Period accurate enlarged mouse cursor

[K-EAVKR]

I wasn't sure which forum to post this in. It does seem like Technical / UI modification might have been better but I believe this is more specific to Project1999 Green.

I have re-created the default Everquest mouse cursor to be larger (just the main arrow for the time being). Like many, I am unable to quickly find the mouse when in a busy environment or around lots of particle effects (or it blends in perfectly with a tree trunk). I may not be alone in remembering that was also an issue back in 2000 when particle effects started to get bigger and more colorful.

Finally, I understand even this modest increase of mouse size probably wont be noticable at all on super high resolutions (over 1080p). I am also aware if you just move, delete, or rename the file arrow.cur in both default and velious uifiles folders then you will have whatever mouse your system uses. Which wraps up why I decided to post this here instead of the General Technical forum as this is meant to keep but enhance the period correctness of the UI.

If this interests you, here is the cursor file: arrow.zip (987B)

HOWTO: backup /EverQuest/uifiles/velious/arrow.cur , extract 'arrow.zip' and place 'arrow.cur' into /EverQuest/uifiles/velious
