The cursor is too small.
The cursor size depends on your DPI scaling. If you’re DPI scaling is high, I recommend you find mouse cursors with high DPI support.
i cant find the install.inf
It looks like the developer changed the folder structure recently. He created different folders for different cursor sizes. You can find the install.inf file within the folders in the ZIP file. For example, if you want to install Large cursors, you will find the related install.inf file in the Large folder.
when i click on it in mt desktop it only shows standard large and extra large
wow thank you so much

I can only choose one cursor to apply when changing it.
Thank you soooo much man i love this cursor Thanks
