entis cursors--black box when dragging

Anonymous

I've adopted the Entis cursors from DeviantArt (http://zhorak.deviantart.com/art/Entis-Cursors-58265625). The one problem is that when I drag using the arrow a black box appears around the cursor (presumably the box within which the cursor was constructed). Is there any way to use RWCE to eliminate the box? Thanks!

I have seen this problem before. Windows tries to modify the cursor when it adds the [+] sign, but it does not work correctly with 32-bit smooth cursors. You can somehow reduce the effects using RWCE, but you'll probably still see a thicker and not smooth outline instead of a box. Open the cursor in RWCE and then save it. If it does not help, select the image (Ctrl+A), cut it (Ctrl+X) and paste it back (Ctrl+V) and then save. You may also need to switch to a different cursor and then back to force Windows to reload the changed cursor.

Thank you! The trick turned out to be taking an arrow that was already working properly, stripping its image, and pasting the image that I wanted in its place. You are the greatest!
