I can't upload cursor files, despite having the .cur extension. Any idea why this might be?

are they actually cursors or something else that was just renamed to .cur? - by Vlasta on May 22nd

can i edit point of cursor?
i can only edit right down of point

The hotspot? You mean the pixel that the cursor clicks on? Use the blue cross tool on the toolbar in order to change the hotspot. - by nibbler on June 1st

how the hell do I delete my mouse.

Go to your mouse settings, switch your cursors back to Aero, then recycle and permanently delete your custom cursors. Or, go the literal route by unplugging your wired mouse and throwing it in the trash. :*) - by nibbler on June 6th

I still can't find the Animation thingy. Where exactly is it? On what menu?
Hope I'm not being a pest. Also, can the menu icons be made larger?

On the bottom should be a set of frames with a number of milliseconds that indicate its duration. Change the value accordingly. So far, I don't think the menu icons can be made larger, but I'll check with Vlasta. - by nibbler about 19 hours ago
