Absurd Mouse is a lightweight Windows utility built in Java that replaces your standard system pointers with a gigantic, customizable cursor. Utilizing the Win32 API via JNA, this tool provides a seamless, click-through overlay that tracks your mouse across the entire operating system.
Latest Release: v1.0.0
Easily adjust the cursor size from a standard pointer to an absurdly large 1000px icon.
Load any .png with a transparent background to use as your cursor. Includes an Adjustable Offset feature to ensure your "hotspot" stays perfectly aligned with the native click point.
- Ultimate Pointer Hiding: Globally hides all Windows cursor states, including the standard arrow, text I-beam, hand pointers, and loading icons.
- Precision Tracking: Implements high-performance global mouse hooks using JNativeHook for 1:1 movement accuracy.
- Auto-Trim Technology: Scans and crops transparent edges of custom images using alpha thresholding to maintain perfect cursor alignment.
- Manual Calibration: Includes X and Y offset sliders to fine-tune the "hotspot" for complex custom images.
- Safety First: Built-in JVM shutdown hooks and an emergency "Restore" button ensure your original Windows pointers are always recovered.
- Click-Through Overlay: The cursor window uses
WS_EX_TRANSPARENTstyles, allowing you to click through the giant cursor and interact with windows behind it.
Main.java: The configuration UI and controller for Win32 API interactions (SetSystemCursor,CreateCursor).CursorOverlay.java: The rendering engine responsible for the transparent JWindow and image processing.GlobalMouse.java: Handles native system hooks and configures the overlay for click-through behavior.
This application manipulates system-wide pointers. If the application crashes, your cursors might remain hidden. Use the "Restore Original Pointers" button or restart your computer to reset them to the default Windows theme.
