Topaz could be a nice name....what kinda name you looking for...?
Topaz sounds neat. I was really just looking for anything. Still lots to do of course, this is just an initial mock-up.

I like the shape...it's like a tear drop...with a nip and tuck....

I like it. It has a very soft,pleasant color. How about "Cool Blue" for a name?

Just take your time. It will be a good looking cursor.

Variety is the spice of life.
It's a shame that some folks can't complement a persons work without trashing someone else's work.

Variety is the spice of life.
Yes, it is.
It's also a shame when someone can't be open and honest about their own personal opinion without that comment being taken as "trash".

I don't think you'll have to worry about that, LOL. I haven't even thought of something for the "busy" state... much less how to even animate it! I might need some help later on with that stuff...

Feel free to PM me when you are ready, I'll help you any way I can.
For now here are some things to keep in mind when creating a cursor:
A busy cursor does not have to be animated but it must look different than the normal cursor so the user will know the computer is busy.
The text cursor must be thin enough to fit between the text. I've seen text cursors that stood two lines high and wide enough to cover three characters.
The precision cursor must be precise. If it does not come to a pin point it's non functional. Avoid big fat precision cursors.
The working in background cursor. Unlike the busy cursor, the user can still work while the computer is in this state. The working cursor must be able to point at things. It can't be flipping around, pointing ever which way.
.
Good Luck!

You left one out. The pointy end always goes in front.

i like the shape and the color looking forward to the finished product

It's a mater of choice, some people don't like animation(I do). I'm just saying if it's not animated it should not look exactly like the normal cursor.

Okay, so I did this mock up in Photoshop... am I gonna need another program to get it working as a cursor?
