JustCursors

For making simple cursors, professional image editors are sometimes overkill. JustCursors provides a more basic set of tools for creating and editing animated cursors. However, when we say basic, we mean basic. The program doesn't have a brush or a gradient tool, and the only available shapes are a rectangle and an oval. The palette is limited to 256 colors, and the color picker is badly organized. You can't import any images except from cursors themselves (CUR and ANI files), and, most perplexing, rather than undoing the last action, the Undo feature cancels all editing since the last save. The most attractive features are the freeware price and the tiny, 58KB memory profile. That said, JustCursors is perfectly serviceable for quickly throwing together a cursor for personal use.
