Cursor Shapes

Andrew,

Ricks right. You can create a custom cursor by using certain programs that automate the process of turning an image into a cursor file (.CUR). A program I have used successfully is called Cursor Maker and can be found: http://www.rw-designer.com/cursor-maker here">here

It will even allow you to specify which parts of the cursor do the pointing, if that makes sense. I think it would be perfect for your needs. Be warned though, my experience with Captivate and custom cursors is that once you have created it properly and try to use it, Captivate places a rather annoying illuminous green border round it for some reason. Very strange because it works when you use the custom cursor as the default for windows ... I think this has been documented in the forums already ,,,

On a last note, after creating your cursor, a simple way to use it in Captivate is just to copy the actual file from wherever its saved, double click on the mouse in a project, choose browse and then just paste it in. The default cursor directory in Captivate is the Windows one, i.e. c:\Windows\Cursors

Hope this helps also,

Cheers,
Alex.
