Okay. This will be something new, and will hopefully become a fad. I make mouse pointers for Microsoft, tested on windows 98 and xp. I also make xp desktop icons.Notice I would appreciate SLOW business since being homeschooled is even more time-consuming than normal school. I'm not implying I expect to be booming with business, I just want to be one of those one-post-a-day people. Sooo...yeah.
Those who know how to change their mouse pointers skip this part. If you don't know how to change your mouse pointer, I can at least direct you on xp(most windows systems are pretty much the same, though.) (If you can't already tell, my computer uses xp.) (More parentheses!) First, you go to start, and find the control panel. Click on it, and go to Printers and Other Hardware. Click on Mouse. This should open up Mouse Properties. Go to pointers, click browse, and find where you downloaded the pointer. When looking for pointers already on windows, they have schemes you can use in the text box labeled schemes, which are just sets of cursors of the same theme. You can find these cursors individually at C:\WINDOWS\Cursors.
I have no clue on helping you find the ones you downloaded, since I make them and don't have to download.
Those who know how to change Desktop icons, skip this part. For normal icons, just go to the icon on your desktopand right click. Go to properties, and depending on the kind of file, somewhere there will be a button that says change icon. The my computer, my documents, recycle bin, and network icons are different. You just go to control panel again, this time go to appearance and themes, and go to Display. Click on the tab called Desktop, and click customize desktop. You should then click an Icon, and click change icon. In the window that opens up, click browse, and find where you downloaded the ico. file.
Read this! Okay, this means that, although I plan on posting PNG images here, I will Email the requester the actual cursor or icon. So you must have an Email address and there will be attachments in the Email and you will have to download them. When you do so, use Save instead of Open so you can choose where it goes and won't have a hard time looking for it. I recommend saving it in My Documents. Again, these are only for windows, sorry.
Another thing to read. I put this in sprites and pixel art for a reason. I'm just like a spriter, just on a 32x32 scale. This means that my pointers are just moveable images. They can't sense when you move your mouse, and they can't sense when you click. That's your computer's job. I only make the pictures and shapes they take, and more importantly, no matter how much I wish I was, I'M NO COMPUTER WHIZ.
... I probably just chased off any customers right now....like a pop-up or something.
Another thing. The stuff I have up here is .GIF, so it will look gross against a non-white background. The normal cursors, however, won't. (Unless you have an older version of Windows.)
