from WinCustomize Forums
Hi,
why doesn't anyone do CursorsXP for lefthanders?
How can I flip the ones I already have?

That's a good question. Being left handed, I would also like to have one.

In the CursorXP configuration you can mirror you cursors.
In the bottom right hand corner click on options, then click on the preferences tab. There you will see the option to mirror your cursor.

Just a near miss ....

You can use mirror option in the preference tab ....

Not sure-- it may only be an option in CursorXP Plus. May not be part of the shareware edition.

I'm a right-handed left-mouser (go figure...). Really like the flipped cursors. Be aware that the "?" and other characters in the theme appear in mirror image.

Some of cursor sets is neutral. For example, my own cross cursor series.

...im left handed as well, but i use the mouse with my right hand. However, that is a good thing to wonder. I beleive there are neutral cursor sets out there (pointing directly upward). I dl'ed one somewere in teh DA library a while ago...

Yes is a CursorXP Plus option.

and I wouldn'd want to have a mirrored questionmark etc.


You can edit the image for them. Rename the .CurXPTheme to .zip, extract. For images that are backwards when mirrored, open in graphics software, flip them horizontally, save. When have all the way you want select all images and .ini, send to compressed folder, rename back to .CurXPTheme.
You can then delete the .zip of the original.

Thank you very much! At least I can now unpack and pack them again!

Now, I've tryed it with 'ArtCursors'... but it's not done with just flipping them, I'm afraid ... some pics start to roll, instead of just being flipped, and other Problems.
... And my trial version will be expired tomorrow ... .

Was just a quick reply earlier before work, if a single frame image can flip, but yes if an amimated png image it would be a flip then rearrangement of the frames of the image to have it look right.

...too bad - that's impossible for me to do ...

CursorXP Plus is only $10........

... and it doesn'nt work with some animated cursors.


- It can not be that difficult, to do some real (good!) ones for lefthanders anyway ... !


I like many others as well... but at least, can somebody pleeease flip 'Amantes Sunt Amentes' for me?!
