Illustrator problems - Version: 1.0.4, 7/24/2008 11:43AM PST

I thought the fact that you could make a smaller cursor for drawings in Illustrator would be helpful, as the Apple version won't allow a smaller cursor than the standard one, just larger. It worked great in all my other progs, but Illustrator would hide the cursor completely when certain tools like scaling were used, making Cursor Zoom useless. You can't draw with an invisible cursor. Shame, cuz for large monitors, having a smaller cursor makes drawing far more precise.
Great, but no longer

This perfect, simple, and elegant application was perfect for what it did: to allow the user to increase cursor size. In fact, it worked so perfectly that Apple incorporated it into the OS. CursorZoom, then, was now unneeded. I currently use Universal Access to do the same job.
Kind of. CursorZoom has another feature: whenever you're ready to finish an operation, the cursor would automatically float to the window. While most of us use Appe-Q or another keyboard shortcut, the floating cursor always kept the pointer in view. You don't even have to look for it.
But the news you're hearing is right. CursorZoom is no longerr the preferred app for this function - unless you're on an old OS. It doesn't look like it's going to be revived, though there is a shareware solution for doing the "zoom" part of the functionality.

I don't understand...
The new release (v1.0.4) says it "Requires Mac OS X 10.4"
But on the web-site it says "It is recommended to use the functionality provided by Apple, and not Cursor Zoom, if you run Mac OS X 10.4 or later."
What's the point in creating a new version only for 10.4, and then recommending users don't use it?
