Installation

Installation is simple. Just copy the cursors from this repo into C:\Windows\Cursors and then use the control panel to change the pointers.

But if you'd like to automate the process, here are two script options:

Option 1 - Git

# clone
git clone https://github.com/stevencohn/YellowCursors.git
Push-Location YellowCursors
# install
.\install.ps1
Pop-Location
# clean up
Remove-Item YellowCursors -Recurse -Force -Confirm:$False

Option 2 - Native PowerShell

# download
$src='https://github.com/stevencohn/YellowCursors/archive/master.zip'
$zip="${env:TEMP}\YellowCursors.zip"
$exp="${env:TEMP}\YellowCursors-master"
$ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $src -OutFile $zip
Expand-Archive -Path $zip -DestinationPath "${env:TEMP}\" -Force
Push-Location $exp

# install
.\install.ps1

# clean up
Pop-Location
Remove-Item $zip -Confirm:$False
Remove-Item $exp -Recurse -Force -Confirm:$False

As Administrator

Of course, run both of these as administrator.

Notice that install.ps1 forces a dynamic reload of cursors. This should work without requiring a logout/login or reboot.

Enjoy!

P.S. Yellow is (255,245,0)
