## Build From Source
### Prerequisites
- Python version 3.7 or higher
- [clickgen](https://github.com/ful1e5/clickgen)>=2.2.2 (`pip install clickgen`)
- [yarn](https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn)
### Quick start
1. Install [build prerequisites](#prerequisites) on your system
2. `git clone https://github.com/ful1e5/apple_cursor`
3. `cd apple_cursor`
4. `yarn install`
5. `yarn generate`
6. See [Installing Apple Cursor](#installing-apple-cursor).
### Getting Started
Once you have the [build prerequisites](#prerequisites) installed, You can personalize colors,
customize sizes, change target platforms, and more. This process involves using external tools,
as this repository only contains SVG files and configuration for these tools:
- [cbmp](https://github.com/ful1e5/cbmp): Used for customizing colors and generating PNG files.
- [ctgen](https://github.com/ful1e5/clickgen): Used for customizing sizes and building XCursor and Windows Cursors.
You can refer to the README of each tool for more information on their command-line options.
#### Crafting Your Apple Cursor
The process of creating custom cursor themes involves two main steps:
1. Rendering SVG files to PNG files.
2. Building cursor themes from PNG files.
#### Customize Colors
`cbmp` provides three options for changing colors:
1. `-bc`: Base color, which replaces the `#00FF00` color in the SVG.
2. `-oc`: Outlined color, which replaces the `#0000FF` color in the SVG.
3. `-wc` (optional): Watch Background color, which replaces the `#FF0000` color in the SVG.
```bash
npx cbmp [...] -bc '' -oc '' -wc ''
```
Alternatively, you can provide a JSON configuration file to render SVG files, which contains a sequence of `cbmp` commands:
```bash
npx cbmp render.json
```
#### Customize Sizes
##### Customize Windows Cursor size
To build Windows cursor with size `16`:
```bash
ctgen build.toml -s 16 -p windows -d "bitmaps/macOS" -n "macOS" -c "macOS Cursors with size 16"
```
You can also customize output directory with `-o` option:
```bash
ctgen build.toml -s 16 -p windows -d "bitmaps/macOS" -o "out" -n "macOS" -c "macOS Cursors with size 16"
```
##### Customize XCursor size
To build XCursor with size `16`:
```bash
ctgen build.toml -s 16 -p x11 -d "bitmaps/macOS" -n "macOS" -c "macOS XCursors with size 16"
```
You can also assign multiple sizes to `ctgen` for XCursors build:
```bash
ctgen build.toml -s 16 24 32 -p x11 -d "bitmaps/macOS" -n "macOS" -c "Custom Sizes macOS XCursors"
```
#### Examples
Lets generate macOS cursor with green and black colors:
```bash
npx cbmp -d "svg" -o "bitmaps/macOS-Hacker" -bc "#00FE00" -oc "#000000"
```
After rendering custom color you have to build cursor through `ctgen`:
```bash
ctgen build.toml -d "bitmaps/macOS-Hacker" -n "macOS-Hacker" -c "Green and Black macOS cursors."
```
Afterwards, Generated theme can be found in the `themes` directory.
###### macOS Gruvbox
```bash
npx cbmp -d "svg" -o "bitmaps/macOS-Gruvbox" -bc "#282828" -oc "#EBDBB2" -wc "#000000"
ctgen build.toml -d "bitmaps/macOS-Gruvbox" -n "macOS-Gruvbox" -c "Groovy macOS cursors."
```
###### macOS Solarized Dark
```bash
npx cbmp -d "svg" -o "bitmaps/macOS-Solarized-Dark" -bc "#002b36" -oc "#839496" -wc "#000000"
ctgen build.toml -d "bitmaps/macOS-Solarized-Dark" -n "macOS-Solarized-Dark" -c "Solarized Dark macOS cursors."
```
###### macOS Solarized Light
```bash
npx cbmp -d "svg" -o "bitmaps/macOS-Solarized-Light" -bc "#839496" -oc "#002b36"
ctgen build.toml -d "bitmaps/macOS-Solarized-Light" -n "macOS-Solarized-Light" -c "Solarized Light macOS cursors."
```
###### macOS Dracula
```bash
npx cbmp -d "svg" -o "bitmaas/macOS-Dracula" -bc "#282a36" -oc "#f8f8f2"
ctgen build.toml -d "bitmaps/macOS-Dracula" -n "macOS-Dracula" -c "Dracula macOS cursors."
```
## Testing Cursor
There are several websites that allow you to test your cursor states by hovering over buttons. This can be very useful when developing or verifying the behavior of a cursor. The following websites cover many of the most commonly used cursors, although they may not include all available options.
- [Cursor-Test](https://vibhorjaiswal.github.io/Cursor-Test/)
- [Mozilla CSS Cursor](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/cursor)
For a blueprint for creating XCursors, you may also want to refer to [Cursor-demo](https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/Cursor+demo).
