The first cursor scheme (Windows Aero) is the original cursor scheme from Windows Vista RTM (Build 6000).

I've added cross & text cursors (they don't exist in Vista) + cursor scheme installation files.

@ request: Black, Gold, Shadow & Tailless schemes. :)

Install: Extract the zip files, right click on the inf files and select Install.

The cursors are copied to the default cursor directory and the Cursor Scheme is generated automatically.

Open Mouse Properties (Control Panel), select the Pointers tab, select one of the Schemes and click on Apply.

Click on the Picture to Download.

I predict, this thread will close in about 30 seconds.
Why? :rolleyes: The cursors from an older build have been posted before without issue.

Herby, check the regular-sized "Working In Background" cursor for Windows Aero Shadowed. The halo hiccups as it spins.

I still get a 146k file that supposed to be 177k...
Dude, make sure you're downloading the cursors you want. There are two .zips posted; one is 146k and the other is 177k. Nothing is wrong with them; one version is shadowed the other is not.
Cant'open the file, it's saying "file corrupted can not open archive".

edit: I get a 146k file...

Try right click -> Save Target As... & extract with WinRar.

Working on it,.. :)

Great set. However, for the shadowed cursors, they don't look as sharp as your previous set (forgot where the thread was, but the file was called "AeroShadow2.zip") - in particular, the working background and busy halos. The shadows, in particular, don't have as much contrast compared to the Aero Shadow 2 cursors.

See the screenshot (bottom cursor is this set):

    • 256 times the quality of an audio cd? I think audio cd's sound good so even twice as good as that would be something.

    • The original word arts were far more awesome! With their own preconfigured fill patterns, 3D layout, etc, with options to fine-tune their size and colors as desired. I especially loved the ones circled below and still miss them from my primary school years: I frankly use them less these days 'cause the new one isn't as straightforward fine art as what we originally had, taking time and effort to get back to the same graphics quality as the original offered, which I simply don't have enough of for merely fine-tuning my presentation titles. Same with the built-in picarts selection. Bring back the original pre-configured options for word art then I'll be using them far more frequently in my presentations even today.
    • What didn't you understand about that was mainly referring to Google, Microsoft, etc. keeping your passwords. Password Management is a key service of Bitwarden and it's not going anywhere. In any case they do offer export to other Password management services, backup/download of passwords, and the already mentioned on-prem option. I don't agree with the OP to use the free option as it's better to be an actual customer IMO. They don't just don't delete accounts like the big tech companies with no recourse which was the main concern of this article. I was confused if the author was trying to sell this setup? It should be obvious to anyone reading this article this solution is overly complicated and overkill for most users.
