What is a .cur file?
A cursor file (.cur) is a Windows mouse-pointer image using the same container structure as an .ico, distinguished by a type field and per-image hotspot coordinates that mark the cursor's active point. It holds one or more bitmap images at different sizes, typically 32×32.
How to use this file
Use an example .cur file to test cursor and icon parsers, CSS custom-cursor loading, and ICO/CUR converters, or to verify that a tool reads the embedded hotspot correctly.
How to use this file for testing
“Arrow cursor (.cur, hotspot 0,0)” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Web assets. Favicons, web app manifests, service workers, robots and sitemap files, Open Graph images, and .well-known resources — for testing web tooling, crawlers, PWA installers, and asset pipelines.
Documented properties for this file: 32-bit · CUR (ICO-family). Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.
Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such — expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.
Web-platform fixtures are standards-compliant samples against fictional example.com data. Test crawlers, PWA installers and manifest validators, favicon/icon pipelines, service-worker registration, or .well-known parsers against the documented structure.
