CursorFX is a free program that allows users to customize their mouse cursors in ways far beyond what Windows is capable of doing on its own.  CursorFX is the replacement for CursorXP which only ran on Windows XP systems.  CursorFX runs on both Windows Vista and XP, and updates the Windows mouse cursor engine to support fluid animations, alpha blending, effects, real-time shadowing, user-action mouse states, mouse cursor resizing on the fly, color changing, trails, and much more.

A gallery for CursorFX cursor themes is available on WinCustomize.com to download hundreds of free mouse cursors, trails, effects, and more.  CursorFX is a free program. A plus version is available for $19.95 that adds more features.

The cursor in Windows is one of the first things I like to change on my desktop.  There are such a wide variety of them available from simple to wild, and just as many to match all kinds of visual style suites.  One of the coolest things about these cursors are the animations that people come up with for them.  I wanted to show some of my favorite cursors I have found over the last couple of weeks.

To use these cursors you need to download CursorFX, and there is a free version available.  You use these on either XP or Vista.
