how to edit cursor animations (.ani) in GIMP
this may not be the right website to submit this but i'm going to anyway
i was looking online on how to edit cursors in gimp and it's pretty simple once i found this program AniTuner http://www.gdgsoft.com/download/anituner.aspx
all you do is load the .ani into anituner and then export each individual frame to .ico files, then you'll load those .ico's into GIMP for editing, once you've exported all of your edited frames from GIMP you'll load these back into anituner to create your .ani file, and you're done, i hope this will help someone that wanted to figure this out like i have
editing the aero cursor for windows 7 from blue busy/working icons to green is the sole reason i wanted to edit cursors in gimp
