Whats with the pregenerated shadows? I kept getting annoyed with the fatness of it so I made my own set, then made some animations.
Also, how did you antialias the edges of the icons? I had to manually blur the edges to get rid of the jaggies, but it looks like you anti-aliased it. How? BTW, I am using PhotoShop to do the initial fixup.
These icons are awesome! My laptop is all Starcrafted out.
I have a suggestion with the arrows and the text highlight cursor. The arrows should be moved to the left, and the text highlight cursor should be moved up. I found with the text cursor that it would appear about halfway through the text vertically and the bottom half would stick out below the text. If you look at the default cursors, you'll see that Microsoft has their text icon bumped upwards. The same thing goes with the arrows for dragging windows.
Haha I was just thinking about finish off my cursur set to see you have allready made advances on those XD I now have resizing arrows heh. Perfect full set, thanks again!
and also, just a small thing don't know if its possible to work around, but the link cursor is a little bit off from the tip of the hand, so when you try to hit a small X to close a window and things like that, it won't work until your mouse is slightly to the right (for me) of the X
ive done a little testing and the windows hand seems to be more precise. If you'd like i can post 2 screen shots later showing what i mean so you have an idea?
Here's my entire pack (color scheme for most icons is green and I will not change it because I would have to tint 30 different nonanimated cursors and RE-DO 27 different animated cursors).
There are 19 cursors (one for every windows cursor and some alternatives). Help, Link (plus two alternatives), Unavailable, Working (plus two alternatives), and Busy are animated (see a below for sample). All cursors come in large (generally 32 pixels), medium (generally 24 pixels), and small (generally 16 pixels) varieties.
EDIT: added Link V2 and V3, but its not in the pack yet. I'll finish this later.
EDIT2: Done! There are now three versions of Link and Working.
- Link - Link V2 - Link V3 - Working - Working V2 - Working V3 - Busy - Help - Unavailable
hmm... i really like the red ones ^w^ but hey... you dont think you chould make a bright tip red one? o.o cause that's probably the only one i'm missing now xD but otherwise i love the cursors ^w^ nice job! xD
Nice set, only one issue I found. With the teal resize set, it's very off when trying to resize a window. Also, could you make a blue hand link cursor?
EDIT: Also, your blue text cursor is kinda off to. Typically, the point is in the center, but this looks like it's at the top, which make selecting text difficult.
Thats what i was talking about. the only cursor that is right on seems to be the normal and busy, the other ones are slightly off including text being oriented towards the top and the link cursor seems to be centered a bit to the left
You've done great job. It's so good to have such cursor not only in game, but could you do something with them to make them similar to original cursors with their physics now its hard to use some of them like this when u write a text like this. I must click it in a different way to do exactly what i want to do. Cursors which are used to manipulate how window is small or big are not good made too because center of arrow should be in edge of window not out of edge.
Thank you for this cursor and i hope you can make them better and do all new amazing styles of them.
P.S. Sorry for my NOT-THE-BEST(:D) english.

I keep telling everyone on IRC Photoshop is Garbage... People don't like it when I say that.
Nice animations btw.

Keep up the good work though, this is fun stuff.

Any time!
Think you could do a red protoss + the busy for it? (:

@drummerboy1151: Go
Its in the same position as the regular windows hand. As for the red protoss cursor. I will have to do that tomorrow.
ive done a little testing and the windows hand seems to be more precise. If you'd like i can post 2 screen shots later showing what i mean so you have an idea?
gahh screen shots don't capture the mouse ><

Fixed centering on color burst cursor. Thanks for pointing it out.

These are awesome. I'm working on some X11 conversions right now, so more people can use them.

Coupled with a high resolution screen shot with the game and my task bar on minimized? It always looks like I'm playing SC2 O.o
Warning: These cursors have a l33t hack that makes user have SC2 gaming impulses. In other words; these cursors are Bad Ass for my SC2 themed desktop.
