A powerful editor in an integrated workspace

Axialis AX-Cursors features an editor with advanced functions and painting tools: gradients (vertical, horizontal, radial), lines, rectangles, ellipses, text insertion, mirror, rotation, clipboard cut/copy/paste (with scale options and automatic color conversion if needed), 3D Frame, multiple brush size and shape, up to 16 undo/redo, advanced palette support, transparent drag & drop, fill and more. This new version allows you to create multiple images static cursors (several colors and sizes in the same cursor) and a fantastic feature will permit creating an animated cursor from an Autodesk FLI file!

The application has a fully integrated workspace. All the tools are easily available on screen. The interface is multi-documents enabled. It means that you can display many cursors on several visible windows.

Compile and redistribute your cursors

An exclusive function allows you to compile a cursor library (or a selection of cursors) into a stand-alone executable EXE file that you can distribute freely. The user of this EXE file will be able to view, extract, print cursors and customize Windows!

Powerful Librarian with previews

Use a powerful librarian to easily manage all your cursor files. This is a dockable window (which can be hidden) where you can store, move, copy and extract all the files you're using in your work (static and animated cursors, libraries). It supports many functions : read/write ACL cursor libraries, rename cursors within libraries, full drag & drop support, multiple import/export, selective display, dockable librarian and much more!

Also, you'll be able to save your cursors directly in the librarian. Retrieving them will be done in a click.

Customize Windows® cursors

A very useful built-in utility will allow you to customize mouse cursors in Windows 95, 98 or NT 4.0 simply by Drag & Drop.

Modify cursors in programs

Program files (EXE, DLL, OCX) contain cursors. Of course, you'll be able to extract them to create independant CUR and ANI files. But that's not all: a powerful feature permits you to open program files and modify embedded cursors directly. With AX-Cursors add your own touch to third-party applications!
