Description
General InfoBack by popular demand...
Actually, I just finally got around to being able to spend some time with building X3
For those of you who have been waiting and wanting more colors... HERE IT IS!! YAYYY!!
This version has minimal animations (only the 'busy' and 'working' cursors) and includes Windows 8's full range of core accent colors.
Leave a nice comment or constructive feedback and enjoy!
UPDATES
Update Two: Nov 7, 2013
+ Improved crispiness and general graphics of all cursors
+ Applied Update One changes to all cursors
+ Changed help cursor from a ! to a ?
+ Made Light cursors truly light without visibility issues on certain backgrounds
Update One (for Bold set only): Nov 3, 2013
+ Improved roundedness and crispiness of Busy cursor.

In Progress

[Strings]
CUR_DIR Β Β Β = "Cursors\Metro X3 by exsess\Bold\Brown"
iIt is specified "Bold" instead of "Light" except Amber and Black and shows conflict in control panel

Your Metro X2 was one of the cursor sets that inspired me to make my own. Now you made X3 and it's a large improvement! Nice Work

Hi! Thank you!
After seeing your Cursor Sans, I think it deserves more exposure than it currently has. o_O
Your cursors are extremely well-made! Simplicity is always sexy.

I Kind of blame my self for that, I released it at v0.3, with just a white/blue pointer and no install script, by 1.0 months had gone by and it was off the "new" page :SΒ
I was at v2.0 by the time I posted it on customize.org, ItΒ stayed on the "Popular Cursors" list for months! got 800+ downloads there

Yep.. still good! I have win 8 mobile but still in doubts if I'll ever get the PC version of windows 8 so it's nice to try out stuff like this and pretend.. Again.. good job on the x3 cursors

i absolutely LOVE these!Β 2 suggestions :
1.Β Can you please make a version with smaller arrow?
2.Β add more fps to smooth out your awesome animations!

exsess In reply to Skrell [2013-11-02 18:39:46 +0000 UTC]
Hi! Thanks!
1. Perhaps if there is enough demand for a smaller arrow, I'll begin working on one
2. The fps in the mouse properties' preview properties is much slower than its actual speed, but I will try to make it smoother without burdening CPU usage too much
