Version 2.2 (2016-05-11): I updated the Instagram cursor to reflect Instagram's new logo, while retaining the ability to select the original cursor.

Version 2.1 (2016-03-09): stylest brought it to my attention in the Discussions that the 18x18 pixel cursors might be too small for some display configurations, so I added the option to double the size of each cursor, to 36x36 pixels (except for the Rick Roll cursor).

Version 2.0 (2016-02-09): I learned a bit more about CSS, so I enabled selection of which custom cursors users want enabled. Added support for .doc links (and .docx links, using the .doc cursor). Added support for .jpeg links, using the .jpg cursor. Social media cursors are disabled by default. Added support for my RickRoll prevention cursor (http://freestyler.ws/style/133756/don-t-get-rick-roll-d-rick-astley-changes-cursor). If you want help making userstyles with these types of options, I recommend this: http://freestyler.ws/style/11990/style-setting-practice

Version 1.1 (2016-01-17): Added shadows to all cursors. Image sizes now 18x18px. File types changed from .gif to .png to accommodate transparency.

Version 1.0: initial version

Hover over the following types of links and your cursor will change:

-links that open in new tabs/windows (target=_blank)
-email addresses (mailto)
-file extensions (jpg, mp3, pdf, png, rar, rss, zip)
-links to specific websites (Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter, Vine, YouTube)

All icons are 16x16, and either drawn by me or modified from something I found somewhere. The CSS is very clear (mainly because my CSS knowledge is very basic), so feel free to modify it to suit your needs. If you want to turn off a certain cursor, just remove that chunk of code. If you want to add a new cursor, make an image and add some new code. Or hit up the comments with requests.

This userstyle is an expanded/modified version of New Window Cursor (Mac OS version) by cptnred: http://freestyler.ws/style/21916/new-window-cursor-mac-os-version
