Here is the Windows XP 3D Green cursor set that I have found and fixed. This green cursor set for Windows XP was originally created by Microsoft himself and it was re-edited and colored by ADRI_34_YY on the RealWorld Designer website. There are 16 cursor roles in this full pack of Windows XP green cursors. I have discovered that some tweaks were needed to be done to fix and improve this cursor set because there were some abnormalities in the hotspots, animation frames of the hourglasses and the time frames of the hourglass cursors. I have also applied some deeper customization improvements to fix some of the cursors, which were the ones with the two spinning hourglass cursor roles. To see the detailed list of changes, tweaks, fixes and updates that I have done to those cursors, please thoroughly read all the information listed below:

Fixes and Improvements:

The Windows XP 3D Green cursor set has also undergone some fixes and improvements to its cursor roles containing the following errors. The Link Select cursor role hotspot fixed at 6, 0, which is now correct. Previously, 6, 1, was wrong, so I made this tiny adjustment. The Help Select cursor roles has also undergone some beneficial changes that made the cursor role appear completely green. That means that the black question mark now has a custom green effect, the same green gradient as with its parent mouse pointer cursor role. I have also added a black border to make the question mark symbol appear to have a border, rather than a borderless cursor. I have done exactly the same thing to fix the black Unavailable cursor role. I have tinted this black cursor with the same green gradient from its parent mouse pointer cursor role and copied and pasted some green pixels using the Fill Command from the Styles Menu on top of the application's Window. The Diagonal Resize 1 hotspot was set to 8, 8, which was a little off set, so I have fixed it to 7, 7, to make it perfect. I only accept absolute perfect hotspots. The Working In Background and Busy cursor role both have an extra cursor role on the first frame. It is an extra standalone frame that I have deleted because it adds a flaw to the animation. There are also other flaws noticeable to the animation of those two hourglass cursors. They are that one hotspot on the last frame is slightly off set, which makes a jump effect each time the animation plays on that particular frame. The third flaw is that the frame time is set to 5, 16, and 40. To make a perfect middle point, I set the animation time frame for all the animation frames to 15, which is absolutely perfect. The animation now plays flawlessly without the animation playing too fast or too slow, and without extreme speed ups and slowdowns in the animation. I aimed for perfection and absolute smoothness throughout the whole animation of both hourglass cursors. Both hourglass cursors have had their animation time frame throughout all animation frames changed to 15 rather than the average of 14 and 16 time frame. The frame time set to 15 has the perfect middle point speed between 14 and 16, which is adequate for those two hourglass cursor roles. Now everything has been updated with fixes to the hotspots, time frames, animation frames and also to the black cursors, which underwent a color refill tweak.

Nice fix in there, I have more colors also!! :-)

I know you have all the colors for Windows XP, but I preferred uploading only the green cursors instead and fixing the problem with the hotspots and more.

Hot spots??

The hotspot is the clickable crosshair of a cursor.

Yeah I know it but I was thinking of wrong cursor hotspot place

user icon RIDDLER registered user on January 30th

Just be very careful when positioning your cursor hotspots. Did you know that when you select all your cursor frames in an animated cursor for a particular resolution, you can set the hotspot for all the selected frames at the same time?

If you never done that, then give it a try. It will save you a lot of consuming time by selecting all your animation frames by pressing Ctrl+A to select all the animated frames, and then you can place your hotspot for the current cursor and current resolution by typing the correct cursor hotspot number.

For example, a 32x32 cursor, has a correct hotspot of 15, 15, and for a 48x48 cursor resolution, the correct hotspot is 23, 23, and for a 64x64 cursor size, the hotspot is 31, 31, respectively.

Hotspots:

32x32 - 15, 15

48x48 - 23, 23

64x64 - 31, 31

Hope that helps you out.

Thanks for the help, sometimes the cursors I do remake have the wrong hotspot and sometimes I don't remember to put it in the correct place!! :-)

user icon RIDDLER registered user on January 30th

Just think well and double check to see if all your cursor hotspots for all the resolutions you make are in the correct place. Each cursor type has its hotspots in its proper location according to the usage type of the cursor. Just remember that.

A better version of one of my cursors, a difference of mine this includes a better resolution but the animatons are a little bit less animated that is the unique thing I don't like personally, also is a very little more green than mine, also he did a great job!!
5/5 :-D

I hope that you have read the description on the second paragraph. There, I have stated all the fixes that I have made to improve this cursor set and I also fixed the broken animation problem with the two animated cursors with the hourglass cursor.

You are absolutely correct. This is a much better version than the one on your profile because I have fixed all the broken animations with both hourglass cursors.
