Description Edit 7
Hasn't been much heat on this recently. Maybe mah new watchers will be interested.

Good god! Edit 6.
Gee, I really thought I'd never be able to submit it again. Oh well! I got it!

As we trek along, I'd like to remind everybody commenting here that both =TheBigBadFish and *Gordorca are happy to make cursors for any subscriber out there!

Edit 5!
We've reached 50 sets of cursors, let's not stop here! Tell all your subscribed friends about this trend, I'm sure they'd like a cursor as well!

Edit 4, holy crap.
=TheBigBadFish has been so helpful in this project, and now it's time to bring in yet another potentially wonderful employee. *Gordorca , who made numbers 43 and 49, has offered his amazing services for the benefit of whoever would like a cursor from him! We now have two options in (don't forget, FREE!) cursor requests, not including me cause I'm busy as hell already!

Thank you, Gordon!

Edit 3:
Whoops! Thanks dearly to `electricnet , who caught my mistake in the CSS. New CSS here:

a:link {
cursor:url(URL), pointer;
}
a:hover {
cursor:url(URL), pointer;
}
body {
cursor:url(URL), auto;
}


Edit 2:
This is getting giganormous!!! Keep sending in all those cursors!

A GIGANTIC hug and thank you to =TheBigBadFish , who's made just under half (19/43) (23/51) of the cursors. He's given three five as gifts to our outstanding Gallery Directors, admins, and former admins, and is working soooo hard! If you want a cursor, he's right there for ya!

Edit:
A HUGE thank-you to =TheBigBadFish , who's made so many cursors. Go give him hugs!

Always waiting for files, guys! If you have a cursor, send me your links!

~~~~~

This is a project I wanted to start: Custom Cursors for your CSS! After seeing one in ~BenXT 's journal, I talked to *Jamaal10 about it, and he showed me the ropes. Now, I'm trying to get this idea to spread dA-wide!

You can check out my journal and the News Article for more information, and =DEVlANT , `CookiemagiK , =e-CJ , =SparklyDest , and many more deviants have advertised this for me as well!

The CSS is here, where you replace the URL being the downloadable link, such as an fc06.deviantart.com link:
a:link {
cursor:url(URL), pointer;
}
a:hover {
cursor:url(URL), pointer;
}
body {
cursor:url(URL), pointer;
}

Note: the "body" category is for your normal cursor, while the other two are BOTH your hover.

While I'm at it, I'd like to shout a huge thank-you to *Tyshea , who first advertised this for me and popularized the idea!

If you would like a cursor, but don't have the program/knowledge to make them, just let me know what you'd like, and I'd be happy to make something for you! =TheBigBadFish is actually making cursors now. Thank you!

So let's make this the best trend ever started on dA! We'll match up against the Pixel IDs started by `Endling and his friends, and give all subscribers a chance to add even more "unique" to their journals!

Should i post them seperately or as just one picture?

dbestarchitect In reply to Leonike [2008-08-06 04:26:50 +0000 UTC]

You want them separately, as the CSS calls for two images.

You can note either one of them, and they'll make you a cursor! =TheBigBadFish made almost half of the ones here.
