CursorFX is a free program that allows users to customize their mouse cursors in ways far beyond what Windows is capable of doing on its own. CursorFX is the replacement for CursorXP which only ran on Windows XP systems. CursorFX runs on both Windows Vista and XP, and updates the Windows mouse cursor engine to support fluid animations, alpha blending, effects, real-time shadowing, user-action mouse states, mouse cursor resizing on the fly, color changing, trails, and much more.

A gallery for CursorFX cursor themes is available on WinCustomize.com to download hundreds of free mouse cursors, trails, effects, and more. CursorFX is a free program, and a Plus version is available for $19.95 that adds more features.

Well some of the cursors and effects certainly look nice but, like most things that have the Stardock name on them, it creates more visual distraction without adding anything useful.

You mean like Galactic Civilizations I and II and now Sins of a Solar Empire?

No I meant their desktop customization software. I don't consider their range of games a distraction of any sort.

WindowBlinds is ok, but i see no point in beefing up my cursor...

For those thinking all the cursors are huge weird things ... I'm using a very very simple one atm (bluecrystal on CursorXP) which basically a smooth, curved and antialiased cursor with nice subtle blue effects.

Basically, there's something to suit every style.
