# Bibata Cursor
[](https://github.com/ful1e5/Bibata_Cursor/actions/workflows/build.yml)
TLDR; This cursor set is a masterpiece of cursors available on the internet,
hand-designed by [Abdulkaiz Khatri](https://twitter.com/ful1e5).
Bibata is an open source, compact, and material designed cursor set that aims
to improve the cursor experience for users. It is one of the most popular cursor sets
in the Linux community and is now available for free on Windows as well, with multiple color
and size options. Its goal is to offer personalized cursors to users.
#### What does "Bibata" mean?
The sweetest word I ever spoke was "BI-Buh," which, coincidentally, is also the word for peanuts.
To make it more pronounceable and not sound like a baby's words, I added the suffix "Ta."
And with that, my journey in the world of open source began.
## Notes
- All cursor's SVG files are found in [svg](./svg) directory or you can also find them on
[Figma](https://www.figma.com/file/Y9RKZLXhSvaxpUzsKGJkp6/Bibata-Cursor?node-id=0%3A1).
- This repository is now synchronized with the [bibata](https://www.bibata.live) project,
which has become the new mainstream for acquiring new features and updates.
I recommend downloading from there. However, this repository is still periodically maintained
to ensure its relevance and usability for [linux packages](#packages).

## Build From Source
### Prerequisites
- Python version 3.7 or higher
- [clickgen](https://github.com/ful1e5/clickgen)>=2.1.8 (`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/Bibata_Cursor`
3. `cd Bibata_Cursor`
4. `yarn install`
5. `yarn generate`
6. See [Installing Bibata Cursor](#installing-bibata-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 Bibata
[https://bibata.live](https://bibata.live) simplifies the personalization of cursor themes, making it easy and accessible for users.
With bibata, you can enhance your cursor experience effortlessly. Best of all, it's available for free, allowing you to
enjoy a customized bibata cursor theme tailored to your preferences.
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/Bibata-Modern-Ice' -n 'Bibata-Modern-Ice' -c 'White and rounded egde bibata cusors with size 16'
```
You can also customize output directory with `-o` option:
```bash
ctgen build.toml -s 16 -p windows -d 'bitmaps/Bibata-Modern-Ice' -o 'out' -n 'Bibata-Modern-Ice' -c 'White and rounded egde Bibata cursors with size 16'
```
##### Customize XCursor size
To build XCursor with size `16`:
```bash
ctgen build.toml -s 16 -p x11 -d 'bitmaps/Bibata-Modern-Ice' -n 'Bibata-Modern-Ice' -c 'White and rounded egde Bibata cursors with size 16'
```
You can also assign multiple sizes to `ctgen` for XCursors build:
```bash
ctgen build.toml -s 16 18 24 32 -p x11 -d 'bitmaps/Bibata-Modern-Ice' -n 'Bibata-Modern-Ice' -c 'Custom white and rounded egde Bibata cursors'
```
#### Examples
Lets generate Bibata-Modern with green and black colors:
```bash
npx cbmp -d 'svg/modern' -o 'bitmaps/Bibata-Hacker' -bc '#00FE00' -oc '#000000'
```
After rendering custom color you have to build cursor through `ctgen`:
```bash
ctgen build.toml -d 'bitmaps/Bibata-Hacker' -n 'Bibata-Hacker' -c 'Green and Black Bibata cursors.'
```
Afterwards, Generated theme can be found in the `themes` directory.
###### Bibata Gruvbox
```bash
npx cbmp -d 'svg/original' -o 'bitmaps/Bibata-Gruvbox' -bc '#282828' -oc '#EBDBB2' -wc '#000000'

## 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)
