CursorFX loves you!

Jazz up your Windows mouse cursor

February 19, 2008 6:39:50 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize 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.

If you have CursorFx Plus use Stardock Central to download the latest version now.

Download Free version: www.cursorfx.com.

This update is great. It definitely made the cursors less choppy, still not perfect, but much better.

If I have CursorXP plus do I have to purchase the new CursorFX plus to use the advanced features or is it retroactive and I get the newer one? If anyone knows please send me a note to jaidaksghost@bellsouth.net - thx in advance.

Yes, the choppy cursor movement is much improved, thanks very much, but I'm still getting the problem of the cursor becoming invisible when trying to apply a different theme or changed settings.

Ugh.  But I guess it'd be nice to have the option.

Yeah, it is nice. Quick and convenient way of switching between themes. I use mine with CursorXP all the time.

33 seconds on my PC to be exact. I can fire up Adobe Photoshop several times in 33 secs, which makes CursorFX the slowest program on my computer to start. That, in addition to known and reportetd bugs, makes me stick with the ole' CursorXp a lil' longer.

I am upset. It doesn't love me. I have written about this three times now, but apparently nobody cares. It doesn't love me, therefore it has nothing to do on my PC. still a memory conflict with TabTip.exe when you have a pen tablet installed on Vista. uses up more than 50% CPU (TabTip.exe and dwm.exe). A no go, at least for me. I can't believe I am the only one trying to run this with pen tablet. Could at least somebody try to verify this? sad

CFX control panel loads in a dash under 6 seconds on my machine. That's fresh from boot (no cache cheating) on a P4/2.8 running WinXPHome, certainly nothing hot, with 115 objects in the Themes directory. Ya I'm happy with that.

Don't know where a 33 second load time would come from?
