Customize Cursor Size

[Thales]

Can the size and color of the cursor be customized?

I have poor vision. Consequently I keep "losing" the cursor. To improve its visibility, I would like to make the cursor bigger and to change its color.

Yes, it's possible. You can make a mod with resized cursor images (https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/Modding_Guide). Default cursor is at mod/art/textures/cursors/default-arrow.png, in-game cursors are inside public/art/textures/cursors.

Thank-you for responding. I looked at (https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/Modding_Guide), which could serve as a good starting point. Attempting to follow-up on this did not work-out. I should mention that I am using Linux Mint and I installed 0 A.D. as a flatpak on my desktop computer. When I went to look for the following directories/files: mod/art/textures/cursors/default-arrow.png, in-game cursors are inside public/art/textures/cursors, these directories/files were non-existent. Additionally, there was no directory: binaries/data/mods/. This may or may not be a consequence of using the flatpak version of 0 A.D.

You can download the files from the repository https://trac.wildfiregames.com/browser/ps/trunk/binaries/data/mods/public/art/textures/cursors change them, and put them in a mod of your own.

Thanks. I'll give that a try.
