# `win2xcur` `win2xcur` is a tool that converts cursors from Windows format (`*.cur`, `*.ani`) to Xcursor format. This allows Windows cursor themes to be used on Linux, for example. `win2xcur` is more than a simple image conversion tool. It preserves the cursor hotspot and animation delay, and has an optional mode to add shadows that replicates Windows's cursor shadow effect. ## Installation To install the latest stable version: pip install win2xcur To install from GitHub: pip install -e git+https://github.com/quantum5/win2xcur.git ## Usage For example, if you want to convert [the sample cursor](sample/crosshair.cur): mkdir output/ win2xcur sample/crosshair.cur -o output/ `-s` can be specified to enable shadows. Multiple cursors files can be specified on the command line. For example, to convert a directory of cursors with shadows enabled: win2xcur input/*.{ani,cur} -o output/ For more information, run `win2xcur --help`.
