Pointer Gallery: Free Mouse Pointers for Windows
Pointer packs for the Cursor Themer in the free SlyPilot. Every pack here is free to use and to share, says who made it, and carries its licence inside
Pointer packs for the Cursor Themer in the free SlyPilot. Every pack here is free to use and to share, says who made it, and carries its licence inside it. The first eighty-four are made by SlyPilot (seventy-two drawn by code, twelve designed with AI help); the others come from well-known open-source pointer themes, converted to Windows pointers by SlyPilot.
In SlyPilot: Cursor Themer > Add a pack... > Get more packs (the SlyPilot gallery) (or say "get more pointer packs"). The list can be filtered by kind (styles, themes, designed with AI help, open-source) and searched by a word: halloween, space, neon, left-handed, coffee ... A pack is downloaded only when you choose it, checked (its SHA-256 must match this page's list), read and written again by SlyPilot, and shown on a card before anything changes. You can also download a .slycursor file below and double-click it.

Pointers a theme does not have keep Windows' own on your PC (Location and Person take its link pointer). Each pack's LICENSE.txt names its source and what was changed, with the full licence.

Other packs
Most pointer packs on the web are for personal use only, so they are not listed here; the Cursor Themer opens them all the same (a zip with an install.inf, a Linux pointer theme, a folder, .cur / .ani files), and checks and rewrites every pointer before Windows sees it. Themes under the GPL or LGPL only (Bibata, Breeze, Capitaine and others) are not hosted here for now; you can add them yourself from their own pages.
