3.5 out of 5 stars.

I like the design. But, the shadow is cut off at the edge. Also, the the PP Laser is hard to use if the hot spot keeps changing. Good idea though I love the design!

I totally agree with you guys. Its the 1st time I tried using rwcrusor's drop shadow. The hotspot moves only 4 diagonal px if i remember right. that's what, 1/18th of an inch? I thought that part is pretty good, but I appreciate input and ideas about it, maybe there should be a discussion on moving hotspots since until recently i didnt even think of it it (or mostly just ignored the possibility) would be good to know how others feel about it. Any how Its a start huh? Im thining on going with the transparency thing...
Oh and thank you for the generous votes. Id go with about 2.5 - 3 stars myself but this was just a feel-out for the actual cursors im working on. Gimme about a week rofl..

There is nothing wrong with moving hot spots. Visually, it is the same as moving the whole picture, but you effectively have more space. Regarding the shadow, it would be better, if it were smaller - either the shadow or the pointer so that they can both fit into the available space.
