Windows 7 HB64: Cannot change shadow position in static mode. CursorFX 2.11

from Stardock Forums

Hi!

 

1. I cannot change shadow position in static mode. Preview works fine, but nothing is changing after pressing apply button and when I return back all shadow settings are in initial state. Is there any solution? Dynamic mode seems to be working properly.

2. Launhing CursorFX from menu doesn't launch the CursorFX Control Panel

There is a bug in the installer linkThanks for the report.  We are looking into this one.ing the start menu to the CursorFX engine and not the control panel.

If you modify the shortcut to point to "CursorFX Control Panel.exe" all should be well'

 

To do so select the start button, select CursorFX, right-click on it, select properties.

Hello.
I apologize for the trouble, I have removed you from all mailing lists, so you should be all set going forward.
Please let me know if you have any further questions/concerns.

I've added shortcut to Control Panel instead. And what about shadow issue? BTW, preview in dynamic shadow mode doesn't work in other way: darkness/sharpness works, but shadow doesn't move in preview area. It moves under the real cursor only.

The second option should be fixed with the most current installer (same version number).

And when will the "Shadow Position" be fixed?   :(

Is this monitored by anyone who can fix this shadow issue?

Uninstall and reinstall from the product page.  See if it is fixed.

It's not Zu, been that way since this OP back last year. I have mine disabled because I don't like cursor shadows, but if I enable it and change X and Y, virtually nothing happens. Light and Cursor Height work though, but the changes do not occur within CursorFX itself on the Shadow Options area sample cursor, they happen to the actual cursor in use at the time, very annoying.  This would be in Dynamic mode, not Static.  Static seems to work now.

Not sure if he was using Static or Dynamic mode.
