Custom Mouse Cursor

A simple mod that changes the mouse pointer in-game to your own graphic.

Originally written to fix the mouse cursor for my 4K display under Linux, which was half it's size. Hopefully this may be useful if you have the same problem, or if the default pointer in this game is not to your liking.


BEFORE USING

1. Prepare the mouse pointer image in your graphics program, such as GIMP or Photoshop.
- Dimensions: 48x48 pixels
- Make sure the layer has transparency (alpha channel)
- Export as PNG

2. Name the file "CustomPointer.png" and place in the root of the Cities_Skylines game directory (**/SteamApps/common/)

For example, here's the default cursor graphic, but twice the size:

NOTES

- The mod expects the file to exist. It may throw an error if the file is missing.
- The cursor will change after the level (city) has loaded.
- Pictured screenshot is an example using the "Breeze Snow" cursor.
- Technically, the cursor is in "hardware accelerated" (auto) mode.
- Not tested on Windows or macOS.


SOURCE CODE

The mod comes with the source code included, allowing the game to recompile (if necessary) when the game is updated. It is also available on GitHub:
