Editing an animated icon or cursor

Microangelo Animator is used to create and edit these types of files.

Icon or Cursor?

  1. Cursors only contain 32x32 size images - Studio will enforce this rule when opening or saving resources. This is the only size that Windows desktop platforms support. Icons can be created in 32x32 or 48x48 sizes.

  2. Cursors have a hot spot. This is the pixel whose screen position is sent to your programs. Studio enables the Hot Spot tool when editing a cursor file.
