Feel free to email me with a ZIP file.
Generally, the best thing to do is post it on your own server (web site or
FTP) and include a URL in your message.

I like the idea.  It won't take up too much CPU power, either.  Better yet,
make it a POV-Win plugin, so it can access the current scan line/percent
done information and include that!

Instead of "wallpaper", how about a Active Desktop component that would
display the current work in progress?

For full-screen wallpaper, I need 1280x1024.  I never bother though because
only a tiny bit of desktop ever shows out from around my many open windows.

You could post the POV source and let people render it at whatever size they
want.  Also, Windows has a way to load JPG images as desktop wallpaper, and
I think that's part of the "themes" package.  So maybe it won't be much of a
problem--just include JPG of each common screen size, at 100 - 250K each.

Yeah, well, you'd think I know by now about the JPG (GIF, PNG for that
matter too) by now since that's all I ever use. I was also thinking
about several unique images for the wallpaper but if jpg no matter
anyhow. The pov source is a very good idea. That way bmp could be done
"at home".

I uploaded the cursors in a zip file (24KB) at
http://hjem.get2net.dk/rsj/other/povcursors.zip
I think they'll stay there until the whole
theme is finished.
It's not too late to change them if you think
they need improvements.

They don't work. Part of them has black backgrounds.
There aree bit errors in the cursors, especially
the ani-files.

I downloaded the zip-file and all the cursors
worked fine on my computer. I uploaded two more
zip files which are copies of the original
but I don't think that makes a difference.
I also uploaded all the cursors non-zipped.
It's all at http://hjem.get2net.dk/rsj/other
I think that's all I can do.
Anybody else have problems with the cursors?
Anybody don't have problems with them?

They're great. All configured into my Windows theme nicely. Must have
been a bad d/l or other unforeseen circumstance for Markus.

I guess if it had been a bad download, the ZIP file would
have been corrupt. It was not. So I guess it's my video driver.
