thanx VERY much for these cursors. i love them.

i also like that you made the suggested change about how the cursor moves a few pixels when loading. i'm not worried about anyone walking in behind me but i do find it annoy when i leave my mouse over a link while loading and then the cursor skips to another spot. fixing that may seem small but it's big to me.

beautiful icons. thanx again!! :laugh:

*Updated* Added the aquablob working in background to the cursorxp set.

now I'm taking a break ;)

Chris

Are the "working in background" and "busy" cursors reversed in the CursorXP set? When I try to substitute the aquablob for them, it doesn't work right. :wacko:

did you read the readme?

you have to set the frame count to 15 for the aquablob cursor to work in the CursorXP set.

Instructions are in minute detail in the readme ;)

I also have the problem where the cursors get all jagged and black around the borders when you drag/drop icons in explorer/desktop. I'm pretty sure this is a cursor-specific problem, even though XP does seem to have problems with alpha-blending in general (e.g., when dragging an icon from desktop into an application, the icon stays overlayed in the frame buffer until you go back and drag another icon to undo it).

Same here, but then again, I guess everybody would have that problem.

I'm not getting the black things at all :blink: and I'm not running any extra programs... But I have seen screenshots. It most likely has to do with XP not supporting alphablended cursors properly, in which case it cant be fixed :(

Are any of you running ANY extra programs that would affect XP's alphablending? i.e. y'z shadow, windowfx, or any transparency programs? It also might be a graphics driver issue. Are you guys having issues by any chance using nvidia gfx cards?

      I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.

      CPPC states can also be messed around with in most UEFI settings but aren't as robust as the ones that the Windows Scheduler can provide! Make sure you look into what your motherboard also has before customizing for the Windows Scheduler.
