Good set of mouse cursors slightly larger than extra large

[Guest r]

I recently upgraded to a 1600 x 1200 monitor and discovered that

my mouse cursors were bit small.

 

I tried the extra large cursors but they were less than ideal.

 

Searching on the net I found some free cursors at

http://qjc.cjb.net/ that were pretty good. The set included

some following basic shapes of the windows set but bolder and

much easier to see. They were just right for my purposes.

Interesting. Occasionally people post links to some "greatest

since sliced bread" cursors but they're almost always just the

MS crap with different colors. I see this guy actually did what

needed to be done.

 

I say interesting because I made my own arrow cursor a long time

ago since I consider the stupid Windows arrow totally

unacceptable (for one thing, it is not even symmetrical). My

arrow is partially transparent, I dare say considerably more

elegant that this guy's, while about the same size, and blinks

when in "wait" mode. I consider all other cursors largely

irrelevant. (After 15 years with Windows I have YET to see the

"pen" cursor activate.)

Hmm, your tags are .... ah well ...

 

So the link checks good then, great, we are getting older and may need

those LARGE icons some day... did you download them and check for safety?

Huh?

Why should I? I just told you I made my own, and they look

better. It was just a comment made in a moment of boredom.

Anyway, WHY do people always think there's GOT to be malware

everywhere?

 

YOUR "newsreader" is the single most dangerous piece of software

ever written.
