How do I change the Color of the Cursor?

Hi!
I have changed the background color of a JTextField. Unfortunately the background color of the textfield is almost identical with the color of the cursor, so the cursor cannot be seen when the mouse pointer points into the textfield.
Is there a way to change the color of the cursor and can this be done using the UIManager?
Thanks,
Alex

I think you need to create a custom cursor from an image like .gif or .jpg.
Look in to the javadoc of java.awt.Toolkit class for creating a custom cusrosor.
toolkit.createCustomCusror(...)
After creating the cursor, set the cursor on the desired components using component.setCursor(myCursor).
Hope this helps

How do i change the cursor on a jtable header when clicked for sorting?

here is my question, how do i change the cursor on a jtable header when I click the header for sorting?
I think it is suppose to be in the fragment of code where the header listener is implemented for sorting, but I'm not quite sure what is the exact component that holds everything so that i can change the cursor...
below is what I've tried, but it doesn't seem to work... thank you
public void addMouseListenerToHeaderInTable(JTable table) {
final TableSorter sorter = this;
final JTable tableView = table;
tableView.setColumnSelectionAllowed(false);
MouseAdapter listMouseListener = new
MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
TableColumnModel columnModel =
tableView.getColumnModel();
int viewColumn =
columnModel.getColumnIndexAtX(e.getX());
int column =
tableView.convertColumnIndexToModel
(viewColumn);
System.out.println("column = "+column);
if (e.getClickCount() == 1 && column != -1) {
System.out.println("Sorting ...");
Cursor oldCursor =
tableView.getRootPane().getCursor();
System.out.println("oldCursor.getType()
= "+oldCursor.getType());
if (oldCursor.getType() !=
Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR){
JComponent parentPane =
tableView.getRootPane();
parentPane.getContentPane().setCursor
(new Cursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
parentPane.setCursor(new Cursor
(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
Cursor newCursor =
parentPane.getCursor();
System.out.println("newCursor.getType
() = "+newCursor.getType());
int shiftPressed = e.getModifiers(
&InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK;
boolean ascending = (shiftPressed == 0);
//System.out.println("tableView.getRootPane()
is "+tableView.getRootPane().getRootPane());
sorter.sortByColumn(column, ascending);
tableView.getRootPane().setCursor(new Cursor
(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));
//System.out.println("Done sorting");
JTableHeader th = tableView.getTableHeader();
th.addMouseListener(listMouseListener);
}

Hi,
Try setting the cursor for the table header.
table.getHeader().setCursor(Wait_Cursor);

How do I change the Cursor?

I am having a bit of bother with Elements 8. Yesterday I lost access to the drop shadows filters on my new Windows 7 Pro computer but a re - load has corrected that. However, I now have a wierd cursor which looks a bit like three rather faint stripy hands. This is when I put the cursor over one of the panels eg: to select the filters for instance. It is so faint that It is almost guess work to see where it is!It is an ordinary arrow for some other purposes and if I select the hand tool to move a picture about that is the normal one. On my old XP machine this selection cursor is a hand with a pointing finger and I tried it on a friend's Win 7 pro machine (identiacl to mine) and hers is correct too.
I'm sure I have done something wrong... but can anyone suggest what?
Thanks, Dorothy.

I wish I had a solution for you, Dorothy, because then I could fix the same damn problem on my computer. In my case, the faint "triple cursor" just appeared out of nowhere. I don't know what I did or how to fix it, but it's driving me nuts!
Thanks to anybody who can help shed some light on this.

How can I change the cursor look an my mac

Can I change my cursor look an a mac

Do you want to change the look for aesthetic reasons, or to make the cursor easier to see?
As X423424X indicates, you can use System Preferences to change the size.
You can also install a utility such as MouseLocator to aid in making your cursor easier to find

There are other similar utilities that perform a similar service.

I am on a Mac and just upgraded to Firefox 8. The cursor has become a permanent open hand and I can't click on links or CoolPreviews anymore. How can I change the cursor back to hand with pointed finger or arrow?

Upgraded from Firefox 3.6 to 8 on Mac OS X
Firefox crashed 3 x upon new upgrade and cursor is now a permanent open hand making it difficult to access links and CoolPreviews.
I want to change this or overwrite the new Firefox with my old one which was slow but at least worked.
I will do this through Time Machine.,
Any advice?

How can i change the color of the text on a button in Roll Over or Click state (Cs5.5)

Hello,
Here is the problematic:
1° How can i change the color of the text on a button in Roll Over or Click state (Cs5.5)
- I've many button in a doc im creating
- the color of the buttons is white with black stoke & black text
- in roll over state i want them to inverse the color coding (the text white & bottom black)
- currently the text becomes invisible as black on black cant be seen (ive stroked it white but that looks ugly)
- i would just like to know if there is a function made for this?
My other questions:
2° Ive a presentation on which Ive created buttons which tigger pop-up animations
- i have 5 buttons which trigger animations
- the viewer can chose to Click on any of the buttons randomly
- the problem is once the animation is open how can it be close... either:
a) by it self after "40" seconds
b) when ther viewer clicks another button
3° Ive created buttons linking pages..
- "go to page xxx"
- when i do a preview and click on the buttons the links dont take me to the right pages
- is that normal? (maybe in preview its suppose to be like that)
4° I would like to intergrate YouTube videos in the presentation so they play inside the docment.. when i tried.. it said the 'link isnt a flash video'
- what should i do?
5° Once i export it into Swf. how how can i visualize it? or put it online?
Thank you for your time.

You should setup Object Styles - these can also include Paragarph Styles that can be triggered when the Style is selected.

I'm not sure what you mean - I don't do files with Animations
3° Ive created buttons linking pages..- "go to page xxx"

Does it work properly when you export it to the finished file?
4° I would like to intergrate YouTube videos in the presentation so they play inside the docment.. when i tried.. it said the 'link isnt a flash video'- what should i do?
InDesign won't link directly to youtube videos. I think your best bet would be to use Downloader to download the video and embed them directly in Indesign.
5° Once i export it into Swf. how how can i visualize it? or put it online?
Thank you for your time.
You can look up how to embed a SWF file into your HTML - but it depends what you mean by "online" there's a dozen ways to get a file "online".

In working on a simple home budget, how can I change the color of a negative number to red, during the period the number is negative. Thanks,

Using Numbers spreadsheet and In working on a simple home budget, how can I change the color of a number to RED when it comes up negative. (only during the time that it's negative) Thanks, ( I hope I did this right!!)

The Inspector offers choices of format for negative numbers when you choose Number of Currency as the format for a cell. Also offered when the format is set to Automatic, IF the selected cell(s) contain number(s).
The choices are in the pop-up menu beside the box for number of decimal places.

How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text?

How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text? Please help! I'm technologically challenged.

Most forms (99% or more) are created for simple text input, where you cannot change anything.
The creator of the form could allow Rich Text input (which allows you to change font, text size, color, etc.), but frankly I have never seen such a form, and I wouldn't know how they look. But I'm sure they would show some kind of controls to alter the text appearance.

How can I change the color of birthday calendar?

The birthday calendar in the new iPhone OS gets it color automatically. How can I change the color? It does not correspond to the color in iCal on my Mac.

I figured out a solution for changing the other calendars but not the birthday calendar. Although it's not the most direct fix, it worked for me. Apparently Apple didn't think to give us the ability to choose the calendar color. I use Entourage and sync over the air. When I upgraded to iOS 4 my calendar turned bright red and the birthday calendar was blue. I don't use the birthday calendar so it isn't even enabled in my case. What finally worked was to go through the calendar colors one at a time by disabling and re-enabling the calendar in my mail account settings. I would double click the home button to quickly switch between settings and calendar to check the color each time I enabled the calendar. I had to do this 4 or 5 times to cycle through until blue came back up.
