📋 About This Mod
DCF Plugin - Double Cursor Fix ============================================== http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/36125 Please endorse if you like it :)
v1. 3 Improve compatibility by removing CRT from plugin.
v1. 2: Proper method to hide/show cursor, now should work much better with BW_plugin. It also resolves no cursor or cursor appearing only after clicking after alttab. For more info read NOTES section below.
Borderless Window plugin for SKSE: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/36177
Fixes double cursor when alt+tab game. This is not poor AutoHotkey script or separate launcher/application. Works automatically at Skyrim start!
REQUIRMENTS: SKSE 1. 6.x
USAGE: Copy Data directory to Skyrim install directory
NOTES: Other similar mods/launchers (AutoHotkey scripts) make cursor transparent instead of hiding it properly, mostly because ShowCursor() does not work as expected for their authors. Function name is misleading, because MSDN documentation for ShowCursor() says that system have a reference counting for cursor show/hide operations. So app must hide cursor as many times as shown it to make it disappear from screen.
A lightweight SKSE plugin that fixes the double cursor issue when alt-tabbing out of Skyrim. With over 50,000 endorsements and 1.2 million downloads, it's a proven essential for players who frequently switch windows. Last updated in 2013, but remains a staple for classic Skyrim.
