Posts of note:
I already installed the new version 4.3 and yes Effects & Trails are there now but my big problem now is the animated cursors that are extremely very heavy to use at the end i uninstalled CursorFx 4 because i purchased many animated cursors and i should use them and Re installed the OLD v2.16 again until you find a solution to fix CFX 4
I installed this latest version and using animated cursors but, disappointed in it. I think this has made my computer slower and I sometimes have to mouse click 2 or even 3 times for the click action takes effect. I'll use it for some more time, but not happy with it at the moment.
I have the exact same issue with custom animated curors (Not built in cursors) it very slow responding when using my animated cursors.But i FIXED that by going to "Settings>Shadow" and checked the Disable checkbox that fixed all problems.So what i want to know why should i disable this Option in order to get my cursors working properly? And are you going to address this issue and fix it?
We want all like performance issues with effects reported and discussed here.
We will update it with things to test and perhaps a new build if warranted.
Thank you for your time, effort, and patience.
