Great cursors, I love them, only one problem. The i cursor for selecting and editing text has a white border to the right of it. Not sure if it's like that naturally, but it bugs me. Any way to get rid of it?

cheers..it's been a while since I have seen a good looking curosors on windows!

one thing I didnt like in the zip file was the installer...you didnt include .inf file to install the cursors. :ninja:

so I made one :D

copy and paste this into a text file and rename it [something].inf

also add an empty readme file to let the installation go fine :cool:

You can rip the animation out of the black cursors on my bluecurve site. It is the exact same animation.

Glad to see that my animations "reborn" !!!

:woot: :woot: :woot:

Stupid question: How do I install these ??? unsure.gif

Get the code from a page earlier. Make a file called install.inf, copy the code into it and a empty readme.txt.

Add all the files from the zip and these two together. Right-click install.inf, choose install and then voila. Just select them from the opened menu.

Great cursors btw. Any possibility that you add these two files to your zip-file?

The vertical resize cursor is a bit screwed up. It is missing some pixels on the left side for example.

Anyways there is a reason why I never supply alpha blended cursors with anything.

The thing is that Windows doesn't handle alpha blended cursors very well.

As soon as you start dragging an icon for example the alpha blended part turns in to an ugly black border.

This is what I mean:

any1 found a fix for this problem?

i'm running Radeon 8500, Cat 4.6
