I have a question. I followed our esteemed collegue Boldyblock's instructions because i too had a bunch of .PNG files. However, there was no cursor xp on my "open with" list. I "browsed" to cursor xp on my comp, but when i tried to open the file to get the "generating cusor map" window thingee, it just shut off cursor xp. if i clicked on it again it started cursor xp back up, but with my old cursor set, and not this fine-looking one. any ideas what i'm doing wrong? awesome cusors, Tombalaci!

@ Ninjooo0: Sorry you don't like it. Well, not really. One bad out of ~1200 downloads is not bad, I would say. What would you have done to make it better?

@ Jack Beloved: Try the "renaming the file" method. Rename the file from "MagnifierDoneRight.zip" to "MagnifierDoneRight.CurXPTheme". That always works for me. Let me know how it goes.

@ Bob the beer dude: Heh, I'll try to make more jumbo sized cursors. The zip thing doesn't make sense because the .CurXPTheme files are already actually zip files. So they are in fact asking us to zip up a zipped up file. That only increases the size further.

And again, thanks to all of you (other than Ninjooo0) for liking and using this set.

Tombalachi, you are a genious. I was able to finally get your wonderful (if huge) cursor sets to work. I had to re-download the file and save it not as the winzip file but the .CurXPTheme file. I was trying to rename it after i had already downloaded it as a winzip file. I figured that that was what you meant in the first place. Thanks for the help and the great cursor set!

@ Jack Beloved: I'm glad it finally worked! Thanks for the wonderful words. I will try to upload a smaller version of this set (50%) as soon as possible. Then you can enjoy it better, hopefully.

Cheers...

I really like the Magnifier Cursors. Creative thinking and coding.

Is it possible to darken the cross-hairs to be able to see them better?

Thanks for all your kind words elzorro and FirstLedge.

The program is Paint Shop Pro 8 by Jasc software. The frame is a plugin effect called magnifier (surprise), but the reflection by the plugin was not what I wanted so I made them myself as a separate layer.

It is possible to darken the cross hairs but I'm not sure if I can find time to do it any time soon. I'll try, though...

Excellent work!!! Where can I find the PSP plugin for the lens effect?

Thanks, Klatuu Berada.

The PSP plugin actually comes with PSP 8. All you have to do is buy PSP 8. $90 something, and I'm pretty sure you can actually download it and start using immediately...

A very good idea. Do you have a smaller version as well?
Tombalaci
Comment #36 Monday, December 6, 2004 7:22 PM
Yes, the smaller is called the Minifier.
