Where do I find these mouse pointers?

Post by 357mag »

I'd like to add a bit of color to the default mouse pointers that Windows uses. I've uploaded a screenshot so you can see what pointers I'm referring to. But I've looked in the Windows -> Cursors folder and all I see are entries that begin with the word Aero. I do not like Aero Glass.

I'm looking for the flat white mouse pointers as shown in the screenshot:

I can't seem to open the cursors. And I have the .cur file associated with PSP.

I had no problem in dragging a .cur file from the Cursors folder onto the workspace in PSP 2018. Except for the aero ones. they don't load. What PSP version do you have?

I've got PSP X9. I haven't tried the dragging and dropping approach though. I'll try it.

I'm actually surprised PSP can open any of the cur files. Technically it's only opening the first of the 5 images stored in the file and it won't properly save a .cur out. Like icons a .cur file tends to include several sizes of itself.

Tried the dragging method. It's not working either. The hell with it. I'll do some looking for different cursors on the Web.

As mentioned the cursors with aero are not recognised. Here are some of the ones I was able to drag onto PSP X9 workspace:

I was able to download a cursor set from the net and change the arrow to a green arrow, but I would not consider editing it in PSP.
