Custom icon NEXT TO the mousec cursor

I've been pondering on how to make it possible to add a custom icon next to the mouse cursor.
When the user clicks on a specific component in the gui and starts to "drag" it, an icon should be attached to the mouse cursor that shows that the component is attached to it. Sort of like a tiny icon below the cursor to the right.
Anyone done this and can share some info?

You could put a java2d to draw a picture next to the mouse.
if you made this transparent and on top of everything then that wod work.
OR
You could change the mouses image to the icon. But i dont know how you would reposition it.

  • Ok...so I have the latest version of iTunes...why isn't there a cloud icon next to the movie I just bought?  I assume I need it to download from iCloud.

    Ok...so I have the latest version of iTunes per response to my previous question.  Why isn't there a cloud icon next to the movie I just downloaded?  I assume that's the only way to access movies on the cloud.  ( My computer shows the icon.)

    What are you trying to do? If the movie is on your iPad, the cloud icon will not appear next to the movie. You will see the cloud icon next to the movie if you delete it from your iPad and then you can download it again. That is assuming that the movie is eligible for a free download as not every movie can be downloaded again for free.
    This is a screenshot of the purchased tab in iTunes on my iPad. These movies are already on my iPad so there is no cloud icon next to them for another download.
    What I don't understand is for what reason are you trying to access the movie? If you want to watch the movie, it is in the videos app. Maybe that is where I am missing the boat.

  • New icon next to the battery....never seen it before

    Hi
    I noticed today that my iphone has a new icon next to the battery meter at the top right hand corner of the screen.
    The icon looks like a phone handset with 2 rows of button under it.
    I have looked at all my setting and can't figure out how to make it go away or how it got there.
    Does anyone know what this is or anyone have the same icon?

    TTY, also known as Text Telephone Device or Telecommunication Device for the Deaf (TDD), is a special device required at both ends of the conversation that enables people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or speech-impaired to use the telephone to communicate. TTY works by allowing people to type messages back and forth to one another instead of talking and listening.

    If you see this symbol in the status bar, it means that TTY is on.  Choose Settings > Phone to turn TTY on or off.

    Hello Debbie,
    I would be concerned as well if my iPad was not recognized by iTunes.  Thank you for providing all the information with the steps you took in regards to this issue.  I found an article with a few more steps you can take (you can skip the steps you have already taken):

  • In the videos I've seen a thumbnail icon next to the bookmarks icon. Mine is missing. Any idea why or how to get it.

    In the videos on the website I have seen a thumbnail icon next to the bookmarks icon for viewing all your open web pages. Mine is missing.Any idea why or how do I put one on?

    Safari now uses tabs in iOS 5 so that icon is no longer in Safari. You have to tap on the + sign on the right side of the toolbar to create a new tab. You can open a new web site in that tab. You navigate from open page to open page by tapping on the tabs.
    To close a tab - tap on the X in the left side of the tab.

  • What does the icon next to the location icon mean? It has a lock with an arrow circling it.

    What does the icon next to the left of thelocation icon mean and to the right of the time? It has a lock with an arrow circling it. Thanks

    It's the portrait orientation lock.  When on, and that icon showing, the screen won't rotate to landscape view when you rotate the phone. 
    To turn it off - double click the home button to show the recently opened apps bar, slide it to the right showing the iPod controls and the Portrait Orientation Lock on the left.

  • How do I display customized icons next to menu bar instead of on the same line as the URL?

    Thought I already submitted this. If this is a duplicate set of details, apologies. If previous answer posted, there was no message to that effect.
    In Windows 7, icons for most add-ons and for icons you can add with customization appears to the right of the menu bar. Now, in Windows 8, they are appearing to the right of the URL line.
    There isn't enough room on the URL line, so I would prefer they show on the menu bar line. If this isn't possible in Windows 8, count this question as a complaint about the change. If it is possible, I couldn't findl the solution in your help or forum.

    NO! In Windows 7, the command icons show to the right of the line with the '''FILE''', etc. drop-down menus, the line BELOW the top line which contains the Firefox icon (see the image).
    In windows 8, they show to the right of the line in which you enter a URL or a search string. There is not much vacant room on that line, so you can only fit a couple of icons.
    I don't know how to say it any more clearly than this.
    I want to know if it is possible to move the command icons in Windows 8 so they are in the same location as in Windows 7. If not, I'd like to know why the decision was made to do this, if deliberate, or if it was an oversight that will be fixed.

  • I have a song on my ipod touch I can't get rid of. Even if I uncheck the artist and re-sync the file still is showing. It has a weird circle with a stop icon next to the file.

    I also tried to manually manage the music files and removed them all from my ipod. But the file still remains. It only is appearing on my ipod touch, it does not show in itunes. And when I add the file that shows in itunes, it shows up twice. One is normal and the other has that stop button icon next to it. Please help.

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

  • What are the icons next to the printer name in the print sheet?

    Ever since I upgraded to OS X Lion, I have noticed something different in the print dialogue.  First the technical info: I am using a 2009 Mac Mini (4 GB RAM, OS 10.7.3) and I have a couple of printers that I use - one is a Brother laser printer (shared from an iMac, running 10.6.8) and a Canon Pixma Pro 9000, connected via USB to a Time Capsule.
    When I hit Command-P to bring up the print sheet, I now get icons on the left hand side of some of the printer names in the printer list.  One looks like a road sign - diamond shaped with a walking person in it, and the other is a circle with a wavy line (tilde?) in it.  The other printer names have no icons next to them.  I gather that the circle-and-tilde means "printer not available" (or something similar) - even though the printer is there!!! And then I wonder why the other printer names have no icons, and I have no clue what the "walking person" sign means.
    I'm adding a couple of images so you all can see what I'm talking about:
    What do these icons mean?  I can find NO reference to them - even in Apple's knowledge base article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4670 - this just looks like the screen shots from the 10.6 Snow Leopard page.  I looked in the OS X Lion Missing Manual, but it has the same screen shots with no explanation of the icons.
    This is pretty minor, but it's been bugging me for a while.   Any explanation or reference to these icons would be appreciated!

    Wow, impressive, thank you!  Is there a listing or other resource available that can tell me what all these symbols mean?  Or are they the only ones?
    This Mac 101: Printing article mentions some of the icons you will see in 10.6. And there is also the Mac 101: Printing article for Lion that shows some symbols. Neither show the icon you are seeing for the Brother but this is icon has been around for a while and used for warnings/information alerts.

  • How to get dimensions information to appear next to the mouse cursor when drawing/ making selections

    Hello,
    On a previous computer I used Illustrator for, when I would draw or make selections, next to the cursor in a small black box with white text, there would be the dimenstions information. It was similar to what you'd find in the Window>Info panel but simplified and would let you know how big the selection you're making is. I've looked all over the Preferences and can't find it. I can't tell if I was imagining it somehow or what, but I'm hoping someone knows what I'm talking about and knows where to find it. Thanks.
