Left-Handed Cursors

from WinCustomize Forums
Hi there

It seems that 10% of the population are being ignored by Cursor Xp - are there any Left-Handed Cursors anywhere?? Or have I missed something?

Thanks!!

i did include lefthanded cursors in my Premium and Grounation sets. those are regular Windows cursors, so you don´t need CursorXP to use them.

CursorXP also has a "mirror cursors" option that will flip them around the other way for you.

MikeB314, I am glad you pointed that out. I myself never even noticed the option.
I had to look around for where it was though so I will add to your comment.
Click on the Option button in the bottom right hand corner (a new box will pop up), use the Preferences tab and check mirror cursors.
Boy, you learn something new every day.

Keila and MikeB314, I checked my preferences tab, but I do not see the mirror option. I am using cursorxp 1.31 and Win2000 pro.

Also, comparing with the manual, 3 tabs in the manual do not show for me. I just have cursorxp tab.

Seems like I am overlooking something simple, but I don't know what....

Edit: Nevermind.... I realized you guys were talking about cursor xp plus....

Wicked people. Wicked. Wicked. Wicked. Don't all of US lefties know that to be left handed is a no-no and makes us associates of the devil !?! I've gotton used to the discrimination. I say, no demand that all lefties unite to slay the evil right-handers and take over the world......never mind, to much trouble. Howerver Keilas right (I mean left) CursorXP does have a mirror option. I'll have to start using my left hand now. No. Yes. No. Left or Right. I'm so confused.

The thought of using my left hand to control the mouse frightens me (and I AM left handed). I guess I've just been so conditioned to use my right hand that I just simply wouldn't be able to function using my left. Truth be told, as add as it might sound....my left hand/arm is really uncoordinated anyway. >_<

I've used my right hand forever also. But it has always felt kind of wierd, gotta find a good mouse to use before I go left handed though. Kind of a pain.

Curses having to buy CursorXP Pro to flip the cursor. O well. It is kind of a pain having to use mouse right handed, but I don't know what I would do in FPS's with WASD and what-not.

Yeah, me too....in fact, I've never used a mouse in my left hand, nor scissors, screwdrivers or pliers. I'm lefthanded for everything else but these.

As for lefty cursors, well I never thought about it until now, as I've always known and been comfortable with the 'right' orientation.

Now the question is: would I be wholly lefthanded if righthanded manufacturers thought about us mollydukers (aust) and made lefthanded screwdrivers?

starkers .... I have a complete set of lefthanded screwdrivers. I could sell them to you cheap! (cheap for lefthanded screwdrivers that is) I also have a few lefthanded hammers...

If you're in need, I can let you have a whole set of left-handed allen wrenches...I picked them up by mistake and never got around to exchanging them.
