iCursor is a funny and useless app for Mac OS X, it attaches to your cursor pointer a lot of particles. There are many customizable effects and you can also create and share new effects with other users.

Please note: multimonitor configuration isn't supported, iCursor runs only on the main display.

I keep losing my cursor on my 27 inch iMac screen! I looked around and only found Universal Access sizing, which gives you a pixellated cursor - not nice.

I found this app and it works fine in Snow Leopard 10.6.3.

There are some crazy effects and some which are quite sedate. You can also fudge around and make your own effect. The only problem is it is either all or nothing. It would be great if it would stop once the mouse was moved.

Not bad for free, but it looks like it isn't supported anymore.

Great app.

I did some changes to it and came out with this:

I love zelda games so this is great. I love navi following me around all over the screen,
the bad thing is that I can't use it in other space, just the first one, and if you use exposé it will also dissapear :(
still I love my navi :)

This program and the home page seem to be gone. Since it was freeware, would anyone be willing to e-mail me a copy at drtimothyjames@hotmail.com? Thanks in advance.

Re-thinking on the matter... more than a Pref pane, the real vocation of this cute software is to be a Menu bar application. Notice me as soon as it happens.

Beautiful...!!!!! Really beautiful...!!!

May be useless for someone, but for me is an amazing way to keep my cursor well located in an attractive and animated way that adorns my desktop.

I don't know how much CPU does it uses, but to prevent any overwork or eventual slowness I just minimized numbers and sizes, this way it don't distract your attention too much either.

GIOFX people: You should make a dedicated Preference Pane to incorporate it to the system itself.

Congratulations...!!!
And thanks a lot...

Just excellent for locating my cursor on a busy desktop! The theme selections are terrific!

Love it, works fine on a 17" iMac Dual Core running OSX 10.4.10.

As the description says "useless" but great eye candy when the kids come over.

Great work

This is a fun application. Most of the built in effects are cool. A couple of suggestions.

One, implement this as a Preference Pane instead of a stand alone application. I would prefer this for a couple of reasons reasons. The first reason is because it's icon wouldn't need to be in the dock. Second, it would continue to work all the time because it couldn't be hidden. Third, it could also be set to start at login with out adding it to the startup applications.

Two, move the Effects folder out of the /Applications folder and in to /Library/Application Support/

Three, allow for exporting and importing of effects. Maybe the developer could host user-submitted effect at his website.

A menu extra would be okay also. Some day we're all going to all need 50" screens all our menu extras from covering up our application's menus. This would allow for easy access to turn it on and off quickly.Actually the icon in the dock doesn't bother me as much as having an iCursor folder inside /Applications.

I agree 100% with you.
A Pref Pane will solve every disadvantage implicit in an open application. There, user could set it on and off as needed.

Fun little app. If you ever do more tweaking of the app how about getting it to show up in the menu bar instead of the dock?

Anonymous is a loser, lighten up dude.
