Id like to see some real looking animated flames mine always look like crap

Thanks for the idea. I bet many people wold love to have an easy way to add animated flame to their cursors.

Unfortunately drawing a consistent animated flame manually is almost impossible. The tutorials found on web are not worth much. Flame is too organic and only people with lots of experience and artistic talent are able to draw a good looking flame and even they have trouble with animation.

So, what's left? Using computer to do the hard work 😊. I started working on a script that would add flames based on particle systems, but run into a problem - I would need to extend the scripting capabilities of the cursor editor first (actually move something from the icon editor to the shared part).

In short - you'll have to wait for the next version of RealWorld Cursor Editor. Then you would be able to create flames like this in a few clicks:

Hot damn! (Excuse my small pun :D)

I predict this effect is going to be overused to the Nth degree.
