So did Stardock buy CursorEX from Ricciosoft? Sure looks that way.

Great program! I've had it on my W2k machine for a while and I'm thrilled to be able to run it at home on XP.

The CursorXP Free version is yours for the asking to try out. We could not justify CursorXP as an ODNT component because its 2000/XP only and it falls into the pure eye-candy realm. There is a discount ($2) for ODNT customers who would like to order the Plus version.

I don't like to sound ignorant but why does this program take up so much RAM? According to my task manager even the most basic themes use more than 3MB while that Gears one takes almost 8MB!

Considering WindowBlinds only uses 2.8MB in it's present form this seem a touch, well, excessive

Not that I'm cheap (actually I am but that's not relevant to this comment), but the remark by Nakor on 12/15 doesn't exactly make sense. To a very large extent IconPackager, WindowBlinds, and WindowFX are "Pure Eye Candy". I have heard some examples of the "productivity enhancing" capabilities of this software, but they aren't at the core of what the applications do. I think that cursor transparency and click animation could be easily justified as productivity enhancing features in much the same way "always on top" and "roll up" have been justified for WindowBlinds. There is a very different business reason for placing the product outside of OD at play here. I wouldn't blame Alberto if he doesn't want to give his prior work away as an add-on to OD.

Dang. I probably just talked myself into buying it...
