“Tonic Water” Cursors

Projects/Cursors & Icons

I’ll admit I’m rather picky when it comes to my cursors. Glaring at the same little pointer for a half a dozen hours each day becomes quite the eyesore. As of yet, the only cursor scheme simple enough for my liking has been Apple’s OSX cursors. However, the one downside I find with nearly every OSX cursor pack for Windows is that the “busy” and “waiting” animations are usually limited to either blue or “graphite”. This is fine for OSX themes, but I tend to change my visual style quite frequently, so I want to be able to change my cursors to suit.

To that extent, I decided to design “Tonic Water” (pun intended). “Tonic Water” is a conversion of Mac OSX’s cursors for Windows 2000 onwards, with additional “busy” and “waiting” animations. The pack contains 5 new animations, as well as the 2 originals. The new colours are named after the cocktail mixers and bases.
