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/fuchsia-cursor
3. cd fuchsia-cursor
4. yarn install
5. yarn generate
6. See Installing Fuchsia 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 Fuchsia 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 configs/win_rg.build.toml -s 16 -d "bitmaps/Fuchsia" -n "Fuchsia" -c "First OpenSource port of FuchsiaOS Windows Cursors with size 16"

You can also customize output directory with -o option:

ctgen configs/win_xl.build.toml -s 16 -d "bitmaps/Fuchsia" -o "out" -n "Fuchsia" -c "First OpenSource port of FuchsiaOS Windows Cursors with size 16"

Customize XCursor size

To build XCursor with size 16:

ctgen configs/x.build.toml -s 16 -d "bitmaps/Fuchsia" -n "Fuchsia" -c "FuchsiaOS XCursors with size 16"

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

ctgen configs/x.build.toml -s 16 18 24 32 -d "bitmaps/Fuchsia" -n "Fuchsia" -c "FuchsiaOS XCursors"

Examples

Lets generate Fuchsia Cursor with green and black colors:

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

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

• XCursor:

  ctgen configs/x.build.toml -d "bitmaps/Fuchsia-Hacker" -n "Fuchsia-Hacker" -c "Green and Black FuchsiaOS XCursors."

• Windows Regular Cursor:

  ctgen configs/win_rg.build.toml -d "bitmaps/Fuchsia-Hacker" -n "Fuchsia-Hacker" -c "Green and Black FuchsiaOS Regular Windows Cursors."

• Windows Large Cursor:

  ctgen configs/win_lg.build.toml -d "bitmaps/Fuchsia-Hacker" -n "Fuchsia-Hacker" -c "Green and Black FuchsiaOS Large Windows Cursors."

• Windows Extra Large Cursor:

  ctgen configs/win_xl.build.toml -d "bitmaps/Fuchsia-Hacker" -n "Fuchsia-Hacker" -c "Green and Black FuchsiaOS Extra Large Windows Cursors."

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

Fuchsia Gruvbox

npx cbmp -d "svg" -o "bitmaps/Fuchsia-Gruvbox" -bc "#282828" -oc "#EBDBB2"

ctgen configs/x.build.toml -d "bitmaps/Fuchsia-Gruvbox" -n "Fuchsia-Gruvbox" -c "Groovy FuchsiaOS XCursors."
ctgen configs/win_rg.build.toml -d "bitmaps/Fuchsia-Gruvbox" -n "Fuchsia-Gruvbox" -c "Groovy FuchsiaOS Windows Regular Cursors."
ctgen configs/win_lg.build.toml -d "bitmaps/Fuchsia-Gruvbox" -n "Fuchsia-Gruvbox" -c "Groovy FuchsiaOS Windows Large Cursors."
ctgen configs/win_xl.build.toml -d "bitmaps/Fuchsia-Gruvbox" -n "Fuchsia-Gruvbox" -c "Groovy FuchsiaOS Windows Extra Large 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.

• Cursor-Test
• Mozilla CSS Cursor

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