Custom cursor

If you want to use the cursor at Pikmin Wiki on your whole computer, here's how you do it.

  1. Get the cursor.
    • Open up that page, and click on the link that says "Onion2.ico‎", just above the warning (don't worry about the warning).
    • On your browser, go to a menu that reads something like "File"/"Save" (or just press Ctrl+S), and save the cursor on your computer somewhere. I highly recommend that you save it on the likes of My Documents, and not on the desktop.
  2. Open Control Panel.
    • On Windows XP or 7, open the Start menu, and click on Control Panel on the right side of the menu.
    • On Windows 8, right-click the Start button, and click on Control Panel.
  3. Enter the mouse settings.
    • On Windows XP, if you have several icons, choose the Mouse one, but if you only have 10, click on Printers and Other Hardware and then find the mouse settings.
    • On Windows 7 and 8, use the search feature of the Control Panel, which is on the top-right of the window, and search for "mouse". You should find the mouse settings fairly easily.
  4. Go on the Pointers tab.
  5. On the Customize section, click the Normal Selection cursor.
  6. Click on Search...
  7. Go to where you saved your cursor file and choose it.
  8. Press Apply.

There you go! That's all there is to it. If you want to go back to the regular cursor, follow the same steps, except on #6 you click on Use Defaults instead, and skip #7. There is a problem with the cursor on Pikmin Wiki though, it will be shrunken down by Windows itself. If you don't mind that size, all the better, otherwise, you might have to ask the original creators of the cursor to create a new one, that's smaller by nature, so that it looks better. If you have any doubts, ask them here! — {EspyoT} 18:42, 24 August 2014 (EDT)
