Very nice script there m8. I was looking for something like this for a long time now.. It will go nicely with my Quake'like website :D
Thanks!

With the advent of cursor:url() in FX, I don't particularly see the point in this.

Well cursor:url() doesn't work in Opera, and in Mozilla its only 1.8+ :( . So i thought maybe someone will like this solution. And i see that QuakeMaster did - thanks m8. ;)

It appears as if there are two cursors and one is a couple seconds behind(Opera 9). Personally I would just use CSS and if a browser didn't support it to bad for you.

Great overall, but it kind of "flickers" in FF. A nice script though all the same :)

It's a nice effect. I think the problem with most custom cursors though (using DHTML, not CSS for example) is the unnecessary scrollbars they create when you move the mouse to scroll the page. It's quite unattractive to the user when that happens.

Well i updated the script now it doesnt generate horizontal or vertical scrollbars, in IE, FF and OP. ;)
P.S. i also included some aditional colored cursors. :cool:

Actually I still get the h/v scrollbar, in Firefox anyway in on this demo page. The only way is probably to detect when the mouse is too close to the edges of the window based on the cursor's dimensions, and hide the cursor in that case.
