Usage

It’s very easy to use, as it’s an editor like any other. If you have questions about a tool or button, hover over it (without clicking) to get information.

• Open an image (it must be in PNG format). The margins with empty pixels will be automatically cropped.
• Start creating the arrow; use the brush, colorpicker and your creativity. Once you select the brush, you can also erase with a right-click.
• Once finished, you can add a shadow . A lot of shading is usually added to the arrow so you can refine it by erasing a bit.
• Select from toolbar to choose where you want your cursor to click, such as the arrowhead. Click to place the circle where you want it.
• Press the save button , put it a name, and you’re done. Now let’s install it…

Installation:

• Open your cursors folder with the button and move the cursor you just created there.
• Click , which is just a shortcut to the Windows Mouse Properties.
• In the window that opens, go to Pointers, click Normal Selection and Browse to choose a different one. Go to - Pixie Cursors - folder and select your cursor. You can do the same with the link or hand cursor.
• Press Save As..., put it a name and OK.
• Uncheck the Enable Drop Shadow box to avoid a double shadow, click OK and that’s it! Enjoy your cursor!

Other tools:

• If Crop Empty Margin is enabled when opening an image, it will be cropped to get the best cursor size.
• Hold Shift when using brush to draw a line.
• Press Ctrl when using paint bucket or Fill to paint all pixels the same color.

By clicking on , a new window will appear in which you can:

• Change language: In the Language section below, click on the little arrows icon to change between English or Español. Finally click on the return button to apply and see changes.

• Third-party content: On the left side are the names of each library, project, icons or fonts that were used, click one to read its license and author(s), as well as a short description. You can click on the clip icon to go to each repository/official site and change pages with Next 🢖🢖 or 🢔🢔 Back.
