Change the mouse icon.

Hi all I need to change the mouse icon.
I'm using:
setCursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR);
buet the problem is that this only works inside the application. If the mouse cursors does out of the application (f.e. to the windows desk) the mouse changes into the typical arrow icon.
What I need is the mouse icon to remain as a sand-watch icon till some opperations are done in the application.
Thanks in advance.
Dani.

I believe this behaviour is controlled by the operating system. This is part of the pre-emptive multi-tasking system, the principle being that one busy application should not disrupt the rest of the OS (compare with Win 3.1).
So I don't think you can do that, and even if you can, you probably shouldn't

    I would suggest a new feature:The possibilty  to change the mouse pointer icon when you hover on an active link by any other one icon I select.

    Current Firefox versions have a feature called tear-off tabs.<br />
    You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.<br />
    You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.

  • How do I change the weather icon to my local weather?

    I am new to iPhone and have 2 questions:
    1. How do I change the wether icon from Cupertino and New York to local weather?
    2. How do I remove icons from the home page that came already installed? I tried pressing and holding until they vibrate but no 'X" appears to delete them.
    Thanks!

    1. How do I change the wether icon from Cupertino and New York to local weather?
    Select the i circle icon at the bottom right.
    Select the + icon at the top right to add a city. Select the red - icon next to a city on the list to remove a city.
    Select the icon at the far right of each city to move that city up of down on the list.
    Select Done at the top right when finished.
    2. How do I remove icons from the home page that came already installed? I tried pressing and holding until they vibrate but no 'X" appears to delete them.
    The default icons cannot be removed. The default icons will not have an X to remove them. Only user created web clippings will have the X and can be removed.

  • How do I change the "trash" icon to "archive" icon in email on my iPhone using iOS7?

    How do I change the "Trash" icon to "Archive" icon as the default setting in email using iPhone iOS7?

    That is very much dependent on your Email account. 
    Go to Settings->Mail,Contacts,Calendars->Accounts->Your Account->Account->Advanced->Move Discarded Messages Into.
    Choose Archive Mailbox.
    It may not be there if its not supported by your email provider.

  • Is there a way to change the default icon for a sound file in KN2

    i have need to include dozens of sound files on each slide that will trigger as text builds. i can handle all the transitions fine but i cannot figure out how to change the standard icon for the sound file.
    i would prefer to have the text be the icon, if that is not possible to have a smaller icon for the file. as i build the page i am ending up with a huge mess, icons covering text, also there is not a intuitive way to tell which sound file is which with out click/playing each file.

    Did you try:
    OracleBI/web/app/res/s_.../popbin/
    EX:
    line.pcxml Look for <SeriesDefinition ...
    we modified the line width and a few other things. You'll have to modify all the pcxml files for all the chart types you want to customize.

  • How can i change the default icon of a new folder?

    what i mean is like every time i create a new folder instead of changing the icon after its created, can i somehow change the default icon on a new folder i create? so when i create a new folder its created with the icon i want it to have?
    and i want to do it manually i dont want to use programs for it
    thanks

    why not? use LiteIcon then. it's free and is MUCH safer than mucking with system files by hand. if you insist you can do it as follows. go to /system/library/coreservices. control-click on coretypes.bundle and select "show package contents". go to contents-> resources. change the file GenericFolderIcon.icns with your own .icns file. back up the original bundle first.

  • Change the default icon for unsatisfied node

    Is it possible to change the default icon for the unsatisfied node (unsatisfied indicator). I have checked the UI content element with the same name, but it does not have the source file setting in it, so I guess it is hard coded. I tried to change the source file with the name unsatisfied_status.gif to a different image and it works, but this will be a system wide change. I want to do this as a model specific change. Has anyone done this before? Thanks in advance.
    Cheers,
    Biju.

    Did you try changing image name in UI edit page?
    UI edit page lists few images which can be changed for each UI, like unsatisfied indicator, logic status icons etc.

    Hi,
    I have created a web shortcut to my home screen, at the moment the icon defaults to a shot of the web page (although very small) and was wondering if it was possible to change the app icon ?

    Yes, if you can upload an icon to the webpage and change the HTML:

  • Changing the dropdown icon of af:selectOneChoice

    Hi,
    I'm lost with adf skin selector : I don't found any documentation of skinning the af:selectOneChoice. I would like to change the dropdown icon when the component is in "idle" mode, and when there's mouseOver.
    Regards
    Luc-

    Hi andre,
    thanks for your answer. In the demo, there's nothing that could help me with my problem.
    But I was wondering if changing the dropdown icon is even possible, since it's a component that has differents displays from os to os and from browser to browser : the java portability.
    So I don't think I could do that right ?
    Regards

  • I would like to change the mouse shortcut for ctrl-click to be shift-click

    Hi,
    basically I would like to change the mouse shortcut for ctrl-click to be shift-click - that is I want to harmonize my browser shortcuts and there are other browsers out there that open a new tab on shift-click, not on ctrl-click.
    How can i customize this?
    THNAKS!!!

    Firefox has always used Ctrl + left click to open links in a new tab and Shift + left-click to open a link in a new window.
    Maybe a tab related extension can change that behavior.

  • Using Custom Icons - Changing the Finder Icon

    So I know you can just do a simple copy and paste under "get info" in order to change icons for applications and folders, but how do you do this for Finder? I know this is possible, if not for the simplest reason that one of the downloads that Apple has featured on this site for icons has a Finder icon (bad logic I know, but it seems odd that Finder would be the only icon you couldn't change). The problem is, how do you "Get Info" on Finder? Where would you find finder (no pun intended)?
    Thanks in Advance

    Thanks for the help in finding the icon, the only problem is that it won't let me alter it. I even changed permissions on the bottom of the "get info" screen to allow the current user (also the administrator) to both read and write, but it wouldn't let me paste a different styled icon over it. Any suggestions on how to change the Finder icon to a custom one? And ya we were thinking about how we would change it back too, but realized its not really that big of an issue because all our friends and even we have multiple macs, so we could always just copy it back that way.
