I have a feeling that this may be something to do with either Windows live messenger, or Avast Virus program. When I start up Windows ( 7 32bit) my cursor is skinned, but when Avast kicks in it goes back to unskinned cursor. The only way to get it back is to go to the taskbar, hover my mouse over live messenger taskbar button, and when the preview comes up, click it. The cursor becomes skinned again then......

Not sure if this is the same for everyone, but may be worth taking a look at. Hope this helps.....

"Current cursor does change to default when mousing over stuff."

Did you mean does NOT change to default?

update: nope still got quite some quirks as Daiwa mentioned, for example open up any given window maximize its height so it almost touches the taskbar,then move youre mouse cursor down the window bottom frame to the taskbar where it shows you the resize cursor and youll see itll switch to the default windows cursor for a sec ....

not to mention theres one more huge bug when i fullscreen minecraft i dont get a cursor but if i use my default windows cursor i can see it ...please fix that the same goes for when you right click the steam icon in notifications tray or play a steam game like half life 2 episode 1 etc  , id appreciate tons, seems to be a prob with java and fullscreen that cursorfx is having or java coding in general ?...peace

After a few days of working fine I now have a blank Cursor again in conjunction with intense use of Multiplicity. Please, both are YOUR apps...

the update is working good here

with an animated Cursor (X-fire) with a Trail and Left and Right Button Down Effects.

I have 80 installed out of 290

hentai345, you might want to check your attitude. I fail to understand how people think they can just get on these forums, show their asses, and expect to get good results.

Politeness goes a long way. We all get frustrated, but to say "I'm getting pissed off here" makes me laugh. Should we be worrying about that?   

 I know I'm afraid.  

Come on, get real. Half working software? They are minor bugs. I've used this software "for years" and I am pretty happy with it.

Going by your member number, you haven't been here "for years".

I don't think I can find a single thread you've been in that you haven't been complaining about something. If Stardock software is so bad, don't buy it.

OK, now you can jump my ass, as I know you will. 

redneckdude

i didnt imply that id jump someones ass..oh boy ...you really are a redneck  ... 

what i meant is that it pisses me off that such bugs still exist the software has been out for a long time now

ok , and i have been following these forums for a long time only cause i never saw the need to register doesnt mean i havent been an active reader here

and no nobody showing his ass im just trying to get these bugs fixed and waiting ..."politely" will not get you anywhere ive tried that already

p.s: yeah i know i...know wizard well maybe half-finished was abit harsh , well we shall see what the guys do about it

btw im usually the last person that bitches about bugs but this is important and id be the first to give the devs a thumbs up for a job well done ....once these get fixed, ok heres one for the windows desktop and taskbar bugs you fixed...

you should let me finish editing first redneck .......

btw they havent released as many updates as you may think for cursor fx ...what, the update before this one was when? 10 months ago? just saying

 we all know it isnt easy work but if i must beg i shall ...please fix the aforementioned bugs ,thanks to all devs for all the blood and sweat they put in and to stardock for making THE most awesome windows cursor replacer in da universe!!!

well me not so much since its with every steam game in fullscreen that uses windows cursors or the notification area steam icon´s right-click menu , or minecraft fullscreen and minecraft isnt steam  and thats unacceptable , as ive already explained

p.s: its still a cfx bug nonetheless sorry bro steam has nothing to do with it i dont have this with windows default cursors , and no this isnt acceptable exspecially if you cant navigate the menu then with an invisible cursor and no it isnt acceptable to just turn of cfx ...why do you think ive bought this software ..as a cursor replacer not to switch between my default and cfx every freakin hour, pardon my french 

yes , to me it is this is not the way cursor fx is supposed to work ok if youre happy with it then you may do youre ctrl+shift+c shortcut 50x a day ok or why dont you just uninstall it completely  , for the rest we will wait for the bugfix

p.s: you should read my comments before you reply

I guess I'm stuck in a Spockian logic/time conundrum 'cause I could swear it was your comment I was replying to.

The nature of what is perceived to be a 'bug' is that it is typically a conflict between 2 programs/services which between them BOTH cause an issue.

It may be that CFX cannot be changed to cater for what Steam and/or games within Steam are expecting as a cursor  other than through 'exclusion'.

Too often programs are simply NOT skinning-aware in that they do not/cannot cope or compensate for changed system modifications through the various skinning 'engines' that can be applied.  Eg. the occasional need to exclude an application from being skinned by Windowblinds because the application uses its own non-MS system 'skinning'.

So, yes "if appropriate" is correct.

The Backroom Boffins will likely deliver the definitive response, but at this stage it's "if appropriate"...
