Hi all,

it seems to be that only cursors that are managed by the OS get a shadow (Win2K+). However I've got
a lot of own cursors I'd like to have a shadow when used. Does anybody know what I have to enable to
get custom cursor shadows?

Ciao, Mike

Hi Milke.

I suspect that the shadow has to be part of the cursor image (by hatched
gray and transparent pixels in the intended shadow region).

Thank you for the hint, but I have already solved the problem by creating several cursor images (one
including an alpha channel for XP and W2K).

And how'd you do that?

What? Creating several cursor images, creating a drop shadow?

For both I used Microangelo (www.impactsoft.com).
