This morning I put together a nice and easy installer that does all that manual work for me. Usually this means I have to download a zip of individual pointer icons and then manually assign them to the right cursors in the Control Panel, which is a bit annoying.Well, I don’t have to do this anymore. Although personally I’m not a Mac person, one of the first things I do after installing a fresh copy of Windows is change the mouse pointers to the Mac OS X ones. A quick and easy way to have Mac OS X mouse cursors on a PC running Windows 7, Vista or XP. * Requires only a logout to take effect, not a full restart.Here is a little something for all of you Mac-lovers who use Windows. * Conforms to Apple Human Interface guidelines. * Inline animated previews, so you know exactly how your cursor will look.
* Easily extensible - just drop new cursors into /Library/Cursors or choose "Import Cursors." from the File menu, and grab a whole folder full at once. * Uses the system authentication manager for total security.
* Built-in error checking - your system files will never be altered unless the patch occurs without error. * Easy-to-use interface, with a setup assistant for flexible backup options with no hassle. I apologize sincerely for the trouble I did not anticipate that Apple would change the format in such strange ways before the next major release.īeachball is a piece of software that will allow you to change the wait cursor (also known as the Spinning Beachball of Death, mostly because in Mac OS X 10.0 that's more or less what it meant) and now the arrow cursor (under Quartz Extreme or not) as well. When you upgrade to Mac OS X 10.2.3, you should delete the file /Library/Application Support/Beachball/CoreGraphics.bak and then allow Beachball to create a new one otherwise, your default cursors may also develop white dots, and you may need to restore your OS X 10.2.3 CoreGraphics file manually.
UPDATE: Mac OS X 10.2.3 breaks many of Beachball's cursors, and may result in either patch errors or a small white dot in the upper left hand corner of all arrow cursors (wait cursors seem to work correctly). Blobber also now supports plugins so you can download additional Blobs, supports changing the mouse pointer, and a tutorial to tell you how to make your own cursor replacements. It allows you to change the Wait Cursor (Spinning Pinwheel) in MacOS X Jaguar to one of many alternatives. Blobber is the premiere Wait Cursor changing tool for MacOS X.
