Qustion for Vlasta

2007-01-13Author: Kurt
Well how do u answer peoples questions in like 10 minutes??

Do you check the forums every 10 minutes??? how do you do it cause i want to know how to do it that fast for my forums.

2007-01-13Author: Vlasta
It's easy. I get a notification email when anyone posts a new topic.

2007-01-14Author: Kurt
Would that work for myyb forums??

2007-01-14Author: Vlasta
Yes, almost every forum script allows the same or similar function.

2007-01-14Author: Kurt
Ok thank you and if you want to go on my website it is http://www.kfb-zone.com and i figured out how to get the cursors on my website.

2007-02-11Author: SUM1
I have a file that i want to open that the realworld cursor wont open
it is a supported type file called "menu1.ANI" it is the menu background
for an online first person shooter game called Chaser. Can anyone tell
me why this file can not be opened?

2007-02-11Author: Vlasta
.ani files are animated cursors. It is possible that someone used the same extension for other types of files. It that case it would not work with RW Cursor Editor. If you are not sure, send me the file by email.

When I try to make/edit a cursor, I use the useful
fill tool a lot, but when I fill something w/ one color there
are a bunch of darn specs of other random colors. I've tried
a bunch of things, but they didn't work. It sometimes does
it w/ the line tool also. This is really weird and annoying,
do you know how to fix it?


Thanks,
Porsche_Feind73

2007-04-13Author: Porsche_Feind73
Um... I'm waiting...

2007-04-13Author: Vlasta
I am not sure I understand you correctly, but maybe you selected a low color depth (like 4bits = 16 colors). In that case, the editor automatically dithers the image if you try to use non-native color.

2007-04-13Author: Porsche_Feind73
Thanks, but just one more thing. When you load a 16-bit or so cursor, how do you convert it to 32-bit? I ask this because I like to mod the standard XP cursors and save them as mine.

2007-04-13Author: Vlasta
Insert a new image in greater color depth, copy the old one using clipboard (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, switch to new, Ctrl+V) and then delete the old image from the cursor.

2007-04-14Author: Porsche_Feind73
Hi. I've got a weird problem where if I try to open a cursor that has the standard arrow in it, it will show up blank. Know what happened?

P.S. And/or how to stop it?


2007-04-14Author: Vlasta
Maybe it is this problem.

2007-04-15Author: Porsche_Feind73
Sorry I wasn't specific enough. It's more of a windows problem. I meant when I try to choose my cursor as the current one in control panel, if it was a mod of the standard Win cursor, it will show up blank, so it's really hard to tell where it is. Any help?


Thank you very much.

2007-04-15Author: Porsche_Feind73
P.S. sorry for having so many problems, most people have less

2007-04-15Author: Vlasta
Did the cursor work in the editor (in the test area by the left side of the window)?

2007-04-15Author: <unknown>
Yes, it did. The only problem was when I wanted to choose it as my cursor, it somehow was blank in the "normal select" field. Also, this only happens with cursors that I changed. Not the ones I started new.

2007-04-15Author: Vlasta
Strange...send one of your not working cursors to info@rw-designer.com

2007-04-15Author: Porsche_Feind73
Actually, I acidentally already posted one or two. One is called Red-Black which is a standard Win cursor just w/ different colors.

2007-04-15Author: Vlasta
...I see, I have removed them from the library. The cursors contain beside the default 32x32 image also an empty 48x48 image. There should be only the 32x32 image in an cursor, unless you want to do something special with your cursor. If you remove the image, it will start working and you can re-post them to the library.

2007-04-15Author: Porsche_Feind73
Thank you very much, Vlasta, and sorry to take up so much of your time. My cursors work now, and hopefully I won't have any more problems. Actually, they were really just flaws I made or mistakes.



Thanks again,
Porsche_Feind73

Hi, just wondering what the location is of the normal link select cursor. It's on XP. Thanks.

2007-05-03Author: Vlasta
You can customize cursors, so the location depends on you. The default cursors are in C:\WINDOWS\Cursors

2007-05-08Author: <unknown>
Hi. Does any one know how to change cursors on Mac OS X? If so, pleaz tell me.

P.S. I wish you had animated smileys

2007-06-06Author: <unknown>
I'll take that as a "no" because I think I posted this comment like a month ago!

2007-06-06Author: Vlasta
I am afraid it is so. All software and graphics on this site are in Windows format.

2007-10-01Author: <unknown>
I love this program. Everytime I open it, I just logon and post cursors onto my sets.

Anyways, Vlasta, I just wish that this program can rotate the selected portion of a frame for the animated cursor, could you make a higher version of this program that can do that? If you can then thanks!

FYI: I just logged off on this site and I just forgot a comment/question so I didn't really want to waste time logging back in.

2007-10-01Author: Vlasta
If you want to select a region in a single frame and rotate it then it will be possible. It is actually possible in the current version, but you will need to configure it manually, which is not easy.

2007-10-05Author: FreezEO 5000
Well I think it will be a little easy, but not too easy for me because I'm a very experience on using the computer, only Windows operating systems is mostly easy, not like Mac PC's beacuse I'm having a little difficalty with it .

2007-10-05Author: Vlasta
OK, either wait ~ two weeks for the new version, or:
1) download and unpack layout.zip
2) start the app and go to Layout->Manage Layouts
3) delete the layout for animated cursors and import the unpacked layout
4) click OK and create new animated cursor - there should be a new command in the popup menu accessed via the toolbar button above the raster editor (only check the Resize button if working with selection, because the entire frames cannot be resized and the operation will fail).
5) if anything feels wrong, terminate the application via task manager and the changes to layouts will not be saved

2007-10-06Author: FreezEO 5000
Got it

2007-10-07Author: FreezEO 5000
I wish I can change my email for this web site but unfortunately, I can't because I have a secondary email that I now prefer.
Anyways, my 2nd email is z349dilman@gmail.com.

2007-10-08Author: Vlasta
Changing it would be a bit problematic. You would lost the ability to modify forum post and cursors...

2007-10-09Author: FreezEO 5000
I don't really mind, I..., oh what the heck, I can download the existing sets that I have done and you can delete the sets that I downloaded, but don't delete them until I post another reply saying that I'm ready to have them deleted and letting you know that my sets have been downloaded. The forums that I posted..., I don't really care .
1 ?, do I have to make a new account for just changing the email, if I have to, then never mind, I will leave things the way it is, but if it's possible, maybe you could change it to what's mentioned above.

2007-10-09Author: Vlasta
Try logging out an in with the new email. I tried to keep you cursors and posts editable. In case of problems let me know.

2007-10-10Author: FreezEO 5000
Thanks!

2007-10-11Author: FreezEO 5000
I have several questions/comments.
1.How many people actually use this site for posting/uploading cursors/icons?
2.How many registered people rate other member's icon/cursor sets?
3.I noticed that people that have signed up for this site and later abandon their account on this site or never logged on for days. I don't know if you noticed this but I'm just curious.

2007-10-11Author: Vlasta
1. only a few, you can see the dates when cursor sets were added...
2. not many - there are on average 1-2 votes per day for all cursor and icon set, I guess using images with start instead of just a text field would help a lot, or showing the best rated cursors on the main page of the library...
3. people make cursors only occasionally, some of them return after few months and make more, some don't ...

2007-10-19Author: FreezEO 5000
You said that there would be a new version of rw cursor editor right, well I downloaded it and ran the setup. during the installation, I recieve this error message. I will mail you the screenshot of it.

2007-10-19Author: Vlasta
OK, send the screenshot to info@rw-designer.com.

2007-10-20Author: FreezEO 5000
Thanks!

2007-10-22Author: FreezEO 5000
How come when ever i leave my account idle, it automatically logs me off?

2007-10-22Author: FreezEO 5000
How do i make an icon set?

2007-10-22Author: Vlasta
You are logged of automatically if you uncheck the "Remember me on this computer" field during login or if you clear your cookies (if you are using public or school computer, they may be cleared automatically).

You can create an icon set by clicking a link on the main page of the library while logged in. A icon set should contain at least 3 icons.

2007-11-05Author: <unknown>
how do i make 3d icons and turning it into .ico file format?

2007-11-05Author: Vlasta
Follow the tutorials in the application or on this web.

2007-11-07Author: <unknown>
i figured out on how to convert 3d images into .ico file format.
