I need help with custom cursors

[Lynch, Jonathan]

Your welcome, Chris...

One thing Chris pointed out to me upon his experimenting with this - he
said that 16x16 images worked fine on WinXp as long as black was not
used. This could be useful in avoiding having to make different sets of
cursors for cross-platform distribution.

For anyone who is even remotely interested, Jonathan has figured out  
this little problem.

It turns out that using black in the cursor images is the problem.   
So use some other color very close to black (RGB 1,0,0 for example)  
instead of black.  Then after importing your image into Rev, use  
Rev's pencil tool to change a pixel or two, then just undo your  
changes (I'm not sure what exactly this does, but it doesn't work  
without this step).  Then just set your cursor like normal.  Works  
like a charm.

Thanks again, Jonathan.

Chris
