Stardock announced the next-generation version of its Windows® cursor customization application, CursorFX 4, today. With CursorFX, Windows users can instantly change their default mouse cursor on their computer with animated and themed cursor designs.

CursorFX makes it easy for Windows users to customize their mouse cursors by applying skins, shadows, motion trails, and sounds. Users can also import .PNG files into the CursorFX theme editor to create brand new cursors from scratch. 

The new version of CursorFX adds support for Windows 10 and high DPI monitors, several new cursor packs, and more. Thousands of additional cursors are also available for download on WinCustomize.com.

"We wanted to bring better cursor customization options to Windows 10 users," said Brad Wardell, CEO of Stardock. "CursorFX has a ton of options for animations, special effects, and sound effects, as well as a robust customization community filled with thousands of users around the world.” 

CursorFX 4 will be released soon to all users for $4.99. The beta version is available now for subscribers to Stardock's Windows enhancement suite, Object Desktop. Visit www.cursorfx.com to learn more.

RND, that is what I want - just a few - so I have something to test with.
My bad, Sean. Having a few rough days in a row here.  Sorry.

 

I'll get you some links and stuff very soon, today hopefully.

Sean, upon a hard count, it seems they are all there.  It sure didn't look like 500.

I thought I posted this but. the problem you had from at least version 2 (if not 1) is that if you use a mirrored cursor (I'm left handed and feels betters that way) you have to click about 1/2 inch to the right of any button. That is with any cursor in the default build. I haven't been able to get extra cursors to load so haven't been able to try it.

Having made a few rudimentary cursors, I think I can safely say that is because when making one, you set an X&Y "sweet spot."  Apparently flipping the cursor does not flip/move the sweet spot.

Good to see, along with SoundPackager update. Looking forward to the IconPackager update .

CursorFX Configuration UI on 4k Screen

Given what I'm reading here from the excellent feedback, as usual, from WC crew and the uptake of issues from the development team I will wait a little longer for more bugs to be fixed.

Given the opening by Tatiora "The new version of CursorFX adds support for Windows 10 and high DPI monitors..." the question I have is, does it fix the small size of the configuration window on 4k monitors? I know over at qHacks it was mentioned that some 'legacy' programs have the issue were the UI doesn't scale. I have a few like that. Sitting 12" to 18" from the screen (being 65 and an Australian I can switch between measurements) with the mouse on my knee is not ideal.

Hello,

I can confirm that If you have scaling applied on that monitor. CursorFX will scale accordingly.

It is my displeasure to report that after a few reboots, CFX4 is back to not showing previews for a bunch of cursors. They were there after deleting the preview folder, back to missing some now.  Still taking over 2 minutes to load, and locks up now and then, crashing upon click.

 

Going back to the oldie but goodie.

 

A thought....we used to have to run CFX in compat mode.  Is that something we need to do with 4?

I noticed this last week and bugged it - thank you for the report, however.

Do they exist in the preview folder?

Yes.  About half of the previews are missing from config but show in the directory.
