    Well, today I had the idea to make a cursor that looked like a DMR reticle.
    After several dowloads of cursor compiling programs, here is what I finally made.
    After a few minutes of use you get used to the difference, its like, you have used it before or something ;D



    Standard Cursor

    Moused Over something

    [​IMG]
    -animation of said mouseover (resolution is way better than in gif)
    [​IMG]



    Loading something
    [​IMG]
    -the gap moves around in a circle



    after some testing with just those, i added an older AR reticle for resizing



    Move:

    Verical resize:
    [​IMG]
    Horizontal resize:
    [​IMG]
    Diagonal resize 1:
    [​IMG]
    Diagonal resize 2:
    [​IMG]



    to come is a reticle that closest resembles the text selection thing, but its no big deal

    DOWNLOAD DMR cursor


    How to use the cursors
    1. Open up control pannel
    2. search for "mouse"
    3. click "change how the mouse pointer looks" or something similar
    4. replace all the default cursors with the one in the zip file, all the names are the same
    5. Apply


    MAC? ur boned.

    Gravity hammer is the only thing I can think if for text selection but that could get annoying quickly. I'd like to know what software, I assume it's free, you used so I could try this out myself.

    Is there bloom when you click on something?

    unfortunately there is no way to add an animation to clicking, but I timed it so that the bloom generally goes off right around the time you click the link.

    Yeah the software is here

    I think it's too big, any way you could make one just a bit smaller? And I like the text select, but without the spokes at the sides, just the up and down ones.

    Just discovered this yesterday and made my own text select because the awesomeness of a DMR reticle for a pointer inspired me to fill in more of the missing pieces.

    Okay, it's not that size but it's the Scorpion reticle from Halo 1!

    Old thread is old.

    Anyway, the idea is cool, if a little superfluous. Nice job, though.
