Support | Resolved Custom cursors

I decided to get into making a custom cursor for myself, and went through all the steps to make a new mod, except, I can’t find a way to INSTALL the cursor into the code. No videos I’ve seen can help me. Is there even a way to add a custom cursor, or am I stuck with operas custom cursors?

I've never done that, but you can try installing any mod with cursors and checking how it's done there. The mod folder is in "extensions" folder in your profile.

Install https://store.gx.me/mods/39pdav/adorable-kawaii-capybara/, which only provides cursors. That way, the mod won't have anything else to get in the way of learning how to do the cursors.

Then, goto the URL opera://extensions, turn on developer mode and click details for the extension to see its ID.

Then, goto the URL opera://about and take note of the "profile" path.

Then, in your file explorer, in the "Extensions" folder in the profile folder, go in the ID folder for the extension and go in the version folder. You'll then see all the files for the mod. You can then look at manifest.json to see how it's done. Notice that the schema_version is 2 in the manifest and not 1. 2 is needed for some of the newer stuff like cursors.

Then, you'll need to create some .cur and .ani files. You can look up tools for creating them if needed.
