From this archive, copy the mouse cursor you would like to use into the uifolder for the ui that you are using . Inside the everquest root directory contains a folder named uifiles . This folder contains the custom ui folders . (Example: for duxa ../everquest/uifiles/duxaUI)

Rename the mouse cursor from size_mouse#_style#_COLOR_Custom_Cursor to Custom_Cursor (ensure it retains the .tga file format)

Example: If you would like to use the large mouse size and mouse cursor2 and style3 and color red, you would copy the large_mouse2_style3_RED_Custom_Cursor.tga from the /large/mouse2/style3/ folder from this archive to the ui folder for the ui that you use in ../everquest/uifiles/ . Then rename large_mouse2_style3_RED_Custom_Cursor.tga to Custom_Cursor.tga

-

Make a backup of EQUI_Animations.xml in the uifolder for the ui that you use .

Edit EQUI_Animations with a text editor .

Add the following code chunk on the first line after <Schema xmlns="EverQuestData" xmlns:dt="EverQuestDataTypes" />

<TextureInfo item = "Custom_Cursor.tga">
<Size>
<CX>256</CX>
<CY>256</CY>
</Size>
</TextureInfo>

Within the same document find/search for DefaultCursor **

Edit the existing code chunk for <Ui2DAnimation item="A_DefaultCursor"> and make the following changes:
<Texture>Custom_Cursor.tga</Texture>
<Location>
<X>0</X>
<Y>0</Y>
<Size>
<CX>see below*</CX> #large cursor = 51 , medium cursor = 36 , small cursor = 22
<CY>see below*</CY> #large cursor = 51 , medium cursor = 36 , small cursor = 22
<Hotspot>
<X>1</X>
<Y>1</Y>

* : If you use any large mouse cursor then you should use 51 and 51 . If you use any medium mouse cursor size then you should use 36 and 36 . If you use any small mouse cursor size then you should use 22 and 22 .

** : If your UI does not have this code chunk then you can add the following code chunk template below and edit it as described above .
