Build From Source

Prerequisites

  • Python version 3.7 or higher
  • clickgen>=2.2.5 (pip install clickgen)
  • yarn

Quick start

  1. Install build prerequisites on your system
  2. git clone https://github.com/ful1e5/notwaita-cursor
  3. cd notwaita-cursor
  4. yarn install
  5. yarn generate
  6. See Installing Notwaita Cursor.

Getting Started

Once you have the build prerequisites installed, You can personalize colors, customize sizes, change target platforms, and more. This process involves using external tools, as this repository only contains SVG files and configuration for these tools:

  • cbmp: Used for customizing colors and generating PNG files.
  • ctgen: Used for customizing sizes and building XCursor and Windows Cursors.

You can refer to the README of each tool for more information on their command-line options.

Crafting Your Notwaita Cursor

The process of creating custom cursor themes involves two main steps:

  1. Rendering SVG files to PNG files.
  2. Building cursor themes from PNG files.

Customize Colors

cbmp provides three options for changing colors:

  1. -bc: Base color, which replaces the #00FF00 color in the SVG.
  2. -oc: Outlined color, which replaces the #0000FF color in the SVG.
  3. -wc (optional): Watch Background color, which replaces the #FF0000 color in the SVG.
npx cbmp [...] -bc '<hex>' -oc '<hex>' -wc '<hex>'

Alternatively, you can provide a JSON configuration file to render SVG files, which contains a sequence of cbmp commands:

npx cbmp render.json

Customize Sizes

Customize Windows Cursor size

To build Windows cursor with size 16:

ctgen build.toml -s 16 -p windows -d "bitmaps/Notwaita-Black" -n "Notwaita-Black" -c "Notwaita Black Cursors with size 16"

You can also customize output directory with -o option:

ctgen build.toml -s 16 -p windows -d "bitmaps/Notwaita-Black" -o "out" -n "Notwaita-Black" -c "Notwaita Black Cursors with size 16"
Customize XCursor size

To build XCursor with size 16:

ctgen build.toml -s 16 -p x11 -d "bitmaps/Notwaita-Black" -n "Notwaita-Black" -c "Notwaita Black XCursors with size 16"

You can also assign multiple sizes to ctgen for XCursors build:

ctgen build.toml -s 16 24 32 -p x11 -d "bitmaps/Notwaita-Black" -n "Notwaita-Black" -c "Custom Sizes Notwaita Black XCursors"

Examples

Lets generate Notwaita cursor with green and black colors:

npx cbmp -d "svg" -o "bitmaps/Notwaita-Hacker" -bc "#00FE00" -oc "#000000"

After rendering custom color you have to build cursor through ctgen:

ctgen build.toml -d "bitmaps/Notwaita-Hacker" -n "Notwaita-Hacker" -c "Green and Black Notwaita cursors."

Afterwards, Generated theme can be found in the themes directory.

Notwaita Gruvbox
npx cbmp -d "svg" -o "bitmaps/Notwaita-Gruvbox" -bc "#282828" -oc "#EBDBB2" -wc "#000000"
ctgen build.toml -d "bitmaps/Notwaita-Gruvbox" -n "Notwaita-Gruvbox" -c "Groovy Notwaita cursors."
Notwaita Solarized Dark
npx cbmp -d "svg" -o "bitmaps/Notwaita-Solarized-Dark" -bc "#002b36" -oc "#839496" -wc "#000000"
ctgen build.toml -d "bitmaps/Notwaita-Solarized-Dark" -n "Notwaita-Solarized-Dark" -c "Solarized Dark Notwaita cursors."
Notwaita Solarized Light
npx cbmp -d "svg" -o "bitmaps/Notwaita-Solarized-Light" -bc "#839496" -oc "#002b36"
ctgen build.toml -d "bitmaps/Notwaita-Solarized-Light" -n "Notwaita-Solarized-Light" -c "Solarized Light Notwaita cursors."
Notwaita Dracula
npx cbmp -d "svg" -o "bitmaas/Notwaita-Dracula" -bc "#282a36" -oc "#f8f8f2"
ctgen build.toml -d "bitmaps/Notwaita-Dracula" -n "Notwaita-Dracula" -c "Dracula Notwaita cursors."

Testing Cursor

There are several websites that allow you to test your cursor states by hovering over buttons. This can be very useful when developing or verifying the behavior of a cursor. The following websites cover many of the most commonly used cursors, although they may not include all available options.

For a blueprint for creating XCursors, you may also want to refer to Cursor-demo.
