I totally agree with you guys. Its the 1st time I tried using rwcrusor's drop shadow. The hotspot moves only 4 diagonal px if i remember right. that's what, 1/18th of an inch? I thought that part is pretty good, but I appreciate input and ideas about it, maybe there should be a discussion on moving hotspots since until recently i didnt even think of it it (or mostly just ignored the possibility) would be good to know how others feel about it. Any how Its a start huh? Im thining on going with the transparency thing...
Oh and thank you for the generous votes. Id go with about 2.5 - 3 stars myself but this was just a feel-out for the actual cursors im working on. Gimme about a week rofl..

There is nothing wrong with moving hot spots. Visually, it is the same as moving the whole picture, but you effectively have more space. Regarding the shadow, it would be better, if it were smaller - either the shadow or the pointer so that they can both fit into the available space.

yeah, its been a while now and im still working out the balance between drop shadow and size (which is the quality and detail of the pointer) and moving hotspots around is not the way to move the cursors, it is more complicated than just making the pointer move when being made. Im getting better at it though, check out some of my new sets

3.5 out of 5 stars.

Needs more cursors. Moving hotspots is not a good idea. However, you had a good idea. I think you should try to improve these cursors, not make new ones! 3.5 stars for a great idea!!

3.5 out of 5 stars.

Before I saw them here, just in the display image, I would have rated them much lower. The animations actually make the cursors in this set! Great animations!
The green helps me accept the shade of purple and the glow effect I was not so pleased with before viewing them in action, lol!

yeah, I agree with Vlasta. Should not cutoff your shadow/blur.

Very nice set overall! Maybe you want to fix the slight problem and resubmit for higher ratings. Let me know if you do.
