CursorFX officially released!
The successor to CursorXP
Tuesday, February 5, 2008 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Stardock is pleased to announce the official release of CursorFX. CursorFX is a free program that allows users to customize their mouse cursors in ways far beyond what Windows is capable of doing on its own.
The default Windows mouse cursor technology is the same today as it was in 1993 when Windows NT 3.1 was released. It lacks functionality and visual effects that are easily possible with any remotely modern PC.
CursorFX updates the Windows mouse cursor engine to support fluid animations, alpha blending, effects, real-time shadowing, user-action mouse states, mouse cursor resizing on the fly, color changing, trails, and much more.
CursorFX is a replacement to CursorXP which only ran on Windows XP. CursorFX runs on Windows XP and Windows Vista and includes dozens of new features and tweaks over CursorXP.
A gallery for CursorFX cursor themes is available on WinCustomize.com to download hundreds of free mouse cursors, trails, effects, and more.
CursorFX is a free program. A plus version is available for $19.95 that adds more features. To learn more and to download, visit www.cursorfx.com.

+1, excellent program.
+2... custom cursors are simply win. (Except now more so with the new release.)

If you've purchased CFX+, it should show up under the miscellaneous tab. I don't think the free version shows in SDC at all.

I downloaded the free version from the above address but it is named "CursorFX_preview.exe".
Does this mean it is still a beta or is this the final release?

It should say CursorFX_public.exe.

WWW Link
Time to me to uninstall and reinstall.
Interesting thing...the comparison chart says the curser can be of unlimited size in both versions but you can only resize your curser in the pro version.

just installed this and I think I found a bug. when used while Tablet PC Input Panel is running (I am using a pen tablet for Photoshoping), the CPU goes up a couple notches (25% for DWM and 25% for Tablet Panel) and my fan is pretty loud. As soon as I disable any special cursors the CPU goes back to normal.
hope this is abnormal and works fine for others.
