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:

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
