3. Oreo Cursors

Oreo cursor pack has its own take on the design. The icon theme feels bulky and encompasses the different states of a cursor inside the cursor icon itself.

It comes with plenty of color options to choose from, however, I have included only one of the color variants in the picture below.

4. McMojave Cursors

If you are looking for an aesthetically designed custom cursor theme then go for the MacMojave cursor. This one resembles the macOS Mojave cursor theme, making it look as minimalist as possible.

Cursor pack doesn’t comes with any colour variants but with different themes it creates an illusion of being different.
