Change Mouse Pointer Look

Hi,
I have a show/hide layers behavior setup on an image - when
the image is clicked. It works just fine. However, when you hover
the mouse over the image, the mouse pointer doesn't change to the
hand, like it would with a link. Is there any way to get the mouse
pointer to change to the hand when it is hovering over the image?
Thanks,
Lynn

Open the page in DW. Select the image and look at the
behaviors panel.
Change the Event from onClick to <A> onClick, using the
drop-down list of
events in the behaviors panel.

Catalyst: Mouse Pointer looks weird on one monitor

Hi, i just installed a fresh Arch system (2.6.35-ARCH) and I'm using Xorg (1.9.0) together with the AUR-package "catalyst-test". Now when i start up a desktop environment (i tryd twm and openbox), my mouse pointer looks weird on my right monitor but normal on my left, which is my primary.
Right Monitor (the square on the left is my mouse pointer)
When i tryd to make a screenshot of the problem the image just showed me the mouse pointer as its supposed to be, so i had to make this picture with a camera. The mouse pointer is fully functional just its look is broken. I never had this bug before when using the same hardware together with Arch. When I changed my xorg.conf so that my right monitor is the primary one, the mouse pointer looks weird on the left but is okay on the right.

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,

How to change mouse pointer

I would like enlarge or change the color of the mouse pointer. Can anyone help

No, they didn't. I am running 10.7.3.

How to change mouse pointer to Arrow?

When we move the mouse over any component in preview (or in SWF file), mouse pointer changes to u201Chandu201D. Is it possible to keep the mouse pointer to Arrow or any other custom mouse pointer in Xcelsius 2008 SP 4?
Thanks

Mouse over cursor is set to ARROW if the component is not selectable
Eg:pie chard which has no drill down or no furthur selection is enabled then the mouse over by default is ARROW.
If you have enabled any furthur selection for that component the by default mouseover is HAND .
This holds good for all the components in Xcelsius (even in sp4) Except for tab set container component where the selection of tabs is displayed with Arrow symbol.
New features that sp4 provides is 1)Waterfall chart 2)Alerts are supported for spreadsheet tables, and for
combination charts.

Changing mouse pointer using setCursor()

Hi- I've got a single threaded JFrame-based application in which I want to change the mouse pointer to indicate 'busy' when it's doing stuff eg. loading a file. So within my extended JFrame method for handling menu selections I've got:
public class Layout extends JFrame
    // For items in the main menu
    // (the sub-class contains either a JMenuItem or JCheckBoxMenuItem).
    abstract class MenuItem implements ActionListener
        abstract JMenuItem menuItemAbs(); // get the menu item component
        abstract void handlerAbs(); // perform the menu's action
        // Menu item has been selected.
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
            Cursor cursor = Layout.this.getCursor();
            Layout.this.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
            handlerAbs();
            Layout.this.setCursor(cursor);
        }But the mouse pointer doesn't always change. If handler() just does some processing without user interaction, the pointer does change. But in the case of loading a file, where first the user selects the file using a JFileChooser, it doesn't.
Is this because JFileChooser does its own setCursor()? But even if it does, presumably it does another setCursor() to restore my WAIT_CURSOR before it returns, so why don't I see the WAIT_CURSOR while the file is loading (which takes seconds)?
Cheers
John

Edited by: matth1j on Nov 12, 2008 2:15 AM

Ok, thanks - full demo program below.
When you hit the ok button (just 5 second sleep), the mouse pointer changes to 'busy'. It reverts to normal if you move the pointer off the frame, but goes back to 'busy' if you move it back onto the frame.
When you hit the bad button (brings up file chooser, then does 5 second sleep), the pointer changes to 'busy' while the pointer is over the frame, and reverts to normal when the pointer is moved off the frame. But if you select a file or cancel the file chooser and move the pointer back into the main frame before the 5 seconds is up, the pointer doesn't go back to 'busy' again. I would expect it to show 'busy' while over the frame until the 5 seconds is up.
Any ideas?

Changing mouse pointer

I would like to be able to change my mouse pointer to something
other that what set_application_property cursor_style can do for
me. I would like to be able to call a mouse pointer from the
file system and replace the the pointer in my forms app.
Thanks in advance for any direction that can be given.
Roland

If your Mouse cursor is in a DLL you can do:
Set_Application_Property(CURSOR_STYLE,'<DLLNAME>cursorname');
For this to work you have to load the above DLL first using
ORA_FFI.LOAD_LIBRARY().

Change mouse pointer for Assessment Simulation

Hi there-
I have an assessment simulation - and I need the users mouse
pointer to change to a crosshair (I think that's what it's called)
when the mouse is over a certain area on the screen. Is there
anyway to do this? I know it can be done in a demonstration for the
pointer in the demo.
Lynn

Authorware allows access to the system's mouse 'library', but
it also
allows full Windows File System access too...which could have
security
issues. So it's certainly possible...but, agreed, who knows
whether such
functionality would be integrated into CP.

Change Mouse Pointer Shape

Is there any way to change the shape of the cursor by using applescript?
My script is doing some work wich can require a number of seconds to complete. I would like the user to be informed by changing the shape of the pointer to the standard waiting animation used by OS X.
Thanks in advance

If you are referring to the spinning rainbow wheel, that is not a wait cursor, that is "the application is not responding" indicator. To follow Apple's Human Interface Guidelines, you should use a progress indicator - my preference is the BP Progress Bar.

Are there settings on Adobe elements 8 for how your mouse pointer looks?

I am using Windows 7 and have 3 pointers for my mouse icon on elements 8 and cannot figure out how to get rid of the extra 2. I cannot do much of anything with the program.

You probably need to set the dpi scaling as per the directions here:
(even though it mentions the organizer the same fix works for the triple cursor)

Lenovo G550 - Keyboard/Mouse/Pointer Issues - PLEASE HELP Tech suppport couldn't.

I spent over an hour on the phone with Lenovo tech support last week to try to solve this issue and it is not solved. The guy had never heard of it and kept researching how to fix it. I personally have this feeling that it's a very very simple issue but I can't figure out how to correct it. I've changed mouse/pointer settings and it still isn't working. I love my new laptop in every other way but i'm getting so frustrated with it I'm ready to send it back because of the problem with the mouse/pointer. So if anyone could help me I'd appreciate it greatly.
I will be typing and out of nowhere the cursor will move to wherever the mouse is...or it will highlight everything I just typed and delete it. I've had to type much slower and keep moving the mouse but when i'm working on my projects and typing away and highlighting/editing, I get into the work and it's a pain in the rear when the cursor suddenly moves a paragraph up and I am still typing away and sometimes don't realize it until i've typed another two sentences. Hence the typing slower.
Today it deleted discussion posts I had typed up for my online classes before I had hit submit. Causing me to waste another 30 minutes trying to retype what I'd already done. I was ready to throw this laptop in the garbage.
I decided to not do that and post in this forum in the hopes that someone will be able to help me.
Thank you,
Komal

@ shelagh

Mouse pointer rather slow

After changing mouse pointer acceleration in control panel to maximum, mouse pointer is faster, but still rather slow. At least slower, than it is with windows7. In windows7 it´s one move from left to right. In Windows10 I have to move twice. It´s an asus
notebook with mouse-pad.

Hi poet-man,
If you mean the mouse-pad device, I suggest you check if there are any latest driver for it.
If you upgrade from previous operating system, it is recommended to uninstall the device from device manager restart your PC to check how it works.

Can I change the look of the mouse pointer?

I was wondering if it’s possible to change the look/style of the mouse pointer just like you can in Windows?

Unsanity's Mighty Mouse is the only one I know of that can.
They also have this page of cursors they've already made you can use with the program.

The answer helped me.But still, what are the settings that I have to change for the behavior of the mouse pointer towards finder? Also the mouse pointer sometimes doesn't accept my command and start clicking itself.what is the problem and how to fix it?

The answer helped me.But still, what are the settings that I have to change for the behavior of the mouse pointer towards finder? Also the mouse pointer sometimes doesn't accept my command and start clicking itself.what is the problem and how to fix it?

If the mouse clicks something on its own then it looks like you have a hardware problem with the trackpad or possibly the battery that is right underneath the trackpad.
I have read that the battery can swell and that would put pressure on the trackpad.

Mouse pointer changes to Black & White circle!

Hello everybody,
I wrote this script and saved it as an app called "Sleep":
tell application "Finder"
eject disk "STORAGE"
end tell
tell application "System Events"
sleep
end tell
tell application "Sleep"
quit
end tell
This has worked perfectly except when the computer wakes, the mouse pointer is the black and white circle. Everything still works normally (I think), but it is really annoying.
Is there anything that I can add to my script to change my mouse pointer back to normal?

Hello
Try removing the part telling your applet to quit, which is not necessary unless your applet is saved as stay-open.
The modified script would look like:
--SCRIPT
tell application "Finder"
eject disk "STORAGE"
end tell
tell application "System Events"
sleep
end tell
--END OF SCRIPT
Hope this may help,
H
