r5 (source label, not a DeskSpruce test version)

## Appearance and choice

This Capitaine fork collects the original pointer style with Gruvbox, Nord and Palenight variants. It is useful when you want a coordinated pointer family to match an existing color scheme, without treating each recolor as another download page.

The README provides a preview for each named variant and distinguishes its Windows.zip from Linux.zip. It also separates installation guidance for 100% display scaling and 150% or higher. That distinction is a reason to read the package documentation before selecting a size, not evidence that all display scales were tested here.

## Before changing your pointers

The release asset is a Windows ZIP. The release and README identify the intended platform, but the exact Windows version, high-DPI behavior on your display and package contents have not been independently validated. The original design and the fork have separate credits.

Extract the ZIP to a folder you can keep. If it supplies .cur or .ani pointer files, use the Windows Pointers dialog to browse for the file for each role, and save a named scheme. A ZIP is a container, .cur is a cursor file and .ani is an animated cursor file; an .inf is configuration, not a preview. Do not run unfamiliar installers merely to inspect the set. See [the manual Windows cursor guide](https://deskspruce.com/guides/change-windows-cursors/) for the documented selection and restore path.
