Hi folks,

The long-awaited update to Mighty Mouse, our cursor customization and sharing haxie, is finally out.

What's new?

It is now possible to save previews of the currently installed cursors in the GIF format (either in one big image or in a series of small ones).
Changing resolutions or awaking a computer attached to multiple displays no longer removes customized cursors.
Cursor images are usually now premultiplied properly when necessary and unpremultiplied when separated into opaque and mask images.
Fixed inconsistencies in mask colors - white is always fully opaque, black is always fully transparent.
The Opaque and Mask image wells now indicate when they have keyboard focus.
It is now possible to change the hotspot for cursors that are larger than the Image and Mask wells.
The hotspot indicator is no longer one pixel away from its true position.
The hotspot for the default arrow is now in the correct position.
The arrow keys can now be used to move the cursor hotspot.
Fixed a bug that disabled cursors that contained no transparent areas.
Mighty Mouse no longer utilizes the CPU to animate images when the System Preferences window has been minimized, or when a sheet is being shown.
Changing the Frame Duration; moving the hotspot; adding or removing frames; or importing or exporting a cursor toggles off Try Cursor.
Frame Duration now indicates that it is displaying seconds.
Navigating Mighty Mouse with Full Keyboard Access now makes sense.

Thank you for your support, comments, bug reports, criticism and of course for your excellent cursors! Keep 'em coming.

Not yet. The support is available internally, yet we haven't yet figured the best GUI to access it, so it'll probably be coming in the next updates to the haxie. There's plenty of stuff we want implemented, still, so we will address them in the future updates.

What better thread to release my cursors in?

It's just me I'm sure, but this cursor set looks dirty

Specially the wait cursor. What's it called? The "balls" cursor?

How about a popup menu above the cursor display area with the options General, App1, App2 etc. With apps added as they are supported. (or an add option if possible) Then the dispaly would show all the cursors that that app used to display stuff.

The update is great and I am glad I paid now. That res changing bug was a problem.

(Has anyone noticed that most Carbon apps (including the finder) don't use the changed I beam.)

There are two I-Beams in use in the system and MM only changes one of them currently. The other one (the one that doesn't change) has some nastiness that makes it disappear when you Restore Defaults.

Working on a fix.

Oh, and yeah, that CursorXP set does look sorta porno.

Your welcome.

If an update to the Fur theme ever comes out, you'll be set.

dark3lf · Mar 15, 2003, 11:03 AM

Isn't there a wait blob with Jaguar spots? I could have sworn I had it or saw it somewhere recently. I searched but couldn't find it, anyone know what I'm talking about?
