Custom Cursors

I needed some more two-tone cursors, and the orange & teal was all around too dark for me.

Nice work!
Infinite variations to choose from.

@Cesare
The Rainbow Ultimate release is getting closer.
Still some work to do.
I've began with the horizontal variation.

A small preview for now is the new pendulum.

Those rough edges are from GIF compression with transparency.

All works fine so far. There are 20 frames, as decided.
I'll go for 64x64 px but want to test 96x96 px size, though I'm sure 128x128 px won't be possible.

Looking Good!

@Hopachi

I am glad that you are still making those two Rainbow Ultimate cursor sets. It is good to hear from you that you have made a start on the horizontal variation of this Rainbow Ultimate cursor set.

I really like the pendulum cursor with the shaking bell animation. The left and right animation is perfect. Its neither too slow or too fast. Simply perfect. Please keep it as is. The rainbow colors are fine as well and the speed of the color animation is perfect as well. Please proceed on making all the other cursor sets for both the horizontal and vertical cursor sets. Please remember to keep the color animation speed the same as of now.

The rough edges are experimental. Please make all the cursor borders as smooth as you possibly can. I want both cursor sets to be super smooth. Yes, please keep all the 20 frames with the 20 colors that I have requested. Please go ahead and aim for my decision for a 64x64 pixel size resolution. You may experiment for yourself with a 96x96 pixel resolution. I am not sure whether of not at 96x96 pixels would work.

When you have completed and finished both sets, please name them as "Rainbow Ultimate Horizontal XXL" for the horizontal set and "Rainbow Ultimate Vertical XXL" for the vertical set. Both sets must have XXL at the end of the names.

Many thanks for you to patiently willing on finishing this last request for those two cursor sets. Good luck with all of that. See you soon.

Rainbow Ultimate Horizontal XXL

Please add an Inverted and Universal mouse pointer cursor role, as well as Location Select and Person Select cursor roles. I want both cursor sets to have 24 cursors in total. Please also add a swinging mouse pointer cursor role that swings like a bell. The animation must be smooth and also needs to have all the same animation effects as with the rest of the cursors. For a smooth animation effect of the swinging mouse pointer, that pointer will need 20 frames for a smooth animation.

With all of them included there are 20 cursors.
Not 24...

Alt -> Inverted
Neutral -> Universal
Person
Location
Pendulum...

I must admit, it looks quite impressive when animated.

@Cesare
Here are the releases of the Rainbow Ultimate Horizontal/Vertical XXL cursors.
I haven't included any installers so use the files manually. You may rename the roles as needed, like neutral -> universal... or any other files.

Up to 64x64 px layers, standard 6/60 s timed frame @ 20 frames.
This is of course fully animated, the preview below are static screenshots of the folders.

To show a small animated preview, here are the working roles:

Horizontal:


Vertical:


They all use the same speed and gradient loops so you get the idea for the images below.

Horizontal preview:

Vertical preview:

The pendulum... swings. This one was new to me but an animated hotspot is the key. In this case it's simply using linear rotation and timed animation but worked out pretty well.
The per-frame hotspot re-position took almost as much time as making all the other roles altogether.

Horizontal:


Vertical:



Cheers!

@Hopachi

Wow. I am speechless here. This is epic. Great work Hopachi on all those animations. This does look so impressive when animated.

I do not need any installers. I know how to manually assign each of the cursor roles in the Additional Mouse Settings under Windows 10. I have no problem with that. Easy peasy for me.

Both the horizontal and vertical versions of those cursor sets are perfect. I like them so much the way they are. No needs for changes. That was spot on and 100% accurate. Many thanks Hopachi. I like your work so much and I thank you once again for your kind help and patience for making this last cursor requests on two rainbow cursor sets I needed. Many thanks.

I like this cursor set in 64x64 pixels. Also the 20 frames with the 20 colors work perfectly well for this cursor set. The animation speed is perfect as well as the smoothness of the black outlines. I am also glad that all the cursors use the same speed for the animation effects.

I wanted a cursor set like this for a very long time but could not find one. Thank you so much for making the impossible possible.

When you are ready, please release this XXL Rainbow cursor set as a finished product.

Good luck.

Thanks Cesare!
Glad you like the outcome.

The cursor is finished as is. You can of course post it already on your RW collection.

I may add an installer here later, for ease of use, but you can consider it released as in my previous post.

@Cesare
The zips are already included there below each large (folder) preview image.
"Name + .zip"
(it's a link to download in bold font)

Sorry for the confusion.

EDIT:
I've edited the links in post #756 adding description 'download' to locate better.
