Change color of mouse-pointer?

Hi,
is it possible to change the color of the mouse-pointer from e.g. the given black to red?
Thanks,
Michael

The subject is discussed (not very clearly) here:
http://www.mackb.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/mac-apps/18267/Cursor-color
There are various bits of software around which will change your cursor to a different image (though inevitably many of them are for Windows): some searching on Google will throw up plenty of this sort of thing.
Be aware that all these methods are in effect hacks: they may be unreliable or make your Mac unstable. Use at your own risk.

Color changes when moving mouse pointer

Hi,
I have an issue that, when I move the mouse pointer over the controls of the video (when playing quicktime movies in full screen) that it goes darker and looks a lot better!
But as soon as I move the cursor away from the controls, the image becomes brighter, loses contrast and on the side is a green oder pink stripe.
Funny is, it does that in quicklook too, but not only in full screen!
the weirdest thing ever is... it did that on my old windows machine too!!!!!
I thought when I buy a mac it will go away... but apparently not... very disappointing!
I have googled the whole internet, but apparently I am the only one with this issue... or maybe not?
Can anyone provide any help??

Okay guys, after waiting for two years, QuickTime X fixed this!

Change color of datatip point

How would I go about changing the color of the point on a datatip in a flex chart?

Right click on chart and go to format chart and use the tab Color Highlight and give the range and color to that range of values.

Change Color on mouse click

Hi Guys. I have followed Ned's code from another post, whereby if a text button is clicked, the color will change. The code is like
var clicked:Boolean = false;
var clicked2:Boolean = false;
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn1click);
function btn1click(event:MouseEvent):void {
    clicked = true;
    var newColorTransform:ColorTransform = btn1.transform.colorTransform;
    if(clicked){
    newColorTransform.color = 0xc97f22;
    } else {
    newColorTransform.color = 0x000000;
    btn1.transform.colorTransform = newColorTransform;
    gotoAndStop(5);
btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn2click);
function btn2click(event:MouseEvent):void {
    clicked2 = true;
    var newColorTransform:ColorTransform = btn2.transform.colorTransform;
    if(clicked2){
    newColorTransform.color = 0xc97f22;
    } else {
    newColorTransform.color = 0x000000;
    btn2.transform.colorTransform = newColorTransform;
    gotoAndStop(6);
Now if I click on the first button, it changes color and stays like that, which is perfect. If I click on btn2, this changes color and stays like it. The problem is that if btn2 is pressed, it should change color and stay like it (as it is doing), but btn1 should return back to its normal color (black). I am not sure how to achieve this.
Any advise appreciated
Cheers

When you mention something is from another post it is helpful if you provide a link so that the context of the code offered can be understood. What you choose as a solution might not be the optimum choice.
Use the following instead:
var newColorTransform:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
var btns:Array = new Array({btn:btn1, frameNum:5},{btn:btn2, frameNum:6});
for(var i:uint=0; i< btns.length; i++){
    btns[i].btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnclick);
function btnclick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
    var frameToGoTo:uint;
    for(var i:uint=0; i< btns.length; i++){
        if(evt.currentTarget == btns[i].btn){
            newColorTransform.color = 0xc97f22;
            frameToGoTo = btns[i].frameNum;
        } else {
            newColorTransform.color = 0x000000;
        btns[i].btn.transform.colorTransform = newColorTransform;

Changing size and color of mouse pointer...How? OSX 10.9.1

I'm having problems seeing my mouse on the screen. It's really frustrating sitting down and not finding it, immediately.
How do you change it? I just can't find it.

Change Screen Resolution = Mouse Pointer Disappears!

I am just moving to Arch from Ubuntu which i have used for several years. I am not a novice to linux, but I certainly don't know everything!
I installed arch on my pc last night, an old athlon xp with a radeon 9700 pro. I was going to try out KDE so I followed the beginners guide and successfully set it up. It booted and all was fine. Well except it set my resolution to 1024x768 and I wanted it at 1280x1024 which the monitor handles and is what I used in Ubuntu. So I opened the utility in KDE, based on xrandr I believe, and saw the 1280x1024 resolution. I selected it and Applied and the pointer disappeared. I could move my mouse and see the effects of the pointer hovering over buttons and other fields. So I managed to restart the machine thinking that would fix it, nope, still no dice. So I reverted to 1024x768 and all is good, except I would like to get more on my screen....
Also since I am more familiar with Gnome I thought I would remove kde and install gnome hoping it may make a difference. I successfully removed KDE and installed Gnome, went to change the resolution and had the same problem.
I am not sure what other pertinent information I can give. I will do my best to feed information to get this working. Thanks in advance.
Dave

Same problem, in a PC Atom N230 with Intel Chip 950, in new fresh Archlinux installation, but with last Gnome. After this, i have installed KDEmod 4.3.3 and the cursor show fine, only in Gnome cursor not show.
Any idea?
Edit: Oh, there are other post about this mouse cursor bug, sorry:

Change mouse pointer over selected text

I have a JTextArea and i want to change the default mouse pointer to the arrow pointer when the user points to a selected text. Just like the way JCreator works.!
Thanx

Try this :
Cursor textCursor = new Cursor(Cursor.TEXT_CURSOR);
Cursor arrowCursor = new Cursor(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR );
textArea.setCursor(textCursor);
textArea.addMouseMotionListener(new MouseMotionAdapter() {
     public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) {
          int location = textArea.viewToModel(e.getPoint());
          if (textArea.getSelectionStart()<=location && location<textArea.getSelectionEnd()) {
               if (textArea.getCursor() != arrowCursor) {
                    textArea.setCursor(arrowCursor);
          else {
               if (textArea.getCursor()==arrowCursor) {
                    textArea.setCursor(textCursor);
});I hope this helps,

Cursor (Mouse pointer) icon automatically changes

I am using Windows 8.1 and Office 365.
I have downloaded a mouse pointer icon in .cur format. I applied changes to the mouse pointer and it changed successfully. For sometime it will remain the same, but later (a few days) it changes back to the default pointer icon.What is the problem here?
Thanks

Hi,
I'm agree with Milos, we are not suggest user using 3rd pointer, it maybe had compatibility problem that would caused potential problem.

T43p - Mouse pointer freezes after changing the battery to a new one

Hello,
I have bought a new battery for my IBM Thinkpad T43p. In the description of the new battery I have seen that this battery is compatible with T43 series. Battery details are: DC 10.8V 5200mAh/56Wh. Replace: 08K8214.
My problem is:
I have ordered a new battery for my Thinkpad T43p but when I turned off the notebook and replace the old battery with the new one the notebook became strange. I use Windows XP Prof on this computer and when the login screen appeared and during I was typing my user name and password the mouse pointer was freezed and I had to turn off the computer. It was happened within approx 1 minute after the Login screen appeared. The symptom was the same with or without plugged in AC charger. I have tried several times and the same behavior was happened. When I changed back the old battery the computer became normal again without any freezing. The fan was working properly in both cases. The symptom is the same if I change the battery during AC charging and using Windows.
I don't have an idea about the reason of it. Can you help me with ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Slider

Pull the battery out and run the machine on AC only. Does it freeze now?
If it doesn't, the "new" battery needs to be replaced.
Good luck.
Cheers,
George
