#### Notes ### Prerequisites
- BreezeX build configuration and cursor hotspot settings are bundled in the `build.toml` file. - Python version 3.7 or higher
- Check out the scripts section in [package.json](./package.json) to see how we build the cursor theme, - [clickgen](https://github.com/ful1e5/clickgen)>=2.2.5 (`pip install clickgen`)
excluding the render scripts. They are useful for converting `.svg` files to `.png` files. - [yarn](https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn)
- yarn is optional, For building XCursors and Windows cursors from `.png` files or resizing them
you don't need that. If you want to develop/modify BreezeX's colors, and bitmaps, or generate a png
file from a svg, Then you can use yarn because bitmapper is written in TypeScript.
- Since BreezeX variants are designed similarly, they share the same hotspot settings so a
single configuration file `build.toml` is responsible for building all variants. Due to this, you will have
to change the following options in `ctgen` to build the appropriate variant:
- **-d**: bitmaps directory
- **-n**: The name you want to give to the generated theme.
- **-c**: Theme comment.
- See `ctgen --help` for all available options.

First make sure you installed the [build prerequisites](#build-prerequisites). - [cbmp](https://github.com/ful1e5/cbmp): Used for customizing colors and generating PNG files.
Now that you have the dependencies, you can try build individual themes from bitmaps and - [ctgen](https://github.com/ful1e5/clickgen): Used for customizing sizes and building XCursor and Windows Cursors.
customize sizes, target platform, and etc. with the `ctgen` CLI (packed with `clickgen`).
#### `yarn build` aberration You can refer to the README of each tool for more information on their command-line options.
Here are the default commands we used to build the BreezeX's variants and packed them into `yarn build`: #### Crafting Your BreezeX 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 ```bash
ctgen build.toml -d 'bitmaps/BreezeX-Dark' -n 'BreezeX-Dark' -c 'BreezeX Dark cursors.' npx cbmp [...] -bc '<hex>' -oc '<hex>' -wc '<hex>'
ctgen build.toml -d 'bitmaps/BreezeX-Light' -n 'BreezeX-Light' -c 'BreezeX Light cursors.'
ctgen build.toml -d 'bitmaps/BreezeX-Black' -n 'BreezeX-Black' -c 'BreezeX Black cursors.'
``` ```
Afterwards, the themes can be found in the `themes` directory. 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 Sizes
> **Note**
> You can change the cursor size up to 200 because pngs are rendered with 200x200.
> If the cursor is resized by more than rendered png size, the final cursor will be blurred.

#### Customize Colors
To customize BreezeX's color you have to install node dependencies with `yarn install` command.
After installing dependencies you can customize the colors via `npx cbmp` Node CLI App which packed with
[cbmp](https://github.com/ful1e5/cbmp) node package.

Here are the default commands we used for generating the BreezeX's bitmaps and packed them into `yarn render`:

## 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).
