Cursors in windows

Hi all,
I am using cursors that use gif's for a project and they work perfectly in the mac. But they show up disproportionately on the pc.
Any idea.
thanx in adavnce,
Radha

check your aspect ratio on the 2 machines, I've not done anything on a Mac for about 15 years, so my info on them is fairly foggy. If the windows one seems it is streched to the side, then the aspect ratio (video card) is the culprit.

Maximum size of mouse cursor in Windows 8.1

What is the maximum size of mouse cursor in Windows 8.1?
I load cursor from 1000x1000 .png file using GDI+:
Bitmap *image = Bitmap::FromStream(pStream);
UINT w = image->GetWidth(), h = image->GetHeight();
HBITMAP bmpMask;
HBITMAP bmpColor;
image->GetHBITMAP(Color(), &bmpMask);
image->GetHBITMAP(Color(), &bmpColor);
ICONINFO iconInfo;
iconInfo.fIcon = FALSE;
iconInfo.xHotspot = 0;
iconInfo.yHotspot = 0;
iconInfo.hbmMask = bmpMask;
iconInfo.hbmColor = bmpColor;
hCursor = ::CreateIconIndirect(&iconInfo);
If it will be necessary, ask me and I'll provide full source code of application.
In Windows 7 all is OK. Cursor dimentions 1000x1000.
But there is strange thing - it scales on Windows 8.1 to 32x32 size. Enabling compatibility modes doesn't help. Is it OS limitation?
Thanks in advance for response.

probably. 1000x1000 is a large cursor size!

Wristwatch busy cursor for Windows XP

Does anyone know if I can get a hold of the old Mac Wristwatch busy cursor for Windows XP?
Windows XP Pro

Hi, Abi -
You can extract that cursor from OS 9 using Apple ResEdit. The wristwatch cursor can be found in the Finder file, in the CURS resource, items 2400 through 2406. Extracting those will give you the set of seven graphic elements that make up that cursor; as to how to make that usable in Windows, I don't have a clue.

Boot Camp: Early 2011 MacBook Pro boots to black screen with blinking cursor after windows 7 installation.

I bought and downloaded the windows 7 ultimate edition 64 bit iso, then proceeded to perform a correct burn to a DVD one at the slowest speed and one at the fastest. all went well. so I open Boot Camp assistant and follow the instructions to the letter, downloaded the driver support to the flash drive. partitioned my drive with more than enough room 150 gb. its starts its install. I get through everything seamlessly where I put in my info all with the exception of my activation code. yet it still continues to finalize the install and does another restart. boots back up to either A. black screen saying press any key to boot to my install disk. B. if I take it out just a white curser. also I read it may be because I had the flash drive in while I was trying to boot so I removed it as well, same result. any input would be much appreciated.

What's wrong with AWT cursors on Windows Vista?

I'm getting a weird problem on Windows Vista as I'm trying to create custom cursors in AWT -- the ones you create with the createCustomCursor() function in java.awt.Toolkit, that is.
The problem is that their hotspot point is offset quite a few pixels to the down and right, leading to quite confusing effects. I'm not at all seeing the same effect on either Windows XP or on Linux with X.org (though on the latter, Sun's X11 toolkit seems to limit the cursors to two colors, but that's another problem). Is this a bug, or am I really doing something wrong?
I'm using the following function to create a cursor:
    private static Cursor makeawtcurs(BufferedImage img, Coord hs) {
     Dimension cd = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getBestCursorSize(img.getWidth(), img.getHeight());
     BufferedImage buf = TexI.mkbuf(new Coord((int)cd.getWidth(), (int)cd.getHeight()));
     Graphics g = buf.getGraphics();
     g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, null);
     g.dispose();
     return(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createCustomCursor(buf, new Point(hs.x, hs.y), ""));
    }

Please ignore this topic. I found out that it's not actually the cursor that is wrong, but rather the window size calculation. On Vista, the window becomes larger than I request, and therefore the window coordinates don't match up against my logical coordinates.

For some reason, I don't see any cursor while typing on WIndows 8 mail client. The cursor shows up fine in other applications. Without the cursor it is difficult to see where I am typing! Is this a Windows 8 issue or some weirdness with Helix ?

No mouse cursor during Windows 8.1 OSD

Hi,
I have a problem that is bugging me. Not really a biggie but a frustrating one.
When deploying Windows 8.1 using a MDT 2013 TS from CM12R2 the mouse cursor gets disabled when the OS reboots into minisetup/windows.
As long as the TS is in WinPE all is fine, but once rebooted the cursor goes away and comes back only when the TS completes.
The mouse is enabled as I can fool around with it and find where it is by clicking like a madman until a window gets highlighted.
Deploying different DELL workstations/laptops, all with the same symptom.
BR /T

To my knowledge this is simply because of the Z-ordering of the windows during Windows setup.
The question though is why does it matter? You shouldn't be doing anything interactive a this point in the TS.

Openbox is window manager, not DE. You need a window manager with LXDE. See http://www.lxde.org/lxde for more information.

Controlling Mouse Cursor in Windows

In J2SE, i found java.awt.Robot that enable in handling mouse event and action. Now i want to handle the cursor using Java handheld. But i stuck here, that i cant found the class in J2ME. Are there anyway do this thing?
Please help..:(

Hi,
You can use bluetooth connection to send command to pc where ur J2SE program will listen to the command and control the mouse accordingly.
For example if u want to move ur cursor 50 pixels left, you can send command from ur mobile L50 which ur java program will receive and use java.awt.Robot to move the cursor.

On a certain website the window size has become so huge I cannot use certain features and am unable to reduce the window size myself. It went huge as I was moving the cursor and I have been unable to ajust this. How do I alter screen size manually?

Sometimes when moving the cursor the window size on certain sites reduces or increases. This happens randomly and I am not able to make it happen to change the size of the screen to my choice. The window on a particular site is now so huge I am unable to use features on there as they do not come into view on my window at all. Please help me on how to control this feature or in other words how do I increase or decrease the window size manually.

Black screen in Creative Cloud app 1.8.0.447 on Windows 7

Hi!
After updating the Creative Cloud application to the latest version (1.8.0.447), I have a blank black screen in the Home tab of the application. The Apps, Resources and Behance tabs work as they should.
Also, I noticed that playing any one of the "What's new" videos that pop up when starting an installed application (e.g. InDesign) gives blank screen. I can hear the sound of video, but there is no movie or playing controls whatsoever.
Everything was fine prior to the update. I have not made any other updates in between the two Creative Cloud versions (no Windows Update, no new graphics drivers). I am using Windows 7 Enterprise on HP Zbook 14 with dual graphics (Intel/AMD).
UPDATE: As i keep working, I discover more parts of the application suite that look similary (blank/black). Here's the new Adobe Color panel in InDesign.
Regards,
Jacob

Hello,
I had a simillar issue using my Notebook (Samsung Series 7 NP770Z7E-S04DE with Core i7 (3rd Gen) and a second graphics adapter (AMD Radeon HD 8870M). After upgrading from Win 8 to 8.1 i had really a lot of trouble because the OS update brought new drivers for both graphics adapters which obviously did not work together. I had to reverse the update because the notebook was not showing anything but the mouse cursor. Windows 8 had some other anoying bugs so I decided to ignore the warnings of my IT-Partner and Samsung and do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro. Since then I had the problem you, jacobwod, describe but I did not care because neither I used the Cloud-Space nor there were fonts available. Today I read your post and experimented with the settings. By accident I found out that enforcing the usage of the Intel-Chip (HD 4400 I think) for not only the creative cloud.exe but also a file called "adobe cef helper.exe" in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud\hex\" seems to be a solution. Thanks jacobwod for getting me on the right track.

Two "cursors" when in tablet mode

X61 tablet, Windows 7, RC1, 64 bit. , pdfannotator, onenote, office
When using the the tablet in tablet mode (screen folded down), I often will get two cursors on the screen when the pen is near or on it. This happens in various application software, but usually begins after using the eraser, or the flyout keyboard and tablet input menu.
The extra cursor appears above, and to the right of the actual cursor. Actual cursor being a pen tip "dot" while the extra cursor is a random symbol, ranging from another offset dot, to a very dark right click ring, to a very dark hourglass, to an i-beam shaped bar. It happens immediately when using grahl's pdf annotator, but has showed up in other programs as well including onenote, after using the flyout input panel in word, and a number of other programs.
I'm certain it has something to do with the tablet multitouch drivers, escpecially since the drivers for 7 seem to be a wacom dual-touch driver not designed specifically for the X61. Anyone else run into this trouble and come across a solution?

This is what Microsoft Support told me to do, and it worked, but I am stuck with a boring standard mouse cursor in Windows (no special Tablet PC cursors - for right click, etc.)
Step 1:
1. Open Local Group Policy Editor:Run... gpedit.msc
2. Navigate to User Configuration - Administrative Templates - Windows Components - Tablet PC - Cursors
3. Enable the Turn off pen feedback setting.
Step 2:
Go to Control Panel. Double click on Mouse. Find "Mouse Properties"
Go to "Pointer Options". Put a check mark in the "Display Pointer trails"
Slide the bar over to "short". Apply the changes and then restart PDF Annotator.
I'm awaiting Microsoft's reply as to whether there is some way to keep my original cursors without having the PDF Annotator problem.

How can I change the numeric format of the cursor coordinates display in LV 8.2

Since LV 8.0 or so the cursor display window of a graph indicator seems to be a tree control. I couldn't find where to change the numeric format of the numbers displayed in that control. What did I miss?

lecroy wrote:
Maybe I'm not clear on what your looking for but I just use a property node and route the raw cursor data out to what ever function I want to run on it, then display it in a seperate field. The nice thing with the property node is you can have multiple graphs linked together by one set of cursors all with different readouts.
Yes, of course that's an option and I guess I'll have to do it that way.
The point is that I converted a pre-LV-8.x program to LV 8.5. In the program I had used the coordinates display field in the cursor legend to display the position, just the was the cursor legend is supposed to be used, IMO. And in pre-LV-8.x days it was possible to customize the numeric format property of the cursor legend (either directly or by property nodes). It seems that with LV 8.x NI chose to use a treeview control for the cursor legend. With that 'improvement' the numeric formatting flexibility was lost since now the conversion to the string content in the cursor legend's treeview is happening somewhere 'under the hood'.
<rant> Why do they (NI) always try to 'improve' things (where nothing needs be improved) and sacrifice functionality on the way....? </rant>

HT1492 windows 7 boot camp black screen after install

Hi,
I have installed bootcamp on a 2010 white macbook with os 10.7
Windows 7 was install all the updates for apple and windows where completed. Everything was looking good and running great. This is my work computer and it has run boot camp previously on another macbook with the same specs.
When I restarted the computer to comfirm that all was good with both partitions the mac is running great, but the windows just locks on the black screen, no cursor, no windows starting.
I tried to start with the install disk in but after the black and white instruction screen the computer went back to the black screen.
I deleted the windows partition and tried to re-install but just got the black screen straight away and it will not even load.
When i did this I noticed that Parallels had been install on the computer I tried to start it and the windows 7 is asking for the install disk to be inserted and restarted to fix problems. I insert the disk and tried to restart but nothing happened again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. As i need to do school reports over the next week!
Thanks LC

Did you create a snapshot of Windows in Parallels to fall back onto if it won't work?
It sounds like to me you didn't pass validation, did you ignore those warning bubbles in the bottom corner?
Take the machine to a local PC/Mac geek and have them find the problem, it's too involved to go into here.

Black screen after login. Windows 8 is not opening

After login, I only have a black screen with a cursor.
Windows 8 does not open. Cannot get to "System Restore" or Control Panel.
HP hardware self- diagnostic tests were negative & didn't help.
Please offer possible solutions for recovery.

Then that does not pertain to your problem.
On Kaspersky Rescue Disk on another computer download and burn to USB stick or DVD to run a full scan on your computer.

Are you able to boot into Safe Mode to perform a System Restore?
