Hi,

I just found out a way to make XP's own alphablended cursors, (smooth and shadowed rainbow of death) so without further adieu :

OS X Cursors for Windows XP

I'm sure most of you know how to change your cursors by now, but in case you dont:

1. Open up Control Panel
2. Select Mouse Properties
3. Select "Pointer" tab
4. Select the cursor you want to change from the list
5. Click "Browse" and search for where ever you extracted the cursors too
6. Select the cursor you want (they are all named accordingly) Hit open, and repeat.

Enjoy!

Oh and as a cool side note. These Cursors dont affect java or quicktime, no erratic flashing!

awesome cursors!!!!!!

I have a little request, if you don't mind

Would it possible to move the WorkinginBackground.ani cursor to the top leftmost pixel, where the "hot spot" is currently located? As it is right now, the cursor is about 2 pixels below and to the right of the hotspot. Not a big deal, except that when changing from standard cursor to working in background, there is a 2 pixel shift in the location of the cursor on the screen. Again, not a huge problem, except that if you had the cursor on a particular button (for example, the Close button in IE, while viewing a questionable website while your wife was home) and you were patiently waiting for the page to finish loading (workinginbackground.ani) and then as soon as the page finishes loading (back to NormalSelect.cur) it jumps two pixels (off IE's Close button) ... Well, sometimes this can be a problem. Instead of the cursor being on the Close button, it is suddently on the Maximise button because it shifted two pixels from workinginbackground.ani to NormalSelect.cur ...

Anyway, if you could move the .ani over and up a couple of pixels, to where the hotspot is, that would be awesome. I would do it myself except that GIF Movie Gear doesn't handle transparencies in .ani's, and neither does Animator (MA5.5) ...

thanks a million, I hate to pick on little trivial things but I really dig on these cursors and would LOVE them to be absolutely perfect ... (IMO)

Great work!

How did you make them? I tried to load them using Microangelo but they don't load. What editor did you use?

Very nice work! Much better than the ones included with Iceman's Jaguar theme.
