You are a "Schöngeist" and I am an engineer. We just happen to have a different perspective. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/trifling-around-with-cursors#post-37250 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 21:35:50 +0000 SarahJames 37250@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>@ whs - To me things need to work (what use has a PC otherwise? LOL), but the looks of things are important too.<br /> It is far easier to work in a pleasing environment. People come to greater achievements if they feel good and if the eye is pleased the mind get's stimulated, making you feel better.</p> <p>And I don't have the time to tinker with things, but I make the time (and for more than just tinkering on the PC, even at the cost of sleep - heck, we can sleep long enough when we're dead. LOL)</p> <p>And concerning taking risks - life would be pretty boring without them!! </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/trifling-around-with-cursors#post-37225 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 19:43:16 +0000 whs 37225@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Sarah, it's perfecly alright to tinker with things - if you have the time. I am always for the practical side of it. With every tinkering there is a risk. I always weigh the risks against the benefits. And the looks of things do not matter for me, as long as things work. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/trifling-around-with-cursors#post-37221 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 19:25:47 +0000 SarahJames 37221@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Hi Guys, I see this started a whole discussion here:)<br /> Whs, I'm not so much into changing the cursors (I like the Vista default for a change), but I just liked having the possibility to change them.</p> <p>Cool icons, PalmTrees! I remade the documentsfolder icon (updated the png in the other post), because I made them in a hurry, but I'm done for the moment:) </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/trifling-around-with-cursors#post-37216 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 19:02:31 +0000 PalmTrees 37216@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>@SarahJames- Thanks for the link :) I think I'll try it out.<br /> Heres the latest on the icons (Black Glass) ;)</p> <p><img src='http://i331.photobucket.com/albums/l459/PalmTrees_88m/2008-07-24_215416-1.jpg' /> </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/trifling-around-with-cursors#post-37210 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 18:35:00 +0000 whs 37210@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I guess there are infinite ways meesing up your system. I like to keep it simple - unless there is a function I need. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/trifling-around-with-cursors#post-37207 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 18:16:20 +0000 jd2066 37207@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Yup, just like visual themes, custom sound effects, custom icons and others there isn't any real practical use for changing cursors. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/trifling-around-with-cursors#post-37201 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 17:58:52 +0000 whs 37201@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Thanks jd, that far I was with you. But what is the practical advantage over the "normal" pointers. They just look different but do not have any additional function - or am I missing something. It's just toying around, isn't it? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/trifling-around-with-cursors#post-37200 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 17:38:25 +0000 jd2066 37200@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>@whs: You can use it to create cursors you can use via Control Panel -&gt; Mouse -&gt; Pointers tab. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/trifling-around-with-cursors#post-37150 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 13:31:13 +0000 billbonza 37150@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Thanks for the link. The more the better-maybe off topic next time. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/trifling-around-with-cursors#post-37140 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 12:25:53 +0000 Aleeve 37140@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>looks quite cool but i haven't really got the time!! </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/trifling-around-with-cursors#post-37138 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 12:23:16 +0000 whs 37138@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>What is the practical value of that. I don't get it. Does that provide function that one needs? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/trifling-around-with-cursors#post-37105 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 09:45:21 +0000 Lighthouse 37105@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>The site looks interesting.
