CursorFX v4 compatible with v2 ?

from WinCustomize Forums

Hi guys, I'm on Windows 7, and using CursorFx v2. Will a cursor made in v4, work with v2 ? The reason I ask is because 2 recent themes by Boneheaddb don't work for me, meaning, the theme doesn't change. Any suggestions ?

Why? It's normal for most applications that you cannot open them in older versions because the formats have more features and have been further developed. I would be surprised if newly made windowblinds would perform flawlessly in older versions.

Jan, that makes sense. Now, vice versa, if I install v4, will the older Cursorfx themes work ?

I have not tested all Cursors theme that available in CursorFX Wincustomize CursorFX Library, https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/cursorfx , but I do know most that I have tested xxx.CursorFX files work with CursorFX v4.

Thank you,

Cursor FX Plus Cursors should work with NEW cursor FX or the whole thing is idiotic... -ALL those old cursors not usable anymore?? -Surely this was not the idea when released.

-Reason for me saying this is because some have had issues with my newly uploaded cursors.

-I am STILL working in "old" Cursor Fx Plus, as I think the issue to get the cursors skinned for the "old" version of Cursor FX compatible with the New one one is Important. 

-A couple of cents from me again ;P

You're absolutely right, Neone6. Why would anyone buy the new version if it wasn't compatible with the older themes ?

Who said that they were not compatible, Neon6?

Yes, all old cursors should work with CFX4.
