#===============================================================================
# Hand Cursor
# Author game_guy
# Version 1.0
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Intro:
# Tired of the boring, rectangle cursor you use for your window selection?
# This nifty script makes it so it uses an actual cursor like a hand or an
# arrow and displays it next to the choice.
#
# Features:
# Use Windows With or Without Hand Cursors
#
# Instructions:
# To use windowskins with cursor, place this in the windowskins filename.
# $cur then the system will detect it and use a hand cursor instead of a
# rectangle cursor. This way if you want you can still use normal rectangle
# cursors as well.
# Example: 001-Blue01$cur
#
# You can also change the X and Y offset, go down to begin config, and change
# the numbers.
# X_OFFSET ~ X coordinate for the cursor
# Y_OFFSET ~ Y coordinate for the cursor
# Its recommended to leave it as is for its at a pretty good setting.
#
# Compatability:
# Not tested with SDK.
# Should not conflict with anything.

Author's Notes

Enjoy. If you have any weird window displays in anything let me know.

Nice script game_guy. I'm just curious, is there some sort of specification on the cursor size? Like, 32 x 32?

It uses a 32x32 area from the windowskin. Here's what it could look like.
That hand cursor is a 32x32 area. Normally a rectangle cursor would go there.

Its more of a limitation of how windowskins are supposed to be setup.
