Relics of the Sanguine Rose - A vampire-gothic themed cursor Windows, made with pixel art.

I wanted to make my own cursor with a vampire or goth theme in mind. So here we go, these cursors are finally made. It's a complete set (except for the uncustomizable stuff like zoom and grabbing hands), includes that fully animated moving "busy" hourglass and left-handed versions for those who are using left hand.

I made them specifically for windows but feel free to convert the cursors that work for MacOS or Linux.

About the size:

Windows automatically make cursors become 32x32 in size (thats the default size), and if you try to resize the cursor in the Windows 11/10 mouse settings (in "Settings" not from the control panel). It would revert to one of Windows' default cursor look if you try using the resizing sliders. The cursors are originally made 128x128 (like large size cursor), but Windows automatically put it to 32x32 (or other sizes if you adjust the scale from setting)

Yep... that's moving hourglass alright, good to look at while your program waits.

Softwares used:

Clip Studio Paint (drawing them)

GIMP 3.0 (making the png's become .cur files)

RealWorld Cursor Editor (adjustments and such)

Download links (its free, like free beer... or blood for vampires):

Since the frog theme I made earlier was light mode, I decided to make a dark mode skin as well. This one is galaxy-themed and in shades of purple, pink, and blue.

You can get the code under the cut.

(I'm super proud of this one, y'all)

Dracula's Castle AO3 site skin

Video description: a logged in user navigating AO3. The site is in dark mode with an image of a castle on a rocky outcrop, surrounded by clouds and with a full moon shining in the sky. The lighting is a teal blue rather than white or yellow.

As the user navigates the site, the image background stays in place. Areas with text have a semi-transparent background that allows the user to both read the pale-blue text and also see the dark image behind it. Headers, boxes, and buttons have glow effects on them.

On the homepage, the users favourite tags are each contained in a box with rounded corners and a glow behind it. Each tag is preceded by either a 🌙 or a 💫, recoloured to match the text. The site header and footer both have a black background.

When browsing works, there is a ▫️(also recoloured to match the text) that indicates when the tag type switches from warnings to relationships, from relationships to characters, and from characters to additionals. Warning tags have a solid teal background. Relationships have a semi-transparent teal background. Character and Additional tags have a black background. All tags are separated by being in boxes and each box has a glow effect. The icons at the top left of the fic blurb are desaturated in colour and also glow.

The search form has a transparent background and all of the text and lines are teal. There are glow effects on the outer box of the form as well as on the text entry areas.

On the user's dashboard, work blurbs have a transparent background and a glowing border around them. The dashboard has a semi-transparent blue background and is outlined in glowing teal. The current page is indicated by a more opaque background on the page's link. Works that have been visited have a grey title. End description.
