Thank you so much for the black aero cursors. I do have a request if you'd be so kind :) For more years than I can recall I have been using the attached cursor set. I have used these regardless of theme or style applied and I wanted to know if you could eliminate the the stem on the arrows like in th Argis cursors...the stem is driving me crazy but luv the aero ring animation! Thank you.

Here's an early Christmas gift -> Post #1 :)

Well, this is saddening. We've got a stuck thread with a whole bunch of great/awesome cursors, but none of the download links work.

:(

Right click on the preview and select "Save Target As..."

@ the rest: You're welcome :)

I don't have the time atm to create new sets but it's on my 2do list.

Thanks for those cursor sets, Herby. I woke up one day and discovered my entire cursor subdirectory was gone!... your cursors look and work great, and the subdirectoried installation means they don't interfere with 2000 and Xp cursors I transferred from my other computer. Installation was a little tricky, though. I discovered my computer doesn't recognize INFs if they're still inside the zipfile. To make matters worse I was working from a 32 MB memory key and I believe my computer was not quite sure where to attempt the installation. Extracting the files to the memory key did trick, though, and I haven't seen any problems with the animations. All in all a job well done.

Herby, long ago I have downloaded set of aeroblackshadow cursors (now I have just normal size), it is yours, but shaddows are different from that is posted in thread #1, so it is another set. Like it very much, thanks. Where is it now? I have changed "unavailable" cursors to my needs and am using normal size with large "unavailable", because it is "in line" with "busy" ring.

Please, have a look. What do you think? Thanks

Edit: Sorry, wrong file was attached, now fixed

- Thanx - Herby - INF files are fantastic - this solves a problem for me

P.S. Is there any way to create these INF files without editing them manually (I'd really like to install 6 sets of Mac OS X cursors (.cur) - automatically :cool:

Hi everybody,

thanks to Herby and netbox for nice cursors!

And there is my little contribution to this topic:

I've created small command line program for colorizing cursors. It can create almost any color theme from .ani 32x32 colored cursor (size is hardcoded, some color must be present in cursor file, not just grayscale).

Help and example is included. Tested on aero cursors by Herby and netbox only.

Enjoy!

I see these cursor sets still work in Windows 7, but did the standard Aero cursors receive any updates for 7 that could be applied to the custom sets? I myself really like the black "tail-less" set.

      For me, the fundamental problems with these "smartglasses" is that they really don't work well for people with significant prescriptions and massively up the price if you use attached lenses if they have displays, and if they don't, then they're not actually "smart" anything, rather just connecting to your phone and relaying voice to an AI. In a few cases like this, they throw in small cameras to feed video to the AI. All around, these feel like both a solution looking for a problem, and the problems it tries to solve seem more easily solved by different approaches and designs. Oddly, if the rumours are true, Apple may actually have invented something for once and it kind of does this right: put cameras in ear buds and manage the interface to AI exactly as most of us do: tapping on an ear bud and saying "Hey Google" or "Hey Siri." That makes them compatible with almost everyone, can double up as a hearing assist device, an impaired vision assist device, a "smart" device... and answer your phone and play music. That just seems like a better solution all around.

    • Valve will finally let you build your own Steam Machine with SteamOS for desktop

      By branfont · Posted

      If you don’t get lucky with Valve’s Steam Machine reservation system, you can make your own Steam Machine instead. Valve says that “starting with the SteamOS 3.8 release, you can put together your own Steam Machine using whatever PC parts you want.” SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with a slew of updates, including “improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms.” Alongside that improved compatibility, Valve is giving gamers the green light to install SteamOS on their own desktops. In an interview with The Verge, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve has been “rolling out improvements to [SteamOS] so it’s more compatible with desktop hardware,” including eventual support for Nvidia graphics. Griffais says Valve has “a growing team” working on Nvidia driver support for SteamOS, adding, “We’re collaborating with Nvidia very closely.” While he mentioned that Nvidia support might not come this year, Griffais emphasized that “it’s certainly something that we’re working on in the background.”     Subscription not needed: https://archive.fo/Tssfc Subscription needed: https://www.theverge.com/games/953411/valve-steamos-desktop-nvidia

      I thought they were supposed to reduce the amount of restarts needed to install these updates? It took 3 restarts to install this update...
