Wii cursor theme for Windows

by John Bardinelli { Jun 15th 2007 at 10:03AM }

Deviantart user allewund has created a set of 18 hand-crafted Wii-themed cursors for Windows XP, ready to make your PC experience as Wii-like as possible (ringy background music not included). We've got the pointy hand, the grabby hand, the open hand, the blue hand, a left-handed hand, and slanted versions of almost every one. Three of the cursors are animated, including the rotating blue ring as a loading cursor. To install, simply unzip and copy the folder to C:\Windows\Cursors, then head to the control panel under Mouse > Pointers and change each one individually. Download the cursors.

Nice. When I get home from work, I'm going to have to use these and find a nice Wii visual style to go with it.

How can anyone like the wii that much. I have one and all, but I just find it annoying more than anything else..

Brian @ Jun 15th 2007 12:53PM

I keep trying to rotate my mouse to rotate the cursor!

...Jan... @ Jun 15th 2007 2:14PM

Er...I've been using these for months. Great, now with the power of a blogsite, I no longer feel as unique. Heh.

Rubang B @ Jun 15th 2007 7:50PM

Nice Brian, that's what I immediately thought of too. I'm downloading these when I get home from work.

Is there anyone here who might be able to make a list of what pointer options in the mouse properties correspond to the filename of the wii cursor icon? I am missing quite a few and want to make sure I set it up correctly since the author didn't name the files according to how they are listed in Windows.
