Wow, some of these are really cool. Ideas for progression...

> Make the animation smoother on animated sprites.
> Use a transparency effect on the edge of the ninja/other stuff, so it doesnt jarr against other backgrounds.

Other than that, great.

Fair Enough. It was a tough decision where to put it, but i think that would be more suitable.

Yes, two things i would have done had i had the patience :P
I just used the ninja pictures in the help section (they are slightly bigger than the in-game ninja), like a moving slide show lol.
Transparacy should take a while though. it is hard to see them on the backgraoud :P

Ah, that's not what I meant. Anti-aliasing is what to do there. Get paint.net for free (just put it in google and download), then download the anti-alias plugin and you should be able to blur the edges. Although a translucent ninja would be cool too :)

I see. Does paint.net work for .ani and .cur files as well?
No biggie if it doesn't would just take a little longer..
I think the animation is fine, but some people would prefer the smoother style, so i will make one like that too.

There is one thing you can improve on this already awesome cursor. Make it animated, though I'm not sure if you're capable of that yet :)

Like N jumping on the spot and running etc.
Nice work and welcome to the forums :) esay hehe; essay

I am capable of making it animated. Busy and working in background are animated.
I chose not to make the main one animated as it could be distracting.

i don't mean that essay btw ;)

This is great! Just a few things need fixing...

Ninja needs better transparency around the sides.
Available looks weird flashing. Just make it a chaingun.
Link select doesn't have a smooth animation.
Something other than gold for the resizes. They look weird with heaps gold in them.

Apart from that, it's fantasic! Love the Busy/Working in Background cursors!

You hurt me UniverseZero.... ;_;

Anyways Here's My response:

"Ninja needs better transparency around the sides." - I think its fine. You can't really see the transparency when its light and it stands out in the black.

"[Un]Available looks weird flashing. Just make it a chaingun." - The unavailable cursor is seldom seen, and when it is, you want it to be eye-catching.

"Link select doesn't have a smooth animation." - I understand, and it doesn't particularly need it, plus it would be quite hard to do.

"Something other than gold for the resizes. They look weird with heaps gold in them." - The Gold is very small and hard to notice. I don't think it needs a change.
