Stardock CursorFX is a program that lets you use and create incredibly cool looking Windows mouse cursors. CursorFX is a utility which allows you to have much more flexibility in the cursors you use to interact with Windows. Adding a shadow under Windows XP and Vista was hardly a great advance and therefore CursorFX exists to give you more-much more. CursorFX users can create and use cursors that look and feel far superior to anything ...
