Many thanks for creating this cursor set on my behalf. Many thanks.

You're welcome!

@Hopachi

Welcome back. I have one more request for you. Please Hopachi can you try your very best, as always, to assist me by creating the Riddler cursor set. This time, I will explain this more cautiously in full details.

I want the Riddler cursor set to be a complete set like you did with the "Rainbow Deluxe" cursor set yesterday. Please can you create the Riddler cursor set for Windows 10 as well, including all the cursor roles such as "Universal" mouse pointer, "Location Select" and "Person Select" cursor roles.

Below, I have created a Riddler (Sample Cursor) image so that you can get a clear idea of what I am wanting for a "Riddler Premium XXL" cursor set. Basically, what I want for this cursor set is a green background in the same color gradient of RGB values of (R: 0, G: 255, B: 0). All the cursor roles in this cursor set must be fully animated with a spinning clockwise question mark symbol. Take a good look at the following picture. I want all the cursors to be super large and super smooth with a Windows 10 theme appearance scheme:



I do understand the controversy of some issues. For long cursor roles like double headed arrows and other similar slim cursor roles you will need to make the question mark smaller and add three of them. Please make sure that the spinning question marks does not touch the black cursor borders, otherwise that will spoil the animation effects.

For the Busy and Working In Background cursor roles, for the round spinner, you may need a 3D visual effect like this:



The above Riddler cube image is also a sample image to put ideas in your head on how to make both the Busy and Working In Background cursor roles. It is important that every part of those two cursor roles are fully animated. Please make the animation slow and add as many frames as you can to make a super smooth animation effect.

For this Riddler cursor set, only one size in XXL is required, so you wont need to make smaller and lower resolutions. Simply use the highest and best possible resolution for this cursor set with every part of the animations smooth. The spinning question marks must be super smooth as well as all the cursor edges. Please make all the borders black and the fill green in the same green gradient as I noted above.

Please can you name this cursor set as "Riddler Premium XXL" as the file name.

Good luck, take your time, and I hope you succeed.

Thank you.

Sorry to say it but I won't be able to make this one spin.

To make it clear:
Take the worst-case and make a preview.



With Windows Standard XL there is barely room for a still pixel-art question mark.
A spinning one is out of the question. Literally.


Then you can go for a thicker arrow design.
IMO, too thick ones look bad if you consider them to be precision-select items.

Hey, I used one of your cursors, but I want a Windows Black cursor (already on Windows) but the Working on background and Busy state is not Animated at all. The white version of the cursor (Windows Default) is have animated cursors.

Hi there,
Which one exactly did you use?

This one.

You're in luck.
The Binary cursors were recently enhanced by i486.
See post #588.
Custom Cursors

They now contain two different animations to choose from and more color schemes.
