Every cell above shows all 14 mouse states of one theme. The last cell (dashed border + Personal badge) is a personal theme — fork the repo, add your own pack, and it joins the lineup with its own style.

✨ Features

• 🎯 Per-UI-state overrides — 14 mouse states (default, pointer, text, wait, help, not-allowed, grab, grabbing, progress, cell, copy, move, resize-ew, resize-ns), each with its own image, hotspot and size
• 🎨 18 original preset themes — every theme covers all 14 states with baked PNGs:
  • 6 color palettes: Aurora, Honey, Mint, Sunset, Graphite, High Contrast
  • 12 creative themes: Paw 🐾 · Energy ⚡ · Neon 🌃 · Emoji 😀 · Pixel 👾 · Weather ⛅ · Origami 📐 · Astro 🧑🚀 · Candy 🍬 · Ghost 👻 · Hi-Vis XL 🔍 (48px) · Pop 🎈
  • One click to apply; every theme is also downloadable as a ZIP image pack
• 🖼️ Built-in SVG template library (25 hand-drawn shapes) + upload your own PNG/CUR (≤128×128, ≤5 MB validated)
• 📦 Image pack import/export — one ZIP (a PNG per state + manifest.json), inspect/edit/share real image files, or generate with an AI
• 🪟 Apply to system (Windows) — one click writes the theme into the OS cursor scheme (registry + SPI_SETCURSORS), visible in Explorer and every app; macOS: experimental Swift overlay + Accessibility guidance
• 📍 Hotspot editor (X/Y) for pixel-accurate clicks · 🔍 size steps 16/24/32/48
• 👁️ Per-row finished-cursor preview (right) + system-default icon (left) so you always know what you are replacing
• ♿ Accessibility — every rule carries a fallback keyword; failed images degrade to the system cursor, never none
• 💾 Persisted to the profile (dsh-settings), survives restarts
• 🌐 Bilingual (locale-driven zh/en)

📦 Install

# DSH Desktop (the GUI runs the `desktop` profile) — also installable from the Community Market (1024Store)
dsh plugin --profile desktop add dsh-cursor-theme

# Plain dsh web / browser (optional)
dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-cursor-theme

Restart DSH Desktop (or reload dsh web), then open Settings → Cursor Theme.

🎯 Usage

Action	How
Apply a preset theme	Settings → Cursor Theme → click a theme pill
Download a theme as ZIP	Click the download icon next to a theme
Customize one state	Edit next to a state row → upload PNG/CUR or pick a built-in shape → set hotspot/size
Import a ZIP pack	Image pack → Import (e.g. a pack generated by an AI)
Apply to the whole OS (Windows)	Apply to system → one click
Reset everything	Restore system default

🎨 Personal Theme — fork your own

The cell with the Personal badge (dashed border, listed last) is your theme — the bundled cat-sitiao is an example. Two ways to make your theme permanent:

Option A — ZIP pack (no code)

1. In DSH: Settings → Cursor Theme → Import any ZIP image pack (PNGs + manifest.json — export one of the built-ins as a starting template, or generate one with the included AI prompt)
2. Keep the ZIP in your own notes / repo to re-import anywhere

Option B — Fork the repo (recommended for contributors)

1. Fork this repository (a fork is your own copy — you manage it independently)
2. In scripts/theme-art.mjs add your theme entry (copy an existing one, change the palette or SVG art), or drop your own pack at data/themes-personal.json with { "schema": 1, "name": "...", "states": { ... } }
3. Run node scripts/generate-theme-packs.mjs && node scripts/generate-assets.mjs to bake it
4. Apply it in Settings → Cursor Theme, or publish your fork / open a PR to share it

Your fork is yours — customize freely, keep your own palette and icons, and don't worry about upstream changes (your fork is independent).

🛠️ Development

npm install
npm run check    # typecheck + build + test
npm run build    # host lib/ + client client/client.js

Asset pipeline

• scripts/theme-art.mjs — original hand-drawn art for the 12 creative themes (per-state SVG + decorators: glow / gloss / dots)
• scripts/generate-theme-packs.mjs — renders every theme into 32×32 (or 48×48) PNGs via @resvg/resvg-js, emits data/theme-packs/<id>.zip (image packs) + data/themes-<id>.json
• scripts/generate-assets.mjs — merges packs into data/assets.json (built-in preset catalog)
• Client is bundled by esbuild into a single file (client/client.js), with react and @deepseek-ai/* kept external (injected by the host __ModuleLoader__)

Market catalog

• docs/catalog/manifest.json + docs/catalog/v1/plugins.json — standard DSH Community Market catalog source (v1 contract), deployable to any host that serves JSON with the right content-type (e.g. Cloudflare Pages / Vercel)
• npm publishing: npm publish (requires a public npm token with bypass 2FA for publishing)
