ive been usin bibata since 2.0 and im bored, what cursors yall use?
(Edit: Fixed image)For about a week, I had my coworker’s face as my cursor. Just because I could. I wanted to see how long it would take people to notice. I share my screen a lot. I was surprised it took that long.
In my early edgy metal phase I used the Sign of the horns as a custom cursor.
Fun fact, in Germany this hand sign is often called Pommesgabel (fries fork)Pommesgabel (fries fork)
I was stationed in [the former West] Germany from 1985-1988. Upon arrival we had a week-long quickstart intro to German culture. One of the lessons taught was srsly, don’t pick up your fries with your fingers!!! I forgot about that until reading your comment. :-)
Quite fond of it. To the point where I kind of have to use these cursors on any PC I seriously use. Ordinary cursors just look out of place. At the very least, I always want tailless cursors. Seeing a tail on my cursor just feels old-fashioned, vestigial, and cringe to me.
That’s interesting, i guess i’m the old fashioned type then cause i’m the reverse of that. Cursors without a tail always look off to me. It’s why i never liked things like bibata eventhough it seems to be pretty popular.
Vimix
Same, this or the Breeze Snow cursor, depending on my overall theme at the moment.
Polarnight:
Looks pretty; I might try that one out myself.
People downvoting because now they have to customize their cursor and never considered it before lol
banana cursor ftw. banana cursor github page
Do they actually look like stickers in use, or is that just the presentation on the GitHub page?
They look the same
Red alert 3 cursors
The one with the blinking white block. Except when I’m in insert mode of vim then blinking white line
I was looking for the obligatory ‘I use a tiling WM btw’ comment but it seems that everyone is touching grass here
Genuine question why do people do that? What workflow is it better for? I’m sure past a certain learning curve it’s good for stuff
Shortcuts and organization:
-
i can instantly jump to exactly the window i want with a single shortcut
-
Everything is open maximized by default which, like, why shouldn’t it be?
-
some people are more comfortable doing all of their computer actions from the keyboard without reaching for the mouse. tiling WMs tend to make that easier to do at the cost of requiring some learning
Not yet mentioned:
Polar cursors - long time classic. The download seems to have a wrong extension, correct is .tar.bz2.
I also just noticed Oreo cursors - not sure if I like them yet:
I use Posy’s
Eyyyy there are dozens of us! I used to manage IT for a school trust - about 2000 endpoints - and I actually pushed it out to every single one of them. They’re more pleasing to my eye, they scale perfectly and are easier to track. I got compliments from art teachers and SEND workers which is about as high a praise as you can imagine.
