The "acur Picker" file included with this document contains an animated cursor, or acur, resource picker. You need ResEdit 2.1 or better for this to be of any use to you. To install this picker, open up the “acur Picker” file with ResEdit and copy everything in it. Now, open ResEdit itself and paste the resources in it.
The acur resource is simple a list of cursor IDs. It’s a convenient way to store what order to animate which cursors and keep track of which one is currently displayed (while in memory). ResEdit has a template for acur editing, but no way to graphicly show what cursors are in an acur resource.
I included “Sample acurs” file so you could immediately see some acurs. (It has the best acurs I’ve ever seen in it.) Open the acur type picker and you’ll see the cursors that are referenced within that acur in a list similar to the PAT# picker. If for some reason the picker can’t get a cursor resource, it will display a gray box in it’s place. Also, it only uses cursors in the file the acur is in.
This picker does everything that I need to do, and I can’t think of anything more to add to it. If you are dying to have something added or changed, have some ideas for other pickers or editors, bug reports (gasp!), etc., just send me some sort of mail (Email included) telling me what you think. Even if you think it's just fine the way it is, or even if you absolutely despise it, send me something.
