What happened to that cursor app?

What happened to that cursor app? General 50 posts Jan 22, 2003 — Feb 6, 2003
Swiz and Phoenix were hinting at some great cursor changing app, but I have yet to see a sign of it. Where is it? I'm very curious
Still on its way. Very close now.
Beachball would change cursors, wouldn't it? But for some reason I could never get Max's XP cursor to work...

I think the author of Beachball said that it would not work properly anymore under 10.2.3. I was using it, but have removed it. I love all these themes and the quality is just superb. Now all we're hoping for is something to change the cursors. Can't wait to try out swiz's cursor app.

How is it different from three other cursor softwares? Is it using a different way of replacing cursor or it's basically more features?

Just curious

Its got alot more features. Really its only relative to Beachball or the other cursor app in that it deals with cursors.

And for the record, its not my app, I have just test driven it for the developer.

Ditto. I also anxiously expecting to see what this apps turns out to be. Let's hope it comes soon.
I SWEAR its coming soon. I have promised to remain very vague. Sorry I mentioned it but I promise its very cool and theres nothing like it.
hey if it does wait cursors I came across a pretty good animation of the old hand one, it would be cool if it were included:

Havent heard anything in the past few days but I swear on my life it is not vaporware and it shouldnt be too much longer. Its kind of a collaboration of sorts so you know how that stuff goes but it really should be soon. Im not one of the collaborators for the record.

ROTFL. You are GOOD!
Now. Ittpoi is also part of it, right?
Swiz, I'm sorry. It wasn't nice of me to trick you into saying something you shouldn't say
But it was a bit fun Now we have unsanity + the note to developer implies that the developer browses the forums.. I say ITTPOI and Unsanity

It might be, it might not be. I'm sure you'll all be happy with it when it's released.

Great, just what I need. Another insider
Hmm. Maybe it's a Clich� - Unsanity collaboration... Interesting... Not! Whoever is making it, release the app!

I would assume that since it took so long to develop, it should be out fairly soon. Who knows, though...

A variety of systems were used, and of course, the bigger/more animated your cursors are, the more CPU it eats. It maxes out my dual-Ghz machine when using an animated 640x480 cursor Not that any of us would do it in "real life", though.

As for the release dates, "real soon now".
