Great app. As you say the 'Thing' is worth it alone

[Update - October 9]

A new update has just been uploaded (literally in the last 5 mins) to fix an annoying bug which appears in a couple of cases, when the screen saver starts and ends or when ctrl-alt-del is pressed. So if you downloaded already you probably want to get the updated one.
Elemental: Reforged

This is great. Fixes the cursors dissapearing when you switch users in XP. Just what I've been waiting on. (that and the cool trails)

I can't put my finger on why this application is so cool! Let me change my mouse. NOW I can put my finger on it! Thanks!

Works great. Had problems with earlier versions but looks great now (2K, Ati Radeon). I just wish there were a wider selection of themes out there. (Why are there none on WC? I saw the two other sites) Thanks though, love it.

I still get the cursor "on top" of OpenGL applications, which really is quite disturbing when playing games; and "disappearing" menus with WinFX enabled. Nevertheless, I'm still using it every day.

Mack: I think the version 1.3 works a lot better with games than previous versions, in any case we still work to reach full compatibility. Also by now remember that for this issue CursorEx has a quick hotkey switch (ctrl+shift+c by default) to enable/disable it.
What are the games that have problems with CursorEx, so we can directly test and work on a fix?
