CursorFX

Stardock announced the next-generation version of its Windows® cursor customization application, CursorFX 4, today. With CursorFX, Windows users can instantly change their default mouse cursor on their computer with animated and themed cursor designs.

CursorFX makes it easy for Windows users to customize their mouse cursors by applying skins, shadows, motion trails, and sounds. Users can also import .PNG files into the CursorFX theme editor to create brand new cursors from scratch. 

The new version of CursorFX adds support for Windows 10 and high DPI monitors, several new cursor packs, and more. Thousands of additional cursors are also available for download on WinCustomize.com.

"We wanted to bring better cursor customization options to Windows 10 users," said Brad Wardell, CEO of Stardock. "CursorFX has a ton of options for animations, special effects, and sound effects, as well as a robust customization community filled with thousands of users around the world.” 

CursorFX 4 will be released soon to all users for $4.99. The beta version is available now for subscribers to Stardock's Windows enhancement suite, Object Desktop. Visit www.cursorfx.com to learn more.

Thanks, Sean. I can verify that the problems I had with drop down links in Open Office and Thunderbird have been fixed. Right click in Thunderbird also works.  Ctrl-Shift-C now works.  Great job!

Ok, uninstalled CFX2.  Rebooted.  Installed CFX4, rebooted. It wasn't in all programs, so I went to the install directory, there it was.  Would not launch.

Uninstalled with iObit Uninstaller Pro, rebooted.  Installed yet again. this time it's in all programs, still will not launch.

Chose to right click, run as admin. no go.  What the crap?

Ok, uninstalled again. Reboot.  Installed  and rebooted and this time there is a shortcut on desktop. I launch, 5:20  later it hasn't launched but it resides in task manager using half my cpu.  Still no config window at 6:34 on stopwatch.

 

7 minutes. I give.

Removed some of the redundant posts and just left these two that are relevant.

Same test as before, if you rename:

\Users\Public\Documents\Stardock\CursorFX\Themes

to:

\Users\Public\Documents\Stardock\CursorFX\Themes.OLD

Does it then open?  If so, and you dump a few from \Themes.OLD into the new Themes directory, does it still work?

Reinstalled CursorFX 4.01-j74 and the only issue I have discovered is that the previews for cursors in the left column isn't showing after install. That is solved however, simply by deleting the "Preview" folder iside the Themes folder of CursorFX.

It seems to be working well with some not so skinning friendly older apps too.

Ok, Sean. I will try once more with your instructions. If it doesn't work. I'll wait for the release. 

Reply #86 from WinCustomize Forums Top

Clicking on icon in system tray sometimes open config, sometimes not. (Right click - open & double click). Same thing from start menu.

Yes, opens immediately with zero cursors.

 

Loads fairly quickly with like 50 cursors .

 

Doesn't load at all with all my cursors installed.  Not even showing in task mgr. as trying to load.

Reply #88 from WinCustomize Forums Top

All cursors in, I am at 8 minutes 46 seconds. Still no config window.  It does show in Task Manager.

Reply #89 from WinCustomize Forums Top

I don't see a choice for me but to go back to CFX2.

Reply #90 from WinCustomize Forums Top

I'm gonna copy all my cursors to a PC that has never had CFX on it.  Try there.  Stay tuned.

Reply #91 from WinCustomize Forums Top

Ok. CFX4 loads immediately with only the default cursors.  

Added 10 more, loads almost right away.

Add all. Loads in task manager for like 5 seconds, then goes away without ever showing an open window.

 

This is on a PC with a fresh install of Windows 10. No other added software.  Fully updated.

Hi, I subscribed to OD nearly a year ago. I noticed that the version I have doesn't have cursorfx - even the old version. I tried reinstalling the OD as per the link provided in the CursorFx4 page, but still, the app doesn't add up. What to do?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. CursorFX 4 still under Beta. To have it appear in your ODM you will need to turn on the "Shoe beta download" option.

or you can get it direct from your account : https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products

Beta download should appear under your ODM  invidual Downloads

As I see it, there are 2 possibilities: Quantity of (and you seem to have a ton) or a Cursor package(s) it does not like.  Could you try adding them in groups of 20?

I'll give it a shot, Sean.  Meantime, could you maybe fix CFX4 so that it likes all my cursors?  I have no issues with CFX2.
