CursorWin7

When it comes down to computer customization, default features provide quite the variety of options alone, but bundling up specialized third-party applications can make the desktop feel like a completely different operating system all together. One minor tweak to consider is CursorWin7 in order to give the mouse pointer a swirly look and feel.

Note that this isn’t exactly a stand-alone product, and was specially built to be integrated into CursorFX, which needs to be installed on the target computer for this set of cursors to run. Integration is easy, and just like any other set, it can be saved, and applied right after preview.

With CursorFX running, a simple import does the trick to reveal the new cursor theme. There’s no need to access Windows default pointer configuration options, unless particular pointers need to be left untouched. On the other hand, the host application provides a wide variety of customization options for manual tweaking of hot spots, or even scripts.

Every pointer is fitted with a double-frame animation, which can be configured through CursorFX default options. Most of the pointers in use are changed, such as standard select, help select, working in background, busy, precision select, text select, handwriting, unavailable, move, resize, hand, button, without including special effects, trails, alternate select, as well as a few resize pointers.
