ok

actually this happens not just in games that it wont show the CursorFx Cursor but as well as in the right click menu of steam in the windows taskbar, cant wait till this is finally fixed been waiting all these years for a proper fix, i still love CursorFx it really gives the mouse cursor the love it deserves

Your previous thread about this "issue" was locked for a reason, simply because you already have the answer right there.

Steam/Valve use their own graphic rendering engine(s) (VGUI) in both standard mode and the big picture mode and like many games and programs/apps will never be and should never be compatible with CursorFX for very obvious reasons i.e. they have their own cursors in addition to another engine for rendering than Windows standard GUI. So what you are asking isn't only undesirable, but impossible to implement.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having trouble.

Very true and any workaround would have us doing hacky stuff with DirectX as well as triggering every anti-cheat measure any game might have. 

The OP should not have been lead to believe that we would work around such things - our mistake long ago.

If you do not have CursorFX installed in the default location:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\CursorFX

Odd things can happen if CursorFX works at all.  If you do not, uninstall, reboot, reinstall in the default location and see if you still see your issues.

Again, if you have it installed in the proper/default location, please send a link to a video of exactly what is happening.  You can record the video with any number of free capture tools, including natively with Windows 10 (WinKey + G) and upload it to a cloud file sharing service (GoogleDrive, OneDrive, DropBox, etc).

Can you share something (to somewhere) that does not require Flash?

With what I scan see that you are doing, I cannot reproduce your issue on Win10 general release:

Or on another PC, Windows Insider fast ring:

Also tried with a WB skin applied, as you seem to have, and it still worked.

Why is this white - not visible:

Have you tried doing a Windows 10 clean boot where only CursorFX was the only non-Microsoft app starting in your Startup:

Are you running Steam under another set of Admin credentials or CursorFX under some other compatibility mode?

As you can surmise, something else it at work (an app, setting, etc) that is causing this as it is not readily reproducible.

Hello again,

Would like to know what you have on your system on UI side. I see there is a frame on your taskbar icons Expanded Tray, Is that from Windowblinds or something else? If it is Windowblinds can you tell me the theme you are using when you taken that video.

Thank you,

After looking into this further, there is also an issue with the Steam overlay in general (Shift + Tab while in a game) on Win7 (not Win10)- the CFX cursor does not show and does not, as it should, default to the Windows native cursor.

The resource argument I made still applies, resources being allocated for the current (old) version of CursorFX on Windows 7, however, for reasons I can't detail just yet, there is a motivation to see why this is not working as expected for the Steam client (some of it anyway).

In summation, we will be looking into this further.

Just an FYI, in testing an internal build of CFX, the Steam issue is fixed on Win7.

Stephen, a new-ish developer here at Stardock, fixed it.  Wicked talented that one is.
