wow I'm surprised to see so many people liking this set, not many showed much enthusiasm with the CursorXP set, which is the same :blink: I dont know why, Cursor XP is a great program, uses lil memory, and has great effects. The Only drawbacks I could see with the cursorxp set was that java and quicktime didnt get along with it at all, and also that it would show up in screenshots no matter what. Anyways It's always good to have options!

adixx why would you want it smaller? :wacko: you shouldnt hardly ever see the busy cursor, the working in background should show up way more often. Then again I'm on a fast system, so maybe you will see it often :cry:

is there a certain place to keep these extracted files?

Well, you could just put them in your C:\WINDOWS\Cursors directory ...

I also added a "1" to each file name (for example "1 Alternate Select.cur", "1 Busy.ani" etc) so that these cursors show up first when I'm browsing for cursors through the Control Panel|Mouse process ...

Or you could put them in a folder within the cursors folder like %windir%\cursors\OS X\

I don't usually use osx theme stuff either. These are that nice. Very professional. Thanks a million.

I think the reason not many people showed that much enthusiasm is because why should we have to download another program just to get proffesional looking cursors. I would rather just use windows own mouse config to do the same. You don't get to change the shadow aspects of course and it isn't packaged as nicely as cursorxp is but it is already packaged wtih windows. Another thing, sure cursorxp is fast and small but it does have it's problems like you said.

Thanks again Binary!

Yes I made the one for Cursor XP too and released it here a few months back :)

I just updated that one too, to include the new work in background cursor.

Binary, if you'd like, I could host these cursors, and a few other files if need be. I've got almost unlimited bandwidth that's just askin' to be used. :D

It's ok, my ISP account is sustaining the load ;) Plus someone else host's my stuff, so it's ok. But thanks anyways :)

    • Microsoft employee behind AnduinOS releases more updates, here's how to upgrade

      By adrynalyne · Posted

      Needs to happen quicker IMO. Pretty dang sick of the same articles reworded five different ways and reposted. I’m sure some people like reading the typical MS tells you why Windows 11 is better article over and over or the minute by minute countdown on the EOL of Windows 10, but I’m not one of them.

    • Amarok 3.3 Beta 2 replaces Phonon API with GStreamer

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Amarok 3.3 Beta 2 replaces Phonon API with GStreamer by David Uzondu Audio players come and go, but one of the long-standing pack leaders is Amarok, a KDE project that has been around since 2003. This player was an essential application for anyone who ran a KDE 3 system, mostly because its interface was simple and did not get in your way. After spending some time in hibernation following the 2.x series, development has picked up again. Now we have version 3.3 Beta 2, bringing some changes under the hood. The most important of which is a complete overhaul of the audio engine. The developers have ditched the old Phonon multimedia framework on Qt6 and reworked everything to use GStreamer instead. The developers have also partially restored CUE sheet support, which is fantastic news for anyone who keeps albums as single audio files. ReplayGain logic has been improved to apply a default fallback value for tracks without loudness data, helping to even out the volume. Some work was also done to prevent potential database issues that could happen during library scans. This release also finalizes some major changes that were introduced in the first beta, as outlined below: Dropping support for Qt5 and KDE Frameworks 5 entirely. It is Qt6 from here on out. Updating the database character set to allow full UTF-8 values, which is great for international music collections. Fixing a year 2038 bug for dates stored in the database. Removing TagLib extras support, which affects RealMedia and Audible files. Now, before you rush off to install it, there are a couple of things to know. Because the first beta updated the database schema, downgrading from this beta back to an older version is not really possible unless you manually backed up your music library first. Also, if you are a big Last.fm user, its official library has not caught up with the Qt6 world yet. You will need a specific build from a repository like this one to get those features working for now. If you are feeling adventurous and want to try the new beta, you will probably have to build it yourself. For that, you can check out the project on GitLab for the source code and guidance. Some Linux distributions might also package the beta in their testing or unstable repositories, so it is worth a look there, too. You can grab the latest stable version of Amarok on Linux via FlatHub.

    • Microsoft lets you have extra year of Windows 10 updates for free

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      The ethical thing for MS to do (a foreign concept) would be to continue full support for WIndows-10; until WIndows-11 is stable and mature enough to be considered reliable. Give users the ability to get decent use out of hardware they have bought, that MS decided are no longer able to run WIndows-11.
