Is Cursor XP the best skinning program ever?
Saturday, April 10, 2004 by joetheblow | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Maybe, maybe not, but its got some imaginary skins for it. I just looked at most of the skins in the library so I can add to my collection and I never saw so many different types of skins.
And I don't even have the full version of Cursor XP. I can't imagine what else I could have or other option that would make the cursors 'explode' with more styles.
I think if you are new to skinning trying out Cursor XP will help. You'll learn quickly how animations work as well as other stuff. (In my personal opinion)
Its pretty cool app and I am glad I have it. What does anyone else think about Cursor XP?

My ignorance exceed me sometimes
If you open SkinStudio and File => New => Skin from Template....there's an ObjectBar tab for creating an Empty Skin or using a Skin Template

For me using CursorXP not only has eye-candy but very practical reasons. With resolutions like 1280 or 1600 You will barely find a normal cursor that is not far too little (except for ugly system ones). No probs with CXP though.

I love CursorXP. The cursors are wonderful with or without CursorXP. It depends what my desktop looks like.

I still think Cursor XP out skins them all. Windowblinds might be the winner as far as want (or need.. I can't imagine my desktop without it) but as far as ease of skinning, its up there with difficult.
I am finding that the new WinAmp is easier to understand especially since I know somewhat about XML. I think there will be a point where it is pretty skinnable once you learn it but the learning curve is still somewhat steep.
Object Bar too is somewhat steep, but once you get it, all you have to adjust is the file settings.
But Cursor XP? WOW! Make a normal cursor, a crazy cursor, a magical hand, trees, birds, moving parts, explosions...
I can't have a circular Windowblinds (and I have tried) nor a animated hand. I am just saying it can be more artsy then most apps out there and easy to skin.
Its a nice way to start the skinning world too and for that, I think its a great app.
oh yeah... Quicknotes is around there too.
hmmmm... maybe I should rephrase Cursor XP into one of the best skinning program programs
