Great cursors!
The orange light cursor install.inf has the below under strings:
CUR_DIR = "Cursors\Metro X3 by exsess\Bold\Orange"
SCHEME_NAME = "Metro X3 Bold-Orange"
Those should be light. I corrected in my local copies and got light installed ok alongside bold, just wanted to point it out so it can be fixed here. Thanks!
