You can create any cursors in RWCE, you just need to know what VB6 supports. Older cursors used to only have 32x32 pixels images, although different sizes were allowed in the .cur format. Also, color depths used to be limited, so you may want to limit your cursor color depth if the default causes problems in vb6.

Flag assembler

This assembler allows you to create simple flags of many existing and non-existing countries. The colors may not always be 100% correct for all countries, but I am not including 20 shades of red for e...

What to improve next?

There are so many areas to be improved and only a limited time to do it. What should be given priority? There are already some changes being made to the Gallery section, but there is still a lot that can be improved. Should I focus on making the Gall...

Assemblage - December 2025 TOTM

This month, creators will have full freedom: the theme is entirely open, but your submission must be an icon assembler, which is a structured set of PNG or SVG parts arranged into groups (layers) that...

Icon assembler update - part 2

The icon assembler section of the Gallery has received another update. This time, it's not just visual tweaks; it's something more fundamental, something that has been requested for longer than some of you have been alive. After 13 years, it is final...

Winter is Coming - November 2025 TOTM

The chill is setting in, and a certain sense of anticipation hangs in the air - winter is coming, after all. This month's contest invites artists to craft thematic sets of icons or mouse cursors inspi...
You should be able to set up a donation link on your account page on the "Support me" line. As of now, it is only shown on icon assembler pages and is work in progress, but it may eventually be shown in more places.

all your uploaded cursors are called allucard-hellsing cursors added to a set need to have unique names, because if added to a .zip file or downloaded to a single folder, they would overwrite each other you can rename them by visiting individual cursor pages and then clicking on a Modify link and then pick a unique name, it is a good idea to use either something that ...

Icon assembler update - part 1

The icon assembler part of the Gallery section received some long needed updates. The work is not yet done, it is still not possible to upload your own assemblers, but there are some visual and functional changes for those, who want to use them to as...
Great 😊 ! BTW there is now the ability to blog or micro-blog (click on Edit above in the Contact card), you can use it to post these announcements, info about your plans etc. and have it published on the home page.
Some of you (those logged in) may have noticed a new face on the People page, a gnome trader offering various trinkets. He is giving nothing away unless you pay him in buttons... How can you get some? By writing reviews of cursor and icon sets in the gallery. If you have written some reviews, but the buttons are not coming, you should re-read the recommendations given...
Transparent background is the default. If you create a new icon, it will start with a transparent background. How do you test the icon in the browser? Is it the fav-icon in the address bar? If you simply open an image in a tab, most browsers will ignore the transparency and add some kind of background. (Is it an .ico file or do you use the term icon in more general se...
Is the image very big? Maybe just try saving the image, closing all windows of the application, maybe even restarting Windows and reopening the image again.
How are you trying to upload it? As individual cursors or as a .zip? Also, try it now and don't use words like 'set', 'cursor', or 'cursors' in the set name.
It is created automatically, but because your initial cursors were empty, it was empty, it is OK now, but your web browser has the old image cached, so on the page, where you don't see the thumbnail, press CTRL+F5 to force your web browser to refresh it (other people, who only visited your set after you have updated it, see your thumbnail just fine). Pretty good first...
you can for example join the current contest
