771,000 animated and static cursor schemes and cursors in red, green, blue, yellow, aqua, orange, purple, pink, white, grey, black, brown, rainbow, and custom color.
This interactive archive contains a large number of multi-resolution (128 x 128 and 64 x 64) animated and static cursors that have been specially encoded using algorithmic techniques to pack ~771,000+ cursors / files and ~1.7 Tb (~118 Gb when the PNG format option is employed) of data into an ultra-compact app of ~2.2 Mb.
Each individual cursor scheme and/or single cursor can be easily previewed with the dedicated built-in file viewer. A single cursor scheme - comprising of 17 cursors (".ani" or ".cur") and 1 installer script (".inf") - can be extracted to disk as a whole, or installed onto your computer for use with a predefined scheme name or a custom name of your choosing. In addition, a folder's content can be extracted to disk.
The optimal mouse pointer size to view/use these cursors at is size 7 for large (128 x 128) and size 3 for small (64 x 64). Though they will display effectively at any mouse pointer size.
