LOTR - Themed Cursors and Icons, Anyone?
 

To Whom It May Concern:

I wasn't certain if this should go here or in Barrow-Downs. Please feel free to move it to a more appropriate forum. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

To Everyone Else:

No, I don't have LOTR cursors or icons - that's just the point. I'm trying to customize my desktop with Lord of the Rings pictures, etc. In particular, I want a sword cursor for my mouse pointer. Plus, I'd like a better icon than a file folder for My Documents. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Any ideas?

Wow, that is a really cool idea. Have you tried some sort of Google Search? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I am currently using an AIM buddy icon from www.badassbuddy.com. I HATE most of the buddy icons from there, but go under "characters" and on about the second page there's a Frodo/Gandalf one. My sn is FluteBunny10, if you can't find it.

I usually don't use wallpaper, but pictures from the movies. My favorite to use as wallpaper is the shot of the Fellowship crossing the bridge when setting out from Rivendell.

I used to have comet cursors. I think the url is www.cometsystems.com. They had a lot of different cursors, I can't remember, but I think they had sword ones. I didn't have it for long, so I can't say for sure. That's about it, I guess.

I wouldn't trust Comet Cursors, as I've heard they are spyware. If you run Windows XP, I suggest ThemeXP.org for boot screens and login screens and the like. Don't ask me about icons or mouse cursors.

Here is a list of Tolkien Downloads from C-Net. There is one Gandalf based desktop theme, 2 games, and an English Quenya dictionary for your Palm Pilot, (very handy if you are teleconferencing with Elves, I suppose.)

I haven't downloaded any of these, but I believe that C-Net does not endorse spyware.

If only I were allowed to change my wallpaper.

The gandalf Desktop thing is really cool. You have a yellow mouse pointer that well get a lightning aura arround it when you can do something by left-clicking. The dictionary does not work though. A real shame.
