Jazz up your Windows mouse cursor

from WinCustomize Forums

CursorFX 2.0.008 has been released! CursorFX is a program that brings the Windows mouse cursor into the 21st century with fluid animation support, alpha blending, motion smoothing, cursor sizing, effects for different amount events and more.

CursorFX was designed to replace CursorXP. The initial roll-out of CursorFX was a little bumpy, demonstrating the challenges of developing a brand new desktop enhancement in a world divided between Windows XP and Windows Vista users.

Here's what's new in CursorFX:

- Fix for Powerpoint issue
- Fixes for slow/choppy cursor.
- Fixes for process priority.
- Fixes to solve crash on loading Control panel with some old cursors.
- Improved Control panel load time.
- Fix for CursorFX cursors disappearing on IconPackager apply.
- Fixed compatibility with some games and applications.
- Seamless support for CursorXP cursors.

I just dragged the .CurXPTheme files over into the new CursorFX\Themes directory using Windows Explorer. Don't know if that's the "best" way, but it seemed to work fine for me.

One note though, you might do a chunk of 10 or 20 first, then open up the CFX config window and see how it reacts at this point. If you drag like 500 themes or something over all at once, I'm not sure how it would react, might have to chew on them for awhile (or choke). On a previous version I did a chunk of 50 and it wasn't a problem.

Up until this update, whenever I'd download a new cursor set, it'd install it and ask me if I want to apply right away. Now it just installs and applies anyway without asking like CursorXP did. Why??? Being asked whether I want the new cursor applied was actually one of the best simple new features of CursorFX that I liked.

Before I just added FX to the downloaded zip file and all loaded nicely. Now XP opens the file but I can't get FX to store it in it's lib. What's the problem? I have FX Plus.

I have 2 big problems with CursorFX 2.0.008! :( 1. It will not let me restore my default Vista cursor. 2. When UAC pops up I can not move my cursor.
