making a cursor 48 by 48 - RealWorld forums

i am trying to make a cursor 48 by 48, so, i go to real world cursor editor...i click on 'create new'...click 'new animated cursor'...custom size (48 by 48)...

but here's the problem...

i want the acutual cursor to be 48 by 48 but RWC editor scales the image to 32 by 32...

how would i make the acutual cursor 48 by 48 and not allow RWC to scale it to 32 by 32...

thanks for helping

The application does not rescale the cursor for you. You are seeing the cursor smaller in the test window, because Windows does it. Windows support 32x32 pixels only.

If you really want to have larger cursors you§ll need to install a tool like Cursor XP, that turns off the standard cursor and uses a custom image or animation instead.

where can i download cursor xp?

thank you for helping!

and i forgot...is it free?
if not, is there another free kind of program that does the same thing?

I believe it can be used for free, but some features are disabled.
