I like www.albinoblacksheep.com with their curser. I think it's really cool. Also is there any programs out there I can use to make CUR files? |

Now, how smart is dan? 
The only non-standard cursor I would even deem borderline acceptable is the help cursor, for things that well, help and/or inform you. Like mouseover definitions... maybe. And that's pushing it...  |

That's what I'm talking about... |

Only Internet Explorer can do custom cursers outside of the W3C standards... |

Technically you -could- do it (I could probably even make you the cursor), it just wouldn't behave the same and would have a triangle in the upper-left corner of the box as an indicator. 
Heh. |

Which I'm not going to link, because I hate them and I hate you. 
What I want is to make the curser to look like the same one as the QuickBasic one. You know: the dos one? That would be cool. |
