Hey hey, just wanted to do a new quick tutorial on how to remove the link back that we leave your page. I'm telling you guys because though having a link back to our site is nice having an ugly advert on your page is pretty suck. It's pretty simple to remove it. First we will begin by removing all the red highlight.

<style type="text/css">body, a, a:hover {cursor: url(http://cur.cursors-4u.net/others/oth-4/oth392.cur), progress;}</style><a href="http://www.cursors-4u.com/" target="_blank" title="Cursors"><img src="http://cursors-4u.com/support.gif" border="0" alt="Free Cursors" style="position:absolute; top: 0px; right: 0px;" /></a>

Keep the rest of the code. It's that simple =D What about for Myspace 2.0? Well for Myspace 2.0 if you read our instructions on each of the cursor page, to not leave an advert on your site all you have to do is only follow step #3 and up.

For Freindster start from Steps #5. And for Hi5 starts from step #3 and upwards.

If you remove our link back advertisement we won't hunt you down. However we would appreciate it if you link back to us in a blog post or something. Saying something like "Hey! I got my cursors at Cursors-4U.com!"

So many comments lately about how to add cursors on myspace 2.0 All of them saying it don't work. Yet when I do it, it works =/ The problem is either the instructions suck, or people don't read the instructions and paste the first thing they see on the page. So here's How To Add Cursors On Myspace 2.0

Log into Myspace.com and choose Customize Profile.



Find Your Cursor on our Web site. Click on the Myspace Tab. Then read the "Myspace 2.0" instructions.



Go back to the myspace page and Click on CSS. Paste The Code (Frst One). Notice I skipped one step according to the instructions I wrote on the cursor...it should be okay to skip that step.



Next Prevew the page.



If the cursor appears, it means it works. Last but not least Hit the "Publish" button at the top left of the Myspace Page. Animated cursors do not load in Firefox. If you got any questions leave a comment.

I been getting a lot of comments lately, on How to get cursors from cursors-4u.com and How to Install Cursors On Your Windows Computer after you downloaded it. Remember that cursors on Cursors-4U.com is 100% free with no gimmicks. We do not bundle our cursors with software or anything dumb like that. All downloads are direct downloads which mean you download the cursor file itself. So it's safe and virus free.

1. Find The Cursor

Look through the site, and look for the cursor you want to use. The navigation of the site is on your left. Click on any of those links. You can also use the Search.

2. Download The Cursor

You can either use the provided code to place the cursor on your web page. But because this tutorial is "how to install cursors on your computer" you will most likely download the cursor. To download the cursor you first have to right click on the red image that says "Download Right click and save". If you use IE, you would choose "Save Target As..." If you use Mozilla Firefox, you would choose "Save Link As..."

3. Save The Cursor

Saving the cursor should be pretty easy. Once you right click and choose Save Target As...a dialog box appears (image below). Basically it ask you where you want to save the file. Choose an appropriate place where you will be able to find it. My Documents or Desktop is a good place. Then Save it.

4. Change Your Mouse Settings

This step is a little bit harder, since you have to do multiple steps. But once you do it once, it should be easier to remember.

1. Click On "Start"
2. Go To Control Panel
3. Choose "Mouse"
4. Click On "Pointers" Tab
5. Click Browse, Find The Cursor In My Documents or where ever you saved it, and click "Open" then click "Apply"

That's about it. Good luck. If you have any further questions, send me an e-mail. Thank you very much.

This is Part 1 of how to create cursors. So, I'm going to teach my first tutorial on how to create your on Cursors with Adobe Photoshop and Axialis Cursor. I often use the combination of the two because it's easy and fast. I'm going to show you how to draw a simple normal pointer.

First off start by creating a new canvas in Photoshop. I'm currently using Adobe Photoshop CS3 but you can use previous versions as far as Adobe 6 I think. All cursors are 32x32 and that is the size you want to use. Anything larger and windows will automatically resize the cursor to 32x32.

Next go ahead and create a new layer.

Next press CTRL + 0 to zoom in 3200% or 1600%. Most cursors are pixel art. But with Windowx XP and up, you can get more advance with cursors. I will teach that in Part 2 Of the tutorial but for now we are going to use the standard 32x32 256 color cursor.

Next grab the pencil tool. Pick any color you want. I choose #052a4b. Next draw about 25 pixels down along the edge. 8 Pixels diagonal to the right. 10 Pixels to the right. 18 to the left diagonal. Look at the image at how I drew it.



Next Go ahead and fill the cursor with a solid color. I choose #1a9bfd



Next right click the layer and choose "Blending Options"



Then choose Bevel and Emboss Use the settings in the image below or mess around with your own. Click on image for a larger view



Next check Emboss as well and use the settings I use below or your own. Click on image for a larger view




Next check inner shadow and use the settings I use below or use your own. Click on image for a larger view




You should have an image like the one there.



Right now it looks pretty cool as is, but lets tweak it out a little by adding some more highlights and making it stand out more. Grab the pencil tool again and start drawing in highlights. Be creative and do it yourself. After a few mintues I did something like below



And the final result is...



Save the image as a gif format. Next download and install Axialis cursor workshop. It's free for 30 days and is probably the best cursor software out there that I know of.

Open up Axialis, then Open up the image that you saved in Photoshop. Once it's open press "I" on your keyboard. It'll ask you to pick which format, just choose "32x32 - 256", Press Okay.



And that's it. It should convert it for you now. Next is to save the cursor. Press "CtrL + S" and save it. You can test it out before saving if you want. By using their test window in Axialis. Next if you want to use this cursor on your desktop computer follow my instructions below.

1. Click On "Start"
2. Go To Control Panel
3. Choose "Mouse"
4. Click On "Pointers" Tab
5. Click Browse,Find cursor, and click "Open" then click "Apply"

Below is are variation of cursors that I did with different cursors etc. You can click on the image to download them if you don't want to make them. Thank you for following this tutorial.
