I would, but it will be a waste of time. And I got some characters closer to the edge of the icon area that outlining will be impossible. It wouldn't completely wrap around as it could be some breaks. If I would try to center it, it would hit the triangle pointer or other tool. The Quote cursor... I could not tell if outlining will be possible because he has black hair, a black shirt and shoes.

What program are you using to make your cursors? I use AniTuner (link here if you want to see it http://www.gdgsoft.com/anituner/) which can change the hotspot of the pointer (what part of the image is the clicker part) can change the dimensions of the mouse to whatever you want (that could be really abused to make big mouses).

That should solve most of your problems with outlining it, and what do you mean it wouldn't completely wrap around? Idk, but your issues sound pretty solvable to me. They shouldn't be issues with Anituner (oh gawd I sound like an Ad now, oh well just letting you know.). And I would outline the whole quote too, because otherwise it would be offbalance. Or you could outline quote's black parts with a white-ish line.

Windows can only recognize 32 x 32 icons for cursors (all OS's, even Windows Vista). If I save it with different dimensions (no matter which program I use), the image gets resized to 32 x 32. They lose resolution if it's a bigger cursor.

Someday, larger cursors could be implemented in future Windows OS's. I could suggest Microsoft that addition for recognizing different resolutions and not squared. When that time comes, then I can create the cursors that you have recommended.

To recap from an earlier post, I used Greenfish Icon Editor Pro.

Remember that it is a submission topic.

I don't think that would be such a good idea. Cursors should be small, so that it's clear where they are pointing. Icons, on the other hand...

I created two new series but only one is coming soon because I cannot be too sure.

I created a sixth series set, featuring basic monsters you can first see in the game. I just wanted to add to this. You will get bats, beetles, and critters. (This series has been added to the all-in-one package, you can get it from my cursor site separately or all-in-one. You can check my earlier post in which I edited for links to it.)

The other one, I couldn't think of what I will do... You should see my download page in my cursor site.

I wanted to know if the webmaster of Cavestory.org can actually update my all-in-one set in the Tribute Site?

Of course I can. I'll try to get that updated later tonight.

Not at all, i know a old guy, that use a giant target on a mac.
because he have some eye problem, and have some problems to see little stuff.

So for some people, big cursors, are good :)

No, I'm not saying that.

I'm not quite sure what I'm saying right now. Ask again later. Like, around Feb 14 or something.
