CursorFX needing two "Applies" to . . apply
Tuesday, October 4, 2011 by ZubaZ | Discussion: OS Customization
Greetings.
I'm collecting data.
If, when you try to change cursors using CursorFX, you find that it takes two clicks of the Apply button to make the change I need to know.
What version of CursorFX are you using? Free or paid? Version #?
What operating system are you using? 32- or 64-bit?
Installed via Impulse or the Stardock store?
Thnkas!

Yes, but only with newer CFX cursors AND only if I apply one with one already applied.
(Applies instantly if going from a 'nekkid' cursor)
CFX Plus, paid. 2.05
Windows Vista, 64 bit
Installed from good ol' Impulse.

Always takes two clicks to apply. First click you get the Windows default, second click applies chosen cursor.

CursorFX on W7 Home 64. It takes two to change ![]()
I've stopped using it. My cursor grinds to a halt when Mailwasher is checking for mail. I had a support ticket on this but didn't get much of an answer. As Mailwasher is more important to me than CursorFX, off it went.

I see folks with the same OS and version of CFX that I have, but I'm not having the problem. Hmmm.
Not that I want to have the problem.

CFX Plus V2.05
XP Home 32 Bit
9 times out of 10 must apply twice, also when download a CursorFX file and open with CursorFX it very rarely applies, must open CursorFX to get cursor to apply.

I just installed CFX on Win7 64bit and I have the same issues with double apply to show cursor and after unloading i had NO CURSOR! I had to reboot and uninstall the software. I think this CFX issue has never been fixed or will be fixed anytime soon. Stardock seems to be working hard in more important stuff really needing the update. That is what I think. I might be wrong.

Free
Win7 64 bit
Most of the time it takes 2 attemps to apply.

The first "Apply" changes the cursor to the W7 default. The second "Apply" changes the cursor to the selected one.
W7 Pro SP1 x64
CursorFX Plus 2.05 installed from Impulse

Paid version 2.01. Win7 Pro 64bit.
Having same problem (takes 2 CTRL+SHIFT+C keystrokes for CFX to toggle) but also having a problem with CFX randomly switching back and forth from the CFX theme to Windows defaults. Can't see any pattern to it.
