RealWorld Cursor Manager preview available

Published by about 21 hours ago.

A preview version of the RealWorld Cursor Manager is now available in the Microsoft Store. This is an initial test run, so the app is not publicly searchable yet. You'll need to use a direct link to access it:

Feel free to install it and report any errors or suggestions for changes.

At this point, the website is not yet updated to include buttons for applying cursor sets via the application. That part is expected in about a month, together with an updated version of the tool (depending on the feedback from this preview).

If you want to try this functionality already, you can do so manually. Press Windows + R to open the Run dialog and enter for example:

rw-cursor:apply-set?id=discrete

This will download my Discrete cursor set. Then just click Apply all in the application and the cursors will be activated. You can replace discrete with the ID of any other cursor set.

Alternatively, you can download a .zip file with a cursor scheme and either drag and drop it onto the main window of the manager, or right-click it and select Apply scheme. (Due to how Windows 11 works, you may need to open the context menu a second time if the option does not appear the first time.)

This preview is mainly about testing the workflow and identifying issues before the wider release.

Will the released build (or does it currently) run on Windows 7? Right now, this is my only gaming PC I have, which is a Linux build, and my Windows 7 laptop with 2GB of RAM, so I can't really test this out.

probably not, but the original cursor changer should work on Windows 7 fine - by Vlasta about 9 hours ago
You may be able to Update that Windows 7 laptop to Windows 10 as 2GB of Memory is enough for Windows 10 So long as you meet all of the other Windows 10 system requirements. - by The Male Boss about 4 hours ago
