SpongeBob Cursors

About the SpongeBob cursor collection

This SpongeBob cursor set is a small fan-made trio from Bikini Bottom, drawn as chibi stickers for Chrome. Squidward scowls as your normal pointer and swaps to his clarinet when you hover a link. Gary the Snail is caught mid-meow, with a little seashell on hover. Krabby Patty has no character at all: the burger is the cursor and a pink jellyfish takes over on links. Three packs, all free.

Why the SpongeBob set starts with the neighbours and the menu

SpongeBob and Patrick are not here yet, so the set leans on the supporting cast. Squidward works the till at the Krusty Krab and practises clarinet at home, badly, which is why the instrument is his hover image. Gary is SpongeBob's pet snail, who meows like a cat and is often the most sensible one in the pineapple. The Krabby Patty is the burger the whole town queues for, and its secret formula is what Plankton keeps trying to steal.

A clarinet, a seashell and a jellyfish on hover

Each hover image is something from the show and not a generic hand. A clarinet is long and thin, close to the shape of an ordinary arrow, so it is the most natural of the three over small links. Gary's seashell is angled up and to the left, the way a pointer sits. The pink jellyfish is the kind SpongeBob chases through Jellyfish Fields with a net, and it gives the burger pack a second splash of colour whenever you reach something clickable.

Which SpongeBob pack to pick

Krabby Patty is the simplest shape, a burger with no face to squint at, so choose it if you keep your cursor small. Squidward and Gary the Snail carry more detail and look better at medium or large, which you set with the slider in the popup. Gary the Snail is the soft one, with sparkly eyes and pastel shading. Squidward is for the grumpy days.

Where SpongeBob cursors work

You will see it on web pages in Chrome: the Encyclopedia SpongeBobia wiki, the Nickelodeon site, YouTube clips, Reddit meme threads and Paramount+ when you watch in a browser tab. It does not appear inside the Paramount+ app on a TV or phone, or in SpongeBob games such as Battle for Bikini Bottom on Steam or a console.
