Color depth of the mouse cursor

Upgraded to srss 4.2 yesterday and discovered the addition of Xrender support. After enabling it the mouse cursor switches to an animated one. This looks really horrendous, since the mousecursor is displayed in black and white (1bit color depth). Does anyone know how to increase the color depth of the mouse cursor? The screen is configured with a color depth of 24 bits

Gnome 2.16.0 on RedHat 5.3 with Metacity as windowmanager. The mouse displays just fine, but is was real bw non animated before Xrender. Now it is animated and the animation is converted to 2 bit, including dithering for shadows. Regard this as an esthetical bug. A resolution would be to search for a 2 bit mouse theme (or create one)

On startup Mac Pro I get a blue screen and a cursor on the upper left. The mouse cursor shows up independently. Is it likely a video card failure?

On startup Mac Pro I get a blue screen and a cursor on the upper left. The mouse cursor shows up independently. Is it likely a video card failure?

I managed to boot the computer and get the desktop to show. I now have a "repaired" computer. There are several problems that have cropped up. One is that I can only start up now in Safe Boot mode. Is there a way to turn it off? Also, I do not have a sound list, so I can't access anything requiring audio. Google Chrome only shows up as a white screen. Pictures that loaded before don't load in browsers, etc. Any suggestions? I figure I should reinstall Mac OS Lion for starts, maybe even do a mirror backup and reformat the drive. I think this drive has turned into scrambled eggs...what a headache!

How to change the mouse cursor icon type when mouse moves out of client area ( propertysheet) WTL?

I got stuck with an issue in property sheet .I want to load different cursor when the mouse position is within the client area and load another when moves out of the client area.
In the porpetysheet I added four page. In the first page when I click next I am loading cursor of IDC_WAIT type and loading IDC_ARROW when the mouse moves out of the client area.
In the page class I triggered the event for WM_MOUSEMOVE as follow:
MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_MOUSEMOVE, OnMouseMove)
LRESULT OnMouseMove(UINT /*uMsg*/, WPARAM /*wParam*/, LPARAM /*lParam*/, BOOL& /*bHandled*/)
if(TRUE == m_bIsNextBtnClicked)
::SetCursor(LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_WAIT));
else
::SetCursor(LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW));
return TRUE;
This event is getting triggered and absolutely had no issue with this. Similarly I tried adding `MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_MOUSELEAVE, OnMouseLeave)` this event making an assumption that this will get triggered if the mouse moves out of the client area, but
this event did not get triggered at all.If this is not the mouse event to be triggered for mouseleave which event should I trigger?
LRESULT OnMouseLeave(UINT /*uMsg*/, WPARAM /*wParam*/, LPARAM /*lParam*/, BOOL& /*bHandled*/)
::SetCursor(LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW));
return TRUE;
Now when I click Next button , **I was actually calling a function which is taking sometime to return** . Before to this function I am loading IDC_WAIT cursor i.e.,
`::SetCursor(LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_WAIT));` .
Now when move the mouse cursor on to the non-client area I want to load IDC_ARROW cursor i.e.,
::SetCursor(LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW));
When the moves on to the non-client area I am handling the mouse event in sheet derived class as follows,
MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_NCMOUSEMOVE, OnNCMouseMove)
LRESULT OnNCMouseMove(UINT /*uMsg*/, WPARAM /*wParam*/, LPARAM /*lParam*/, BOOL& /*bHandled*/)
::SetCursor(LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW));
return 0;
This event is not getting triggered until unless the function in the Next button event is executed.
I want both of them to be done in parallel i.e, click Next button now hover mouse on the client area, Busy icon should come and when mouse moves out of the client area then IDC_ARROW icon should come.
LRESULT OnWizardNext()
::SetCursor(LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_WAIT));
m_bIsNextBtnIsClicked = TRUE;
BOOL bRet = MyFun();
m_bIsNextBtnIsClicked = FALSE;
//Until this function(MyFun()) is executed **WM_NCMOUSEMOVE**
//event is not getting triggered.But this event should get triggered and I
//should be able to see the change of cursor within and out of client area.
Can anyone kindly help me to solve this issue.

Get rid of the mouse cursor when on desktop touch devices

Hi there,
I'm using sap.ui.commons controls to build my application. However, this application will sometimes be used on touch devices like large touch screen HDTV connected to a desktop Windows PC.
When clicking on a button, the button gets focussed. However, as clicking on a control moves the mouse cursor, too, the button gets a mouse over look and feel and the focus style applied.
Is there a way to disable the mouse over events and style sheets for desktop controls in an easy way? I want to get a similar behaviour like using an application on a device without a pointer (like a tablet or smartphone). No mouse over, no focus.
Regards
Tobias

Hey Tobias,
have a look at this Thread: javascript - Disable hover effects on mobile browsers - Stack Overflow
It helped me and might contain a solution to your problem as well!

Getting the name of the window under the mouse cursor

Hello All
Is there a way to receive a window name of the window under the mouse cursor? All windows in interest are LV windows, and all of them works separatelly. After the mouse click I would like to get the window name.
The reaso nfor asking is that I have a sequence of setting of different windows. I need to create a doccumentation and I need all windows front panels send to MS Word.
I thought that my application can read the window names and by using the LVwutil32 get the front pannels of the windows and send them to MS Word.
Problem is that in the library I do not have a function like "Window on Top.vi" or something like that.
Anyways, the problem for me now is how to get an active (most top) window
name?
thanks
Pawel

Hi Pawel,
I found the following VI in my "trunk" that I made a while ago (written in LV6.0.2). It returns the active VI (and thereby) the Window name. Mayby you have some use of it, but I believe this is what you want. Only works for Windows though.

Why does the mouse cursor move to away from the currrent application without the mouse being moved

the mouse cursor moves away from the current application without the mouse having been moved - this started with the new version - re-installing Firefox makes the problem go away for a short period - re-installing is not a solution
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== a few days after installing 3.6.3

Hello Jim.
It's probably one of three things:
#your mouse is getting old (this behavior is common in old optical mouses);
#you have software that is making your mouse cursor behave unexpectedly (I know of an option in Windows that will automatically move your mouse to windows buttons...);
#or you may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

Making the mouse cursor invisible.

I am currently in the deployment phase of software made for two touchscreen kiosks.
When moving the applications over to these kiosks I realized that we needed to make the mouse cursor invisible.
I have tried the
Cursor cursor = new Cursor();// ALthough i was unable to find a cursor constant that gave me an invisible pointer.
testFrame.setCursor(cursor);
Any ideas how I could remove the pointer from view alltogether?

Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
Image image = tk.getImage("yourPicture.gif");
Cursor invisibleCursor = tk.createCustomCursor(image, new Point(0,0), "invisible cursor");I usually use a 1 x 1 transparent gif.

Bookmark shortcut is not working if the mouse cursor is focussed in flash plugin.

I was trying to open bookmark panel using shortcut keys [ctrl+shift+B] when the mouse cursor is focused with flash plugin. But it fails to open. But i clicked the page and tries it again it opens the bookmark panel.
Try with the following link
[Eg: https://learnable.com/courses/a-crash-course-in-mobile-web-design-195]
This may or may not be a issue.
Its just a suggestion..

You're welcome

i want to turn my macbook air off. the shut down button already appeared but the mouse/cursor just hang and won't work. even after pressing the enter button to shut my mac off won't work. what will i do?

This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
The mouse moves, but does not work.
The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
Firefox 18.4%
Activity Monitor 0.9%
Firefox Plugin 0.2%
This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6.

I am using Firefox 16.0.1 on a macbook pro using 10.7.5 software.
When I access a picture directly, I am unable to advance the photo forwards or backwards using the mouse/cursor or the arrow keys. The same is true if I use an external mouse.
If I use Safari as the browser, I don't have this issue.
This problem just started a couple of days ago.
All had been working fine.

[SOLVED] How do I autohide the mouse cursor in xorg?

My Google Fu isn't working for me today. I've found references to autohiding the mouse cursor in xorg, but no examples. Anyone know the right incantation for xorg.conf?
Last edited by eerok (2008-02-14 18:42:11)

From the man page:
unclutter removes the cursor image from the screen so that it does not obstruct the area you are looking at
That's my reason, anyway.
I mostly use the keyboard, so often the mouse cursor is just an eyesore. I can move it out of the way, but why not hide it altogether?

My mini loses the mouse cursor when it goes to sleep

Since I upgraded to OS X 10.7, my MAC mini loses the mouse curson when it goes to sleep. I am able to use the mouse to "awaken" the system and get the home screen, but the system will not display the mouse cursor. The only thing thast will recover the mouse cursor is to reboot the syste,.

going to sleep means disabling the network connection to save power
so what you're asking is not really possible
unless you can change what going to sleep mean on your computer
in the power saving settings you may be able to set going to sleep to just turn off your monitor
because thats pretty much the only thing that can go to sleep if you still wish to use it over wifi
