't need that. If you want to develop/modify Google Cursor's colors, and bitmaps, or generate a pngfile from a svg, Then you can use yarn because bitmapper is written in TypeScript.
• Since Google Cursor variants are designed similarly, they share the same hotspot settings so asingle configuration filebuild.toml is responsible for building all variants. Due to this, you will haveto change the following options inctgen to build the appropriate variant:
  • -d: bitmaps directory
  • -n: The name you want to give to the generated theme.
  • -c: Theme comment.
  • Seectgen --help for all available options.

• Python version 3.7 or higher
• clickgen>=2.1.2 (pip install clickgen)
• yarn

1. Installbuild prerequisites on your system
2. git clone https://github.com/ful1e5/Google_Cursor
3. cd Google_Cursor && yarn build
4. SeeInstalling Google Cursor.

NoteBitmaps are already generated in thebitmaps directory andmanaged by the maintainer(do not edit them directly).

First make sure you installed thebuild prerequisites.Now that you have the dependencies, you can try build individual themes from bitmaps andcustomize sizes, target platform, and etc. with thectgen CLI (packed withclickgen).

Here are the default commands we used to build the Google Cursor's variants and packed them intoyarn build:

ctgen build.toml -d'bitmaps/GoogleDot-Blue' -n'GoogleDot-Blue' -c'Blue cursor theme inspired on Google'ctgen build.toml -d'bitmaps/GoogleDot-Black' -n'GoogleDot-Black' -c'Black cursor theme inspired on Google'ctgen build.toml -d'bitmaps/GoogleDot-White' -n'GoogleDot-White' -c'White cursor theme inspired on Google'ctgen build.toml -d'bitmaps/GoogleDot-Red' -n'GoogleDot-Red' -c'Red cursor theme inspired on Google'

Afterwards, the themes can be found in thethemes directory.

NoteYou can change the cursor size up to 200 because pngs are rendered with 200x200.If the cursor is resized by more than rendered png size, the final cursor will be blurred.

To build Windows cursor with size16:

WarningWindows cursor supports only one size, if multiple sizes are given with-s the first size willbe considered in build.

ctgen build.toml -s 16 -p windows -d'bitmaps/GoogleDot-Blue' -n'GoogleDot-Blue' -c'Blue cursor theme inspired on Google with size 16'

You can also customize output directory with-o option:

ctgen build.toml -s 16 -p windows -d'bitmaps/GoogleDot-Blue'-o'out' -n'GoogleDot-Blue' -c'Blue cursor theme inspired on Google with size 16'

To build XCursor with size16:

ctgen build.toml -s 16 -p x11 -d'bitmaps/GoogleDot-Blue' -n'GoogleDot-Blue' -c'Blue cursor theme inspired on Google with size 16'

You can also assign multiple sizes toctgen for XCursors build:

ctgen build.toml -s 16 24 32 -p x11 -d'bitmaps/GoogleDot-Blue' -n'GoogleDot-Blue' -c'Blue cursor theme inspired on Google with size 16'

To customize Google Cursor's color you have to install node dependencies withyarn install command.After installing dependencies you can customize the colors vianpx cbmp Node CLI App which packed withcbmp node package.

Here are the default commands we used for generating the Google Cursor's bitmaps and packed them intoyarn render:

npx cbmp -d'svg' -n'GoogleDot-Blue' -bc'#4285F4' -oc'#FFFFFF'npx cbmp -d'svg' -n'GoogleDot-Black' -bc'#000000' -oc'#FFFFFF'npx cbmp -d'svg' -n'GoogleDot-White' -bc'#FFFFFF' -oc'#000000'npx cbmp -d'svg' -n'GoogleDot-Red' -bc'#FF0000' -oc'#FFFFFF'

Lets generate modern GoogleDot with green base color and black outline:

npx cbmp -d'svg' -n'GoogleDot-Hacker' -bc'#00FE00' -oc'#000000'

After rendering custom color you have to build cursor throughctgen:

ctgen build.toml -d'bitmaps/GoogleDot-Hacker' -n'GoogleDot-Hacker' -c'Green and black GoogleDot cursors.'

Afterwards, Generated theme can be found in thethemes directory.

npx cbmp -d'svg' -n'GoogleDot-Gruvbox' -bc'#282828' -oc'#EBDBB2'ctgen build.toml -d'bitmaps/GoogleDot-Gruvbox' -n'GoogleDot-Gruvbox' -c'Groovy GoogleDot cursors.'

npx cbmp -d'svg' -n'GoogleDot-Solarized-Dark' -bc'#002b36' -oc'#839496'ctgen build.toml -d'bitmaps/GoogleDot-Solarized-Dark' -n'GoogleDot-Solarized-Dark' -c'Solarized Dark GoogleDot cursors.'

npx cbmp -d'svg' -n'GoogleDot-Solarized-Light' -bc'#839496' -oc'#002b36'ctgen build.toml -d'bitmaps/GoogleDot-Solarized-Light' -n'GoogleDot-Solarized-Light' -c'Solarized Light GoogleDot cursors.'

npx cbmp -d'svg' -n'GoogleDot-Dracula' -bc'#282a36' -oc'#f8f8f2'ctgen build.toml -d'bitmaps/GoogleDot-Dracula' -n'GoogleDot-Dracula' -c'Dracula GoogleDot cursors.'
