Reviewed by: CNET Staff on December 07, 2008
Sick of looking at that same old cursor? Us too. Click any of the animated 3D pointers on CursorFX to view the change before you even close the app. CursorFX starts you off with a handful of well-designed cursors, from the prim, sleek arrow replacement to a lightsaber look-alike or a grinding gear. More freebies await in Stardock's online user gallery.
These basic cursor-changing functions are free to use, but those seeking more performative tricks can upgrade to the Plus version. $19.95 unlocks features that have your cursor dot the screen with color each time you click or leaving trails of bubbles in its wake.
Anyone can tweak the custom cursor's look and feel and can easily revert to the standard model if you need a reminder of what you've left behind. CursorFX integrates into the Mouse panel, takes only about 1MB of RAM, and does not slow the cursor's movement. This free application is a must-have for upgrading Vista or XP's look.

"Get rid of that boring mouse pointer for good!"
Pros: For mouse pointers, this is the best thing since cheeze! I can't say enough good things about the people that work hard to design these cursors and allow us to dwnld them for free! The selection available will take you for ever to go through. I was like a kid in a candy store! There's some real talanted folks from around the world behind these animated cursors. "Stardock", THANK YOU!
If you like dressing up your system graphics, this is a great start, then go to their web site and check out the other apps & stuff they have. AWSOME!!!
