Title: Color Cursor
Post by: OS923 on October 19, 2020, 06:55:28 AM

What's the last version of the Color Cursor extension? I have version 1.0. This is 68K. I would like to have PPC.

It replaces the black and white mouse cursor with a colorful one. It's possible to edit the cursor resource. SetCursor is PPC. Unfortunately it was patched with 68K.

i have a bunch of cursors here - they are not part of my extensions collection since i don consider GUI replacements serious tools enough^^ -

unfortunately in all of them the "artists" have overwritten the version in the "get info", so you cant tell which version it is -

and i obviously do not have the original distribution.

I quit using this extension because there's no PPC replacement.
