user icon Anonymous on December 26th 2024

I made my own cursor but it does not have the right place for the clicking action (?) I don't know how to fix this. Can anybody help me? :-(

user icon Anonymous on December 27th 2024

An easy tip here: Reopen your cursor file for editing... Then, look for a menu called "Hot Spot" in the application you are using to create and edit your cursor. After clicking on the "Hot Spot" menu, go ahead and click once in your drawing in the part where you want to save your cursor's click command, then save your cursor again. Remember that this tip is only valid for those who are using cursor creation and editing applications. It is not valid for other drawing applications such as Windows Paint or others. :-)

Always, Always, set your cursor hotspot before you use it!

I get this error when trying to upload a cursor. What is that error and why do I receive it?

Failed to add the cursor to the library (database error).

I tried to re-save the cursor and that does not fix the error. How can I fix this error?
