Yeah, I saw that, but I'm asking for another solution to change the waitcursor. I want to change it, I'm doing everything, hack registry, edit dll files, anything, just to do it, but I don't know how to start.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] uniqueboy:
Have you asked in the thread where you got your taskbar and waitcursor from? Maybe the author of that can explain how to go about fixing it to your liking.:)

Edit, I too have the Omnia 2 and colour taskbar with blocky waitcursor, I've just copied out the shellres192.dll onto my laptop and opened it with reshack and swapped over the bitmaps from 4896 to 4911 with a set of scull images like my avatar but with an incremental neon glow (photoshop is my friend), saved it, re-signed it and voila nice new scull glow waitcursor. :)

RADAR Cursors

I have created these two cursors based on some cool Radar GIFs I came across on the web...

Enjoy!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jerrya:
Sorry for what may seem a dumb question, but couldn't find an answer. I keep hearing about having to change registry, or .dll files in order to make this work. Do I have to edit anything, or will this version automatically do that for me? The reason I ask, is I have a talent with computers where I will do the simplest thing, and it screws everything else up. So I really don't want to change a .dll file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Marshall07:
Hi JerryA,

using MWC3 dones't require you to change any dll or change the registry.

Simply install the program.

BTW, MWC3 doesn't change any dll: replacing the shellres.96.dll is a method to change the frames of the original Windows Mobile Wait Cursor.

MWC3 is a program that totally replace the original Windows Mobile Wait Cursor, not editing the shellres.96.dll but using its own cursor handler.

In this way it allows you to use transparent wait cursors made up of PNG files, while this is not permitted by simply editing the shellres.96.dll.

I hope my explanation will clear your doubts...

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jerrya:
Yes it does! Thanks for that. I will install today! Looking forward to replacing the boring and bland normal wait cursor!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Marshall07:
That was the reason why I decided to program MWC3... I was bored by the boring WM default boring wait cursor :)

Reply to: TheRem

Got that "Rubik" cursor working! Turns out it's really just a trick of deleting every other frame, then using the remaining 32 frames played at a slower rate to give the illusion that the removed frames are still there... I also resized them to make the animation more visible.

Enjoy!

Thank you so much..I love this app!! The possibilities are endless when it comes to creating wait-cursors! I'm a huge Philadelphia Eagles fan and made a few different eagles cursors as well as NFL waitcursors for all 32 teams. If anyone is interested they can be found HERE.

Thanks again for this amazing app! Seeing a waitcursor is no longer a bad thing

i am sorry but cant get this to work....the prog installs, but when i go to start/ mwc folder and press on config, it just dissapears,..(brings me back to the today screen) i tried from the windows folder too... got the config, selected the cursor, but have not seen anything changed except that i lost my stock cursor too....and i have no cursor now..............on htc hd2 with wm 6.5 stock 1.48 wwe , radio 2.08 with cht 2.0......what am i doing wrong?

MWC3 not working on Telstra HD2

+1. I would like to use this but can't get the Config program to load - it crashes and then wants to send a message to Microsoft. My ROM details are in my signature. Shame, as it looks like a great app. Do you plan to make it compatible with HD2?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Marshall07:
The MWC Config sometimes crash, probably when there's too few free RAM.

If you want, you can change the cursor and the other MWC3 parameters directly in the registry (using a registry editor like Resco Registry) at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Marshall\MWC3

to change the cursor you have to set CurrentSkin to the name of the skin folder (the skin folders are under \Program files\MWC3).

To apply the change, launch MWC Unload from the start menu and then launch MWC3 again from the start menu.

Any Updates to MWC3?

Marshall.....It's a great app and I have used it on many devices. I have not been able to use it since I started using my Verizon Touch Pro 2 / with WM6.5.....Any updates? The forum at you site seems to have been taken over by spam?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Marshall07:
Hi manbat!

Have you tried the workaroud in my last post? And do you have WM6.5.3 or WM6.5? Because I've tested MWC3 on WM6.5 (HTC Touch 2) and it works well!

BTW: My site seems normal... have you noticed some strange activity??

Bye

MWC3 now working on HD2

Tried your fix and I can now change the cursor to whatever I want - Gear Blue (Large) looks awesome. Shame the Config program doesn't work though as it would be sooooo... much simpler. Thanks for the fix.:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Humongus1:
Not to happy

First of all i have tried to install this on my t-mo HD2 and it crashed my device. I don't understand when in developing these applications, why wouldn't they be tested on specific devices. I spent quite a long time in personalizing my phone, yet when I have tried to uninstall this app it stays embedded in my registry. here is what im running on my device, maybe you can shed some light on how to remove it....

Manila version/ 2.5.20121412.2

ROM Version/2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE

Radio Version/2.10.50.26

OS Version/5.2.21892

I am aware of the risks in downloading Apps and that not all will be compatible with certain ROMS. I take full responsibility in what i download and respect the devs that work hard in making these killer apps.

Thank you for your time.:cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Marshall07:
Ops, I didn't notice all that spam in the forum. :eek: Now I've cleaned it! :p

Unfortunately I've got very few spare time and I can't dediacte myself to the development and fixing of the application. :(

MWC3 is a free application and it means that I don't earn money for it. So you can't expect all the support you can expect for a payed app.

Anyway, before the MWC3 release, I tested it (thanks to the users of this forum) on some devices but I guess you can understand why it couldn't be tested on ALL the available devices. Plus, HD2 was released AFTER the release of MWC3 and this also expain why it was not tested on it.

BTW, IIRC some users reported MWC3 to work on HD2; probably some other factors, like free RAM or other running applications, can interfere with the program.

lol,wm 6.5-works very crappy,i cant configurate app cuz i cant launch that config app. transparency dont work too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Marshall07:
To configure the app you can use the workaround I wrote some posts ago.

About the transparency, I've never heard about this problem. Could you please make a screenshot or a video to help me understand the problem?

As soon as I noticed this in the portal, I was "YAY finally I can have the dancing baby as wait cursor!!!!!111one"

But then I discovered that it apparently doesn't work with WM 6.5.5, as I can start the config utility, but as soon as I start the program, the wait cursor just disappears, no matter which one I choose.

Thanks for the advise rickychavhan.

Actually it's been ages since MarshallSkins.ilbello.com is down and I've repeatedly and constantly tried to contact the hosting company to get it back with no luck.

Those who followed this thread in the past know that I lost lots of data in my HDD due to a file system corruption.

Anyway, recently I was able to retrieve an old backup and I finally could retrieve at least the cab files.

I uploaded them in the first post and I hope you'll enjoy them.

Some users reported strange behaviours when installing MWC3 in Storage Card. You can try, but if it will not work, switch to device memory :)

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] skilty:
Hi Marshall,

Don't know if you remember me, but I sent you some cursors i'd made for MWC2.

Just tried MWC3 on my touch diamond, you've done a great job on the new gui/version but i have noticed a possible bug.

I've installed to the device not internal storage and i selected the flat bet cursor, but it sometimes shows the white diamond version for a few seconds and then back to flatbet?? does it randomly choose which cursor it wants to use?? or is it a bug?

Keep up the good work.... any idea on when more cursors will be available??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Marshall07:
You mean that you installed it on "device memory"?

It may be that you have two instances of MWC3 running (maybe you manually started it after changing the cursor or after the boot).

Please check with a TaskManager how many mwc3.exe are runnig and kill some of them if there are more than one. Or you can do a soft reset if killing doesn't work.

I'm working to release the cursor packs but I have some problems releasing the LARGE version.

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iTouch24:
am i setting the boot delay to 10 or the start delay ... can u explain the difference between the two
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Marshall07:
Boot Delay:

When the application will be loaded at boot, it will wait this time before actually loading.

Start Delay:

When the wait cursor has to be shown (some application requested it calling SetCursor()) MWC3 will wait this time before actually showing it. This is to avoid to see the wait cursor also for "light" operations...

If you want to give a try, try setting Start Delay to 0, then you'll notice that you will see the wait cursor even when opening the Documents folder and not only when opening the Windows folder.

Marshall

Nice app, thanks! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
I've installed it to the Storage Card and it seems to be working great. And I must say, you have truly outdone yourself with this latest version. Everything is so seamless and I love the new Config interface. Really great work man.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] djquick:
Looks Good Marshall, d/ling it now. Can't wait to try it
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reversehead:
Awesome apps but ...

Works great on my Omnia but I've found that

When I rotate the screen using "Rotation Service" of Qbus (hopes you know what it is), and the rotation service shows black screen with wording "Please wait..." and wait cursor in the middle, it still shows default Windows wait cursor, not the MWC skinned one but in other apps it shows MWC cursor perfectly.

Thanks anyway :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MACkjam:
Thanks for this. I installed to Storage card and seems to run fine. I have found that this app is quite resource intensive. It uses some 1mb of Ram and really eats up battery. Is this normal?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MACkjam:
Looks awesome. Where do I find these cursor packs as I couldn't find them on the link provided?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Marshall07:
:confused: It's very strange... I'll add it to the list of the things to check.

The memory usage is related to the cursor you are using. The more the cursor size, the more the RAM consumption.

About the battery I think you are wrong... MWC always stay sleep (you can check the CPU usage in any taskmanager) and it only wakes up when it has to show the wait cursor.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ibrythill:
Great app! I love it.

I've been using wm 6.5 for a while and I like the new waitng cursor, so I made one for 6.1 and MWC3. Hope you like it:D

EDIT: QVGA version added
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TheDude1120:
Can anybody make this cursor for vga??

can anybody make this into a cursor? I have a touch pro
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
I gues you have it only for VGA right?

Was looking for this cursor quite a while but for Qvga
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TheDude1120:
even though it has no transparancy, would you still be able to make an animated green marijuana leaf wait cursor that has transparancy ? Im not particular about this one, i just want something to match my marijuana theme

When I trie to download the icon packs, I only get

"404 Not Found

The requested URL '/downloads.php' was not found on this server. "

Can someone upload the packs to somewhere else? Thanks..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mr_deimos:
In case anyone's interested, i redone two of my cursors for VGA resolutions. The diamond cursor doesn't have a config file, just the images, so it's not ready to use. Just as previously, it is white to make recoloring easier. I included 63 frames, but it will probably be the best to use just half of them - only odd or even numbers (the first preview uses half the frames, the second uses all of them). When drawing the cursor, CPU already has a lot to do, so you'll never see it run as smooth as on the preview, and the only thing you'll gain by using all frames will be doubling the ram usage :P

It might be a good idea to update the small diamond cursors with these new ones (after resizing, of course) since this version should look a bit better - i gave the rotating objects some thickness so that they don't disappear completely when perpendicular to camera.

The ubuntu studio logo cursor (the third preview image) is a full, ready-to-use cursor with a config file. I also made it fade in when appearing for even more eye-candy :D

Feel free to use/modify/distribute packs :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jhw549:
I really like the Diamond Cursor, can't wait to see it in action... I must say though if possible try to use the one with full frames, the quality difference between the two is quite noticalbe... Excellent work ^_^
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mr_deimos:
Ok, i just tested the 63 frame variant of diamond cursor. As i said, it's not as smooth as on the preview but still looks nice. The mem usage is about 1.5MB - a lot for a small app like this, but bearable for devices with 128MB RAM. However, there seems to be a bug in MWC3 - the config utility displays only 2/3 or so of the frames and then freezes. When the cursor is applied before config app can freeze, it doesn't work properly too - only part of the frames is displayed and then it disappears.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TheDude1120:
can you make me an animated marijuana cursor please? i dunno how to do all this, jus load em lol
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jhw549:
Same experience here, I sat around writing the config file, only to have it blow up in my face... I'm going to attach the config file I created, just in case it is of use to anyone...

Also a request to anyone capable, or perhaps with this in their collection already. I would like to make a flame/fire waitcursor. The only issue with this is that I can't seem to find a suitable gif, ideas? suggestions? contributions?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] uniqueboy:
There are a few nice examples here of flame/fire gifs. Ilike the bulb.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jhw549:
eh, not exactly what I was looking for, I was kinda just hoping for a stand alone, realistic looking, flame...

btw, off topic, love the hammertime video... I mean wtf did they think was going to happen?
