Animated dots cursor wizard

This wizard can be run from a toolbar in RealWorld Cursor Editor window with an opened cursor.

The wizard generates an animated cursor consisting of shrinking dots arranged in a circle. Outline and fill colors of the dots are configurable. The user can also pick the alignment on the canvas, number of dots, shrinking smoothness, and animation type (shrinking, waving, or chaotic).

The frame selected before the wizard is run plays an important role. The animation is generated inside this frame. The frame is copied N-1 times (where N is the number of the animation steps) and then the phases of the animation are drawn. If the selected frame contains multiple layers, the new drawing is placed into a separate layer. If the selected frame only contains a single layer, the dots are drawn directly into that layer. In most cases, the frame should be initially empty.

The wizard can work with multi-resolution cursors and generates a differently sized drawing for each image format in the cursor.

Would like it if you could move the dots to a spot, and change their size. If that happens I could publish my setup sooner πŸ˜‰
