This one is mainly to add a hotfix that made the UI unusable for folks with high DPI setting...

But also managed to sneak inverted cursor support into the editor. To use, add an image size with "make inverted" option selected. Any translucent areas (not transparent, not opaque) will be used for inversion. Official docs/help will be added in an upcoming update.

UPDATES

• new: editor: added inverted cursor support
  
• fix: high dpi scaling breaking some UI elements
  
• fix: crash when certain cursors are observed
  
• fix: crash for older GPUs
  
• remove: cursor picker: removed "reset all" prompt. not needed since cancel button can just undo this.
  

NEXT

• new: steam workshop :D

First half of a major update...

The feature focus is now customization, starting with a new cursor editor. This is an initial version that supports regular cursors (.cur). Next update will add animated (.ani) and inverted color support.

Cursor size has been increased to the maximum allowed size of 256.

Otherwise routine fixes/maintenance as reported by the community. Thanks as always for the feedback. Some issues I could not reproduce, so I had to make a best guess at the problem and therefore fix. Please let me know if its better :) .. or worse :(

UPDATES

• new: cursor editor: open from taskbar icon. supports basic cursors (.cur files).
  
• update: increased max cursor size to 256
  
• improve: error reporting
  
• fix: launcher not launching yolomouse for some folks
  
• fix: potentially (could not reproduce) fixed taskbar popping up for some folks
  
• fix: hide overlay cursor choices when assigning to a fullscreen game (since this isnt supported yet)
  
• fix: cursor picker sometimes not hiding from taskbar when closed
  

NEXT

• new: steam workshop :D

Now for a slightly bigger update.

A new feature has been added to the cursor picker menu (CTRL ALT C) that shows all discovered game/app cursors instead of just the cursor you were hovering over. This allows you to rebind all game cursors in one go. It also makes it easier to rebind cursors that only appear briefly such as the gauntlet cursor in Diablo 3.

This was also an opportunity to redesign the cursor picker after much feedback. The layout was updated to support above feature, some buttons were relocated to where they make more sense, default and hidden cursor binding has been made more visually clear.

The hidden cursor has also been given a much asked for "static" feature. This simply prevents it from moving, which applies to games like GW2, FF14, WOW.

And several fixes and tweaks :)

UPDATES

• updated: redesigned cursor picker
  
• new: made all discovered app cursors selectable in cursor picker, instead of just current visible one.
  
• new: cursor picker option: "static" for hidden cursors. this prevents movement of the hidden cursor. intended for games like gw2, ffxiv, wow. not yet supported in dedicated fullscreen.
  
• fix: default language always being english
  
• fix: inverted cursor not showing in cursor picker
  
• fix: elevated 32bit games like DAOC and sometimes LOL not working.
  
• fix: reopening existing cursor picker focuses current cursor, instead of first chosen one.
  
• fix: improve font scaling at higher DPI
  
• fix: ym not starting from a remote desktop session
  

NEXT

• new: anticheat bypass to hide the game cursor for AC protected games.
  
• improve: current cursor picker ui: tooltips, preview buffs
  
• new: cursor editor
  

LATER

• customizable + scriptable 3d cursors
  
• steam workshop and something equivalent for regular version

Hi. Short break, back in action for more updates :)

Starting with a small one to address some concerns built up recently. First being a big fix affecting normal (non-admin) windows account users and fix that made Windows think YM wasnt responsive

Then a few QoL updates including Chinese language support, DPI scaling, and several cursor changer menu buffs.

The planned feature to select from existing known game cursors was almost ready, but moved off to next update to reassess the UI presentation.

UPDATES

• new: UI now scales with windows DPI settings
  
• new: Chinese language support
  
• update: reworked how YM starts to as admin. this provides several QoL improvements and fixes some major issues for regular account users.
  
• update: cursor changer menu: will now prioritize changing the game cursor over a window cursor. this only applies if a game uses a normal windows cursor (like hourglass, arrow, etc).
  
• update: cursor changer menu: notify when changing windows cursor.
  
• update: cursor changer menu: refocus/repick if activating while already in the background. this minor QoL change fixes alot of usability confusion :)
  
• fix: windows sometimes treating YM as unresponsive
  

NEXT

• improve: current cursor picker ui: tooltips, preview buffs
  
• new: cursor picker: show selectable list of all known game/app cursors to bind instead of just currently visible cursor
  
• new: add option to prevent hidden cursor movement. for 3rd person games like GW2 and WoW.
  
• new: anticheat bypass to hide the game cursor for AC protected games.
  

LATER

• cursor editor for basic cursors
  
• customizable + scriptable 3d cursors
  
• steam workshop and something equivalent for regular version
