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):

    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
