Someone finally made the Windows 11 pointer match a dark desktop. This skin flips the familiar arrow to a deep charcoal finish with a subtle animated shimmer, so it feels native instead of pasted on. Built by /C.r.e.s.h.v.e/ as an AVIF image, it stays sharp at any cursor size and sits nicely against dark wallpapers and night mode apps. It runs as a live desktop cursor through Mouse X on Steam, no fiddling with system files.

How to get it

  1. Install Mouse X from Steam. The free demo works too.
  2. Subscribe to this skin on its Workshop page, or find “windows 11 dark” in the in-app browser.
  3. Select it in Mouse X and your Windows cursor changes instantly. No hooks, no injection.

Frequently asked questions

How do I install the windows 11 dark cursor?

Install Mouse X from Steam, then subscribe to the skin on its Workshop page (or inside the app). Mouse X downloads it and you can apply it with one click. No .cur files, no Control Panel digging.

Does it work on Windows 11?

Yes. Mouse X supports Windows 10 and 11, uses very little memory and CPU, and doesn’t hook or inject into games or other apps, so it runs quietly alongside everything else.

Is this cursor free?

The skin itself is free, like everything on the Mouse X Workshop. Mouse X is $2.99 on Steam, and the free demo lets you try custom cursors before buying.
