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 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);

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.

How can I change the colour of the cursor in a spry menu?

Hi there,
I am trying to change the cursor on my horizontal drop down menu as it doesn't go with the rest of my design.
I need the cursor to be #544107 on off state and then #835e1c on hover state. Is this possible? I've tried various things but nothing has worked for me.

Hi M,
in addition, you only can use programs "outside" of your DW. I suggest to "Google" for them, as I did and found for example this:

How do I change the size of the cursor, I-bar pointer?

I am running Windows 8.1 on a PC. I have updated to the latest InDesign through the creative cloud center. Everything runs perfectly except for the fact that my I-bar cursor/pointer is huge. At least three or four times larger than normal. I have looked under the preferences section>interface and then all the sections under preferences but cannot seem to find this issue addressed anywhere. No other program I use has changed the cursor size or I-bar size. It is only happening in the InDesign program. I also use Photoshop Elements, but the cursor size is unchanged there. InDesign is the only culprit. The I-bar size is stressing me out, especially when typing or editing text. Help!

This did not help. All my panels and workspace are the correct size, just the cursor is wrong. In Windows 8.1 I have the following choice in font settings: 1. I can change to smaller, medium or larger. There are no percentages. 2. Change just the text size; again there are no percentages, only point sizes here, my choices are Title bars, Menus, Messages boxes, Palette titles, Icons and Tool tips.
If you are going to direct me to "Set your fonts size to 124% in Windows" PLEASE tell me where that is in the Windows Control Panel>Appearance and Personalization>?? Or somewhere else?

How can I change the tag name in cursor statement?

Hi
I have two tables: TableA and TableB. I want generate a XML file using XSU12 from these two tables, the XML structure like:
<ROWSETA>
<ROWA num="1">
<A1></A1>
<A2></A2>
<A3>
<A3_ROW num="1">
<B1></B1>
<B2></B2>
</A3_ROW>
<A3_ROW num="2">
<B1></B1>
<B2></B2>
</A3_ROW>
</A3>
</ROWA>
</ROWSETA>
How can I change the tag name and attribute for "A3_ROW"?
Thanks in advance!
null

In short, you can't.
You can use the column alias as you're already doing to change the name of the "A3" part of "A3_ROW" but you cannot change the "_ROW" part of "A3_ROW". This is added automatically.
You can combine the results of XSU with an XSLT stylesheet (made very simple if you're using XSU by working with Oracle XSQL Pages) to change the name of any element or completely restructure the XML output into a target XML, HTML, or text format.

How do I stop the cursor from spontaneously going to Line one space one in Notes?

How do I stop the cursor from spontaneously going to Line one Space one in Notes?
I am currently working on a MacBook Pro connected by Wi-Fi or Blue Tooth to my 16GB iPhone 4S; and supposedly to iCloud. I install every upgrade on each computer till the computer can take no more. My current MacBook Pro continues to accept upgrades.
I have been dealing with Address Book foibles since it first came out and the problems seem to get worse rather than resolved.
Problem #1: When a Company Name is checked to take precedence over a personal name the record/file does not surface during searches. This has happened for years on all my Macs, including most recently my MacBook Pro and its predecessor PowerBook G4. How do I fix this?
Problem #2: The Printing Defaults for Address Book Files are not useful and I can find no way to change them to my own preferences once and for all. I must reset them for every file every time I choose to print a file. Is there some way to set the defaults to MY preferences and only occasionally reset them according to my needs?
Problem #3: When entering information in "Notes" the cursor randomly and spontaneously goes to line one space one as I am entering information. How do I stop this? Then when I cut and paste the misplaced text to where it belongs it may or may not return to once again begin at line one space one and following.
Problem #4: When Printing a Record/File from Address Book I would like to use the whole 8.5" x 11" page. Instead it prints on an 8.5" x 11" page in three columns. Is there a way to format the output? I have not found one and the Mac 'Geniuses' do not know of any.
Problem #5: Subsequent to one of the upgrades in the last year or so, the search feature does not work. (I have had this computer since May 2011). No matter what I type in the search line I am stuck in the 'All' Directory. To find anyone or anything I must scroll through the address book manually. Is there a fix to this?
Problem #6: Sometimes, when I try to sync my MacBook Pro and my iPhone, the records simply duplicate. How d I undo this without manually deleting the duplicates?
Problem #7: Does anyone know of a third party Address-Book-type App that is better than the Apple version and can easily import over 3000 contacts information?

'''I had the same problem when I updated to firefox 4. This is how i fixed it:'''
The problem seems to be caused by the 'New Tab Homepage' add on. So:
# Disable or remove the 'New Tab Homepage' add on and restart firefox.
# Download and install the firefox add on called 'NewTabURL' and restart firefox.
# Click on the Options button for NewTabURL and uncheck 'Select location bar after loading new tab'
# Under the 'Default URL for new tabs' heading, choose 'Home Page'
# Click on the Save button.
Hopefully, problem solved!

How can i change the color of the graph in agreement of the program's condition

Hi,
I am using labview 5.1 in my graduation's project final. (sorry by my english, but i am ina hurry)
How can i change the color of the graph in agreement of the program's condition?
I am developing a VI to control the temperature of termistors,but i have another sensor too.
In a graph i have the situation of the termistors,but i want to change the color of the graph when the sensor is active.
Thanks a lot
Rafael Wajnsztajn - Brasil

To change the color of the line itself, you can use the attribute Plot>>Plot Color.
To change the color of the points, you can use the attribute Cursor>>Cursor Color.
To select the color, you should have a color box constant inside the Numeric>>Additional Numeric Constants palette.
This is all in LV 7.0. I'm not sure how it similar it is in 5.1.
One important thing is to place the attribute node inside a case structure which will execute only when your condition has been filled.
If this didn't help you, I suggest you post the relevant piece of code, or at least an image of it (no BMPs, please).
Try to take over the world!
