Changing cursor color? magnifying glass?
Anyone recommend a 3rd party set of cursors to use in Logic?
I'd love to have a bright red cursor that I could easily see.
Also, I'd love a magnifying glass tool. Some of Logic's text is just too small to see at the resolution where I'm basically happy with 95% of it.
Not sure if any of these will work with the Intel Macs, but you can ask the developer to see if they do:

You can find many other Mac software titles on my FAQ http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html

Be aware system hacks like these can often break when the operating system updates, so check for updates of any such hack before upgrading your operating system.

Customizing Cursor Color and/or appearance: Does anyone know if you can change cursor color in Mountain Lion? Any software for customizing and saving different cursors for Mountain Lion? Already have cursor size changed, but would like more options. Are more cursor customization options coming in future Mac OS X versions?
There may be some haxies/3rd party s/w that can do this, but I've not heard of them.
Customisation is limited on macs, unless you start hacking deep into the coreservices of the system - dodgy at best and almost certainly to get reset on the next update from Apple central
Think different? Nooo....that was just a slogan. -
can i change the cursor color beside changing its type ??
I thought Toolkit.createCustomCursor was used for this sort of thing.
You don't seem to be able to capture the Image representing a system cursor, however, so can't base a custom cursor on changing the colour of a system one.
You could probably get around this by using a custom cursor for your entire application (or at least the part that requires its colour to change) and use colourised versions of that as appropriate.
Hope this helps. -
Zsh change cursor color to indicate vi mode
Hello, I have written this for the .zshrc to change the cursor color to red when in cmd mode on the zsh command line.
zle-keymap-select () {
if [ $KEYMAP = vicmd ]; then
echo -ne "\033]12;Red\007"
else
echo -ne "\033]12;Grey\007"
fi
zle -N zle-keymap-select
zle-line-init () {
zle -K viins
echo -ne "\033]12;Grey\007"
zle -N zle-line-init
bindkey -v
It works well in urxvt however my tty does not know what to do with the escape codes so It just prints them to the command line. Is there any command for changing the cursor color that is for urxvt only? I think this would fix the problem.
Thanks,
AndreasCool! The extra $TERM conditional works. Thank you.
With xterm the color changing does not work as well, the cursor color only changes back to insert-mode-color once text is being typed.
This is working for me. I may simplify it later.
zle-keymap-select () {
if [ $TERM = "rxvt-256color" ]; then
if [ $KEYMAP = vicmd ]; then
echo -ne "\033]12;Red\007"
else
echo -ne "\033]12;Grey\007"
fi
fi
zle -N zle-keymap-select
zle-line-init () {
zle -K viins
if [ $TERM = "rxvt-256color" ]; then
echo -ne "\033]12;Grey\007"
fi
zle -N zle-line-init
bindkey -v
There are many colorname choices in /usr/share/X11/rgb,txt
You can also add colors. Or just use rgb values directly, apparently. More about the color stuff here.
EDIT: You can just use the hex as you defined it in your .Xdefaults:
echo -ne "\033]12;#83C048\007"

CSS code to change cursor to magnify symbol on hover over specific images
Hi to you experts out there! I'm having a problem getting my CSS code to work. (I'm using Adobe CS4 Design Premium)
The web pages I'm working on are a gallery of images, with linked thumb images to the left which when clicked show the complete image on the right of the page. All 'main images' can also be clicked on to link to the next main image along, corresponding to the order of the thumbs. However, some 'main images' when clicked on are linked to larger, full page versions of an image. In this instance I want the user to see the pointer/cursor to change from the little hand to a magnify symbol when hovering over these specific main images. This is where I can't get the css code to work/achieve this.
For your info the main images reside in '#main_image' div. There is a compound CSS Rule for the main image pic called 'main_image a img', for a 2px, white border. There is then a hover state for this 'main_image a img:hover' where the border changes colour. (the main pic is assigned the ID 'img')
I have created a new compound CSS Rule for specific main images, where I want the cursor to change to a magnify symbol, again corresponding to the '#main_image' div, named 'main_image a zoomin' and also a hover state, 'main_image a zoomin:hover'. These two still have the same border attributes as above, 'a img' and 'a img:hover' (these main pics have been assigned the ID 'zoomin'). However, this is where I have also added CSS code for the cursor change. I have tried 15 or so variations of the following, without success:
#main_image a zoomin {
cursor: url ('images/magnify.cur'), pointer;
[then the border attributes...]
and...
#main_image a zoomin {
cursor: url ('images/magnify.cur'), -moz-zoom-in, auto;
[then the border attributes...]
What am I doing wrong? This can't be difficult! Would welcome some help please!
(Within the root directory: WinVista(C)/local_sites/sjcillustration/images' there are two files 'magnify.cur' (a downloaded img) and 'magnify.png' (my custom img - created in Illustrator, which I would actually prefer to use, but can't export as a .cur file). )Call me Capt. Obvious, but why can't you put a "magnify" icon next to or below the thumbnail image along with the words "Click to Zoom?"

Double Cursor - Hand, Magnifying Glass etc
I'm running CS3 Extended on a Dell Latitude 830 laptop with a Dell bluetooth mouse and a Wacom tablet -- the tablet plugs into a USB port. I'm seeing two hands, two magnifying glasses, two selection tool arrows, etc. Fortunately, only one brush tip. How do I get rid of the doppleganger? It doesn't affect performance, but it sure is annoying. I have a second laptop with a different bluetooth mouse and have shut that off (machine and mouse) thinking it was picking up an extra signal, but it doesn't make a difference. Am out of ideas and can't find a similar problem posted anywhere. Advice gratefully accepted.
I tried every combination of having the peripherals off and on and also completey removed Photoshop and reinstalled it and still have the doppleganger. I think it is a Windows issue -- this new laptop has a high resolution display, which makes the icons in the tool palette so tiny I can't see them. The double cursor started when I reset the resolution. It appears that my display is now set for "multiple monitors" which I don't have. I can't get it back to just the primary monitor so will call the Windows "help" people today and see if they can help. Is there a way to increase the size of the icons in Photoshop without tinkering with the screen resolution?
Thanks for your response to my initial question. -
Hello,
I've got a simple coloring book that I'm developing. I've got most everything working but I'm having trouble getting the cursor to pick up the active color from a color array.
The cursor is a movieclip called "mycursor_mc" There is a movie clip inside this called "CursorFill". I am trying to get the "CursorFill" movie clip to change to the currentColour value from the dynamic property array index.
This is the section I was working on but it's not working:
var mycursor_mc:cursor = new cursor();
addChild(mycursor_mc);
var m = new CursorFill();
mycursor_mc.addChild(m);
Here's the whole Action script:
//Array to hold the colours
var colorArray:Array=new Array(0xE97DB1,0xF58240,0xF9ED41,0x82C34D,0x00B0F0,0x935CA4,0xFFFFFF);
//A new instance of the colour transform class.
var colorTrans:ColorTransform=new ColorTransform;
var currentColor:int=0;
//This adds the ovals on the stage with the corresponding colour from the array
//and with the mouse click event.
for (var i:int = 0; i < colorArray.length; i++) {
var marker:Sprite = new Sprite();
marker.y=500+i*50;
var c = new MarkerFill();
c.buttonMode=true;
marker.addChild(c);
colorTrans.color=colorArray[i];
c.transform.colorTransform=colorTrans;
c.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ovalsClick);
c.arrayIndex=i;
var o:Outline = new Outline();
marker.addChild(o);
addChild(marker);
//This creates a new instance of the cursor movie clip and adds it onto
//the stage using the addChild method.
var mycursor_mc:cursor = new cursor();
addChild(mycursor_mc);
var m = new CursorFill();
mycursor_mc.addChild(m);
//Hides the default cursor on the stage so it will not be shown.
Mouse.hide();
//Adds an event listener onto the stage with the enter frame event which
//repeatedly executes the moveCursor function.
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveCursor);
//This function set the x & y positions of the custom cursor to the x & y positions
//of the default cursor.
function moveCursor(event:Event) {
mycursor_mc.x=mouseX;
mycursor_mc.y=mouseY;
//This sets the currentColour value from the dynamic property array index.
function ovalsClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
currentColor=e.currentTarget.arrayIndex;
//Adds the mouse click event to the holder.
holder.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, holderHandler);
//This function changes the colour of the movie clip inside
//holder when it is clicked.
function holderHandler (e:MouseEvent):void {
for (var i:int = 0; i < holder.numChildren; i++) {
if (holder.getChildAt(i).hitTestPoint(mouseX,mouseY,true)) {
colorTrans.color=colorArray[currentColor];
holder.getChildAt(i).transform.colorTransform=colorTrans;That's strange. Try tracing few things to make sure everything works as it should:
function ovalsClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
currentColor = e.currentTarget.arrayIndex;
trace(e.currentTarget, currentColor, colorArray[currentColor]);
var trans:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
trans.color = colorArray[currentColor];
m.transform.colorTransform = trans; -

LR4 White balance tool changes to magnifying glass
I just upgrade to LR 4. However in the develop module, whenever I choose my white balance tool and then hover over the image it changes to the magnifying glass. If I click, all it does is zoom in and out. The circle where the WB tool lives, is blank like it usually is when the tool is selected.
I've checked for stuck keys and still have same result.
Win 7 pro x64hmm.. I posted on here. Left LR open and did some other stuff for a while. Came back to color correct WB tool-less and vola all of a sudden it's working. we'll see for how long

Change image or color of search magnifying glass
I was able to change the color once via SP2013 color pallet but my company has decided to move everything to CSS due to the number of sites that we will have to create.
Is there a way to change the image to the right of the search box?Hi Grady,
SharePoint 2013 introduced the display templates, branding elements has been made a lot easier. Like for instance when you want to brand the search
box on your site you could do that.

How do I change the size of the tools and the text for the menus in Photoshop? I need a magnifying glass in order to make out what they are.
Okay, I've figured it out, so I'm going to answer my own question in hopes that it may help anyone else that would like to actually be able to see what they're doing when using Photoshop CC 2014 on a high resolution screen.
1. Open Photoshop.
2. Select Preferences from the Edit Menu, then select General.
3. Change the HUD Color Picker to Hue Strip (Medium).
4. Select Interface from the Preferences menu on the left side of the dialog box.
5. Change the UI Font Size to Large in the Text area of the Preferences dialog box.
6. Select Experimental Features from the Preferences menu on the left side of the dialog box.
7. Select Scale UI 200% for high-density displays (Windows only).
8. Click on OK, then Exit/Quit Photoshop.
9. Open Photoshop and everything should be readable. -
Color picker missing magnifying glass
My system color picker is missing the magnifying glass to select any color from anywhere on the screen. It is missing in all applications. How do i get that to show up?
Not sure why they changed this in Yosemite! But here's how you can use the eyedropper to pickup a color:
1) Click on the eyedropper (on left bottom of palette dialog) - it will turn blue
2) Drag and drop the color chip to the left of the eye dropper to an area of the screen where you want to pick up a color
3) You should now see the magnified color picker and this will allow you to pick up a color -
Is anyone aware of a way to change the color of the cursor from black to a lighter color? White or a light gray would be ideal.
I am working with a document that has a dark background that even shifts to black in certain areas. The problem is that I can hardly ever see the cursor so I often loose my place while jumping around doing edits.
I know that hiding the background would let me see the cursor however since I am using a light font hiding the background would require that I switch my styles back to dark colors and then back again and that would be a pain.
RobI'm sure there are a number of third-party system utilities or haxies that can do this. I suggest a search on MacUpdate or VersionTracker, perhaps looking for "cursor" to start.

Changing textfield cursor color in Forms
Hi All,
We are using Oracle App Server 9iAS and 9iDS. I need to change the color of my cursor for the text field/or change the cursor to a block cursor in forms application. Does any one know how that can be done ?.
TIA
SaurabhSaurabh,
changing the color of a cursor is more difficult than changing its shape. You can use a PJC to change the cursor shape to one of the standard shapes. If you need a custom cursor then you still can used a PJC, but designing your own cursors in Java is not trivial.
See:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/products/forms/demo/9i/javabeans_pjc_samples/mod_cursor/viewlet/pjc_modcursor_viewlet.html
which is available in the Forms 9i demos at

UITextView: changing the color of the cursor
Hi all!
Is it possible to change the color of the cursor in the UITextView?
Thank you,
LucaI've found out that in this way it works:
[[myUITextField valueForKey:@"textInputTraits"] setValue:[UIColor redColor] forKey:@"insertionPointColor"];
but I cannot understand whether it is allowed by Apple and if an app using it could be rejected.
Any idea?
Thanks,
