- Description
- The Sun Icon/Cursor file type is a graphical representation used primarily within user interface design to depict a cursor or pointer with a sun-like appearance. This icon is often utilized in themes, applications, or operating systems where a unique or visually appealing cursor is needed, especially in contexts related to light, energy, or weather themes. The design of the sun cursor can vary, featuring rays of light or a stylized sun shape to enhance its visual appeal and user interaction experience. It is typically stored in a format that supports transparency and varying levels of detail, such as .CUR or .ANI for Windows environments, to seamlessly integrate with the system's cursor functionality.
- A GIF file is an image file often used for web graphics. It may contain up to 256 indexed colors with a color palette that may be a predefined set of colors or may be adapted to the colors in the image. GIF files are saved in a lossless format, meaning the clarity of the image is not compromised with GIF compression.
