Amazing theme, highly original and innovative. I wonder why people give it such mediocre notes.

Simple and beautiful.
Best thing for me is the idea with stretching cursors: cursor behaves like alive object :)
Fits well to white icons: 3da, Edge.
Thanks!!! Now maybe try something more arrow-like :-)

I've been using this cursur theme for a while and now that there is an update, it reminded me to post a review saying how much i love it. Looks great with the Reinhardt icons.

great theme, far better than any I've seen till now, but there are somethings I don't like about this one:
-All cursors like hand, help, etc have the second icon overlap the normal cursor, I know this is just personal taste but I think the second icon should not overlap the cursor.
The rest is perfect, I really like the 'sandclock' sequenz

I know what you mean about the overlap. I'm not quite sure what to do. When I created them, the overlapped region is actually a hole in the cursor, but at cursor size, it is so small, you can't see it. It looks better on the plus and minus cursors than the ``hand'' (lightning bolt) and question cursors.

I'm glad you like the pulsing, though!

It's GPL'd, so you are welcome to modify it. I've included all the SVG files that were used to generate the cursors, so you should be able to open them up in Sodipodi and change them. The only special ones are the animated ones, where you would need to modify the Makefiles to do so. If you need more adivce, just contact me.

This is a perfect cursor theme for Flat or Reinhardt! Fans of dannya and leinir should take note.

Woow... This may be a tad on the late side considering when this was released. But yes, i agree. Until i eventually get around to making a mousecursor theme, and that may well be quite a while off yet, this is the one i'm endorsing :) (the same way i endorse the web window decoration, meaning that it's what i'll be using myself ;) )
