Well, I hadn't done an icon change after reinstalling CFX. You're right. Mine does the same thing. The cursor changes back just as you are loading. Didn't have to reinstall, just re-apply. Thanks for catching that Duke.

Yea Angus, that's what mine does too. Maybe we will get some tips on how to fix the problem here in the forum, if not, I'll start a support ticket on Monday & probably get a response on Tues. If you want I'll PM you the results of my inquiry.

CFX Plus seems to have memory leaks.
Definition of memory leak here

1. Load up Harmony cursor basic (no effects, etc...), TM shows about 784k to start.
2. It goes up to 1400k in a couple of minutes with no movement of cursor.
3. 1hr later, TM shows CUrsorFX at 2,868k.

CXP kept Harmony cursor at around 784k or so all the time. No creep ups in RAM usage.

Also, change the colors on Harmony once, click apply and mem usage shots up to 3,344k and rising. Click 'reset' apply and the mem does not go back to 784k, it remains at the 3,348k.

In order to drop the RAM usage down to the original used by Harmony, double click on windows default cursor, wait a sec, then go back and load Harmony again. Back to a low level of RAM usage again. It will creep up over time though.

I have tested this out on various cursors and the pattern is the same. LightRing is the worst by far, sucking up over 14,000k of RAM. Wow!

As reported by Duke261 & angus1949, any changes made in IconPackager causes CursorFX to return to XP's default cursor. CursorFX must then be reinitialed to use a custom cursor set.

Actually, I'm experiencing several minor problems with CursorFX which I hope will be fixed in the near future.

still a no go for me. 50 % of CPU usage when using Hand theme for example. TabTip (Tablet PC input) and DWM are using up CPU. I have Tablet PC input running because of my pen tablet.

will try this again in a couple months. apparently there is a conflict and apparently nobody cares.

You're half right, anyway.

Hey Duke,
Sorry I hadn't replied but I've been down with the flu, and the last thing I wanted to do was be on the computer. I guess you've had no luck either. I've been experiencing another glitch off and on. Sometimes the cursor hides behind message boxes or close buttons. Once it starts I have to change cursors. I really like FX now that I've gotten more used to it, but these little problems need fixed. Also like fontinalis in #29, I too get memory leaks. Amount varies with cursor.
