Firefox mouse cursor using default X11 icons

Hi
I'm a brand new Arch user and I'm extremely happy with it. I've got this one remaining nagging issue that I can't seem to find a solution for.
I'm using XFCE 4.4 and have my mouse cursor theme set to pArch-24 but when I move the mouse over a firefox window it reverts back to the small black default X11 icons. I have the gtk-qt-engine installed and any gnome or kde apps I launch use the right mouse theme so it seems to be only firefox (and gdm) where this is happening.
It's a small issue but I spend 90% of my time in firefox.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks

I once had a similar problem under SuSE 10 (but with KDE), and the following solved this:
- Copy your theme directory to /usr/share/icons/ and then choose it in the XFCE-Menu (probably you already did this)
- Now create the folder .icons under /home/username/ and copy your theme directory there as well, and also copy the default folder from /usr/share/icons/ there
- In this default folder you now have to edit the file index.theme and replace (or create) there a line that says Inherits=core with Inherits=name_of_your_icon_directory (spell it the same way, with capital and small letters)
Save this, log off, log on, maybe this solves the problem with firefox. For me it did back then.
EDIT: I just realised that there is no longer a default-folder under /usr/share/icons/
Hm, forget what I wrote, or try to create it by yourself (copy your icon directory to the name default and then edit the file). Don't know if it will work...

Mouse cursor displays the wrong icon

My cursor still changes based on the context, like hovering over a link or in a text field, but displays the wrong icon. After focusing a text field, the cursor is a reggular arrow in the text editor and turns to the text staff outside of it when it should be an arrow.
I just did a fresh install of 10.6.8 on a crucial m4 - ct256m4ssd
I FOUND THAT RESIZING THE MOUSE CURSOR IN THE UNIVERSAL ACCESSS PREFERENCES temporarily restores the cursor to a size-adjusted mouse, until I do something like click in a text field.

just re-install the os

Problem with i-Planet and change mouse cursor

Hello, I know how change mouse cursor using Toolkit.getdefaultToolkit().createCustomCursor(Imagen,new Point(0,0),String) and setCursor. It works in a local applet but it doesn`t in my aplication. This aplication attach a i-Planet web server and displays the following error:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: java/awt/Toolkit: method createCustomCursor(Ljava/awt/Image;Ljava/awt/Point;Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/awt/Cursor; not found
Where's the problem? Maybe an incorrect jdk version. I don�t think so because I use 1.3.1 version and this method works since 1.2 version.
Thank you for all.

hi,
iplanet has its own jar files in \Netscape\Server4\bin\https which contains the same jar files as it is in jdk dir...so importing ur jar files thru the environment might create a similar problem

When I'm filling in the form on a website Firefox jumps down past the next block and I have to go back using my mouse cursor

For example on Find-A-Grave when filling in the form to add a memorial there are several blocks that you fill in including location. For some blocks you type in the information and others are pick one of the preset selections. I generally hit the tab key on my keyboard and goes to the next block except when it comes to the preset selection blocks. If I use the tab key to go to the next selection it skips right past the next selection to the selection below that. For example, after I fill in the year I hit the tab key and type u for the United States under the country selection. But in order to get the next block to appear I have to hit tab again (but only when using your browser). Your browser then skips past the state selection to the county selection. Then when I pick the state using the cursor it does it again and drops down to the Bio past the county selection.
When I use Internet Explorer I don't have this problem. I merely hit the tab button on my keyboard and it goes to the next selection rather than as your browser does that is skips to the block below.
Is there some reason you have it set up this way because it is quite annoying to have to go back up each time using the mouse cursor rather than continuing to use the keyboard to fill in everything (typing, tab key or using the arrow keys). To say the least it slows the whole process down a lot. No, it is not my computer. I've had the exact same problem using another computer. No, it is not the find-a-grave website. I just used it as an example. Using your browser forces me to stop using the keyboard to fill in a form and use the mouse and then the keyboard and then the mouse and then the keyboard and then the mouse, etc when it shouldn't be necessary when filling out a form on a website.

Are you having the problem with just the one site? Others?
Please post some public linkss.

When I use the printer icon in Firefox, it is preset to 10 copies. How can I change this to only one copy by default. Thanks for any information

When I use the printer icon, in the upper left corner, it is automatically preset to 10 copies. I only want one copy by default. I can change it to one, but when re-opened, it is back to 10.

Number of copies to be printed isn't a setting that Firefox is supposed to be saving, and I have never seen a preference for that in the hidden Firefox prefs panel - about:config.
Try the '''''reset''''' described here and reset all the prefs for that printer: <br />
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages#Reset_printer <br />Make sure to restart Firefox before seeing if doing this '''reset''' fixed your problem.
If that did fix your problem, please click the '''Solved It''' button next to the answer that answered or solved your Firefox support issue, '''''it appears when you are logged in''''', so this thread gets marked as '''Solved''' to help other users who may have this same problem.
If that didn't solve your problem and it still defaults to printing 10 copies of everything thru Firefox, please open '''Help > Troubleshooting Information...''' and use the '''Copy All to Clipboard''' button and then paste that information into the '''''Post a Reply''''' box here.
It is going to be a real long list, but all I really need to see is the ''' print.''' preferences, so you could paste '''All''' that information into a text program like WordPad first, edit out the information that I don't need to see, and then '''copy''' the remaining information and '''paste''' only that information in to the '''''Reply''''' box here.
I wonder if there might be a pref that I have never seen, but I truly doubt it. That "number of copies to be printed" has never been "stuck" for me on any program in Windows, on any PC I have ever used, with any printer / print drivers.
The only time I have ever seen a "print dialog box" default to more than 1 copy was with a work application where the program being used was set to force 2 copies of some specific forms to print 2 copies all the time - one to be given to the "customer" at the end of the job for their records of the service call and one for the "employee" to get a signature upon completion of the job, to fax into the home office for job documentation as completed successfully and for payroll purposes so they would get paid for that service call.

Cursor becomes invisible in JTextField after using default button

In my application there is an update screen (JPanel). I am using default button in that panel. The input field is a normal JTextField. When the update is over the cursor goes back to the input JTextField.
     Now my problem is that when I carry out update with mouse, the cursor is correctly placed into the input JTextField and is visible after the update is over. On the other hand, if I carry out the same update operation using default button (using keyboard), the cursor gets placed correctly in the input JTextfield column, but becomes invisible. If I minimize and then again maximize the window, the cursor appears back. What am I missing ? Note that I am using component.requestFocusInWindow() to get focus back to the input JTextField.

Can I use an animated symbol acting like a mouse cursor?

Hi,
I'd like to use an EDGE animated symbol ( a blinking magic wand) as my mouse cursor (hiding the original cursor) that stays on the stage all the time at a certain point in the timeline and when clicked on a hotspot, goes to another point in timeline where the symbol no longer act as a mouse cursor. I used the following code suggested in the following thread by YOSHIOKA Ume
Re: How to I have an animated symbol follow the coordinates of the cursor when clicked?
1:create a symbol named "Symbol_1"
2:add this code on Symbol_1-Timeline.complete.
//delete this instance when timeline complete. sym.deleteSymbol();
3:add this code on document.compositionReady.
//on/off mousemove event handler method
sym.$("Stage")
.mouseover(function(){
sym.$("Stage").on("mousemove",draw);
//create instance of Symbol_1 on stage.
function draw(evt){
var instance = sym.createChildSymbol("Symbol_1", "Stage");
instance.getSymbolElement().css({
position:"absolute",
top:evt.clientY,
left:evt.clientX   });
But the problem is, the symbol is being repeated/drawn one after another according to the above code, which I don't want. Changing the cursor using CSS requires a URL of a image file, not a symbol inside EDGE as it seems. How can I get back the normal mouse cursor in another point in the timeline (and go back to the animated symbol mode again if needed?). If I click on another hotspot element on the stage, do I actually click on the attached symbol as a cursor? Or the hotspot?
Also, how can I put a constraint on the cursor so that it stays within a certain rectangular area smaller than the stage?
A suggestion is much appreciated.

Here is a example I had to move a symbol around as a mouse cursor and play different part of the symbol timeline based on user action.
mouseCursor.zip - Google Drive
To constraint the symbol to stage area,check for the x and y values in the event callback function before moving the symbol.
To get back the normal cursor set the css back to default
ex: sym.getSymbol('Stage').getSymbolElement().css({ 'cursor' : 'default'});

In facebook, When I access a picture directly, I am unable to advance the photo forwards or backwards using the mouse/cursor or the arrow keys.

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.

Mouse Cursor in Firefox 5

Has anyone else noticed that the mouse cursor does change for rollovers on a clickable item, like it should, in Firefox 5? The cursor does change to a pointer, hand, or anything, to give feedback that there is a clickable item you are over.
Workarounds? Knowledge that Firefox is working on this?
Thanks.

When I open Photoshop Elements 9 (sorry, I'm not current to the newest version) I get strange cursor activity with different tools. I used Photoshop Elements on my 2011 MacBook Air with no problems at all. While the italics light grey cursor is a consistent issue on my new MacBook Air, the Photoshop issues seem to differ with the file I am working on. If I have a file open with layers and a transparent background, and I select the text tool, anytime my text tool cursor hits the invisible background, it goes light grey but it turns back to black when it passes over any visible layer. Like in Word, this makes it extremely difficult to see where PSE is going to make a text layer because you can't see where the cursor is.
Another issue on one of the image files, that I wasn't able to recreate because I could remember the file, but when I select eraser, the eraser tool, rather than showing the circle it normally shows so I can see what I'm erasing, it shows up as a strange cross hairs. I know PSE usually shows cross hairs when you move the eraser down to a small point, but it was doing a crosshair when the eraser point size was extremely large. Therefore, I could tell the center point of the eraser, but I didn't know how far out the boundaries of the eraser would go. I kept having to try and if it was too large, I'd undo and try a smaller size.
Anyways, I hope that helps. If I can find the file I was editing and can give more information I will. Thanks again for any help.

How to extract the mouse cursor image without using JNI

I want to get the image of the mouse cursor of the system using java. The Robot class captures the screen only, but the mouse icon image is not the part of the screen, so it is not easily detected. But we can get the mouse cursor position using API, but how to get the exact image icon, without using JNI. I don't want to generate my own cursor at that position.

I am building a Remote Desktop kinda app using java..... I want the screen of the remote comp to be viewed on my screen and generate events from my machine to the remote machine. So, I am capturing the screen images of the remote machine. But the cursor is not part of the screen object. i want to extract the cursor image icon from the remote machine to my machine and render the image.

Blocking mouse movement while using a motion icon

Hey guys,
now that I know how to automate items in authorware by using the motion items I do have the problem that during the time, when the animated items moves along a specific predetermined path the mouse cursor is still on the screen and can be moved by the participant/respondent. I need the mouse cursor either to disappear or to not be movable during that time. Is there a possibility to block out participants entry (mouse movement) while the motion icon operates?
Very thankful for any advice on that!
Darja

Oh no, there are four or five Authorware supporters here. Some even more active than I am.

How To Change Mouse Cursor Icon To Hand And Click Middle Of Player To Pause In Strobe Media Playback

Hello,
Thank you for providing a platform where uses can pose questions to Adobe employees. This certainly helps us all cut right through it.
Similar to YouTube's player (as well as many others), I was wondering if it is currently possible for users to enable functionality on Strobe Media Playback to change the mouse cursor to a hand/point cursor upon hovering over Strobe Media Playback's buttons (such as pause, the volume controls and that initial large centered middle play button),
And, whether or not it is currently possible to enable functionality to pause/play videos merely by clicking the middle of the video screen (within the normal view mode as well as the full screen mode). Again, with YouTube, Vimeo, JW Player, and many others, such functionality is currently built-in by default.
I look forward to any advice you are able to provide. Thanks again for providing this discussion platform for users.
- C.R.

Hi, thank you for your suggestions and for the interest in our player.
The full area click issue is an older one, tracked at http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/ST-156 . Unfortunately, it will not be fixed in this release.
The hand cursor issue is now tracked at http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/ST-331 - thanks for suggesting it!
