Creating an animated mouse cursor?

[Yuutou]

The standard file for a mouse pointer is .CUR. Though, I can't seem to save my project as said file.

I'm a freelance artist that got my hands on Pro Motion NG and have been wanting to open up commissions for mouse cursors, so I really need to know what I can do. ^^;

CUR file is not animated cursor but single image cursor. So you find it under "Save Image as...". For animated cursors please use "ANI" format which can be found under "Save Animation as...".

Thank you so much! I haven't made a cursor for years, so I guess I forgot about that, hehe.

Just a tip: I haven't had a need for custom mouse cursors in years. Sure, having a different one in Win9x days when default cursors were crap to be honest, was kinda big deal, but modern default cursors are much better.

I think there's a bigger market for icons and so on.
