Ratpoison: X cursor instead of pointer

Hey guys.
I have a problem with Ratpoison: It seems that instead of a pointer as a cursor I have an X. All the other cursors seems to work, like when I hover over a link in my web browser it goes to a hand and when I hover over text it turns into that text cursor thing.
Any ideas on how I could correct this problem? It's a little annoying.
Thanks in advance for your help!

That didn't seem to work. But. I added it to my .ratpoisonrc and that worked.
Thanks a bunch, this has been bugging me for days!
Sorry it should be added to ratpoisonrc.
If you want to use your .xinitrc then you should use just
xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr

  • Can i use WebApps to build a Google map with polygon territories instead of points (pins)?

    I built a map with Google Maps Engine Pro - http://www.jmbcompanies.com/Services/Mitigation/map.
    It showcases territories using a Google map polygon shape.  I wrote custom KML to create it.  However, with Google Maps Engine pro you cannot create custom hyperlinks.  It will link a URL that you put in the data, but you cannot name it or target the parent window, so therefore it opens a new tab for each click to more details.  I really want it to open the WebApp detail page for that item within the same window.
    So, is there a way to use the BC integrated Google maps technology and show polygons instead of points on the map? I've used {module_webappsmap,20754,a} to place individual locations on a map, but what about territories or polygon areas?
    I'm sure that I can create a WebApp to generate the KML for each placeholder.  But how do I turn that into a map?
    THANKS!!

    You can not create a kml file in BC through webapps. Modules do not work in other file types and you do not have server code access to generate a file type of results.
    You need to use the google API and do this yourself or you can just use this:
    And embed it into a custom field. My Maps

    Be sure you cursor theme is complete. Which one are you trying to use? Did you try setting it up from directly X confs?
    There must be an option in window manager or window manager tweaks about overlapping taskbar. You can use alt+left mouse to move your windows till it is configured.
    Reinstalling is as meaningless as deleting system32. If you are out of options, just delete your .config folder then reinstall.?

  • How do you change size of text cursor or 'insertion point' in adobe cc for mac?

    how do you change size of text cursor or 'insertion point' in adobe ID cc for mac?  I have looked everywhere.  It's possible in Windows and Word but not in Mac.  Please help.  I spend half my time trying to find that blinking upright bar.

    Thanks for your note but it’s still a skinny rod that seems to disappear.  Why can’t it become a little thicker so it doesn’t disappear no matter what size I have set the screen?  My poor old eyes aren’t what they used to be.  I do appreciate your answering and I’ll enlarge the screen so the blankety-blankety blinking rod is at least visible.  Nancy

  • Mouse cursor snaps to point on screen

    I posted this two days ago in the Mac Pro forum, but after searching for a solution since then, I've come to two conclusions: 1) the problem is not a hardware one and 2) using OS X without a mouse is horrendous. Forgive me for copying and editing my own original postings. First, here is a digest:
    - the cursor snaps back to its starting point on the screen after ca. 1/2 sec of movement, I can hardly move the cursor to halfway the screen before it snaps back
    - not a hardware problem, appears with Kensington Expert Trackball, Magic Trackpad, Apple Magic Mouse and keyboard used as mouse
    - not connected with a single user account, appears in the login screen, main user account and system operator account
    - the snap-to position differs in the login screen and user accounts
    - turning of the computer, unplugging does not work
    - resetting PRAM does not work
    - unplugging + replugging trackball USB-cable does not work
    - the problem appeared suddenly in mid of normal use.I had not changed in settings before the problem
    Any ideas? Is it possible to contact someone at Apple directly?
    Below my original messages:
    I started having a strange problem with the mouse cursor. I started the computer, the mouse worked fine as always. Suddenly the cursor started fixating on a point on the lower right portion of the screen. I would move the cursor, it would move maybe halfway across the screen for a split second and then snap right back to the starting position.
    I tried shutting down the computer and restarting. Didn't help. The cursor behaves the same way in the login screen too. The only difference is that now the "homing position" is somewhere in the upper right part of the screen.
    I have a Kensington Expert trackball and a Magic Trackpad. I've removed the trackpad, in case it had started interfering with the trackball (never done that before though). Didn't help. I've unplugged and replugged the trackball USB-cable, no help.
    I had the Mac Pro unplugged for over a day as I was travelling and the Kensington Expert Mouse too. Behaved exactly the same when I switched on the computer again. I tried resetting the PRAM. Didn't help.
    I don't know where the problem lies. The mouse cursor keeps snapping to a position in both the login screen and my user screen. The snap-back position is different in the different screens. The cursor returns to its position when both the Magic Trackpad and the Expert Mouse are connected or when only one of them is. I can move the cursor half a screen, then it snaps back. Clicking functions, but I never have any time to click anything when the cursor bounces back to its spot.
    My final remedy would be reinstalling Snow Leopard, but before I try that I would like tro try something less radical. I would also delete the mouse .plist file, but I don't know where it is. I guess that probably would not help, as the cursor behaves crazy even in the login screen, so the user setting should not be the problem.
    I've come to the conclusion, that the problem is not a hardware one. The mouse cursor snaps to point on the screen when I use: 1) a Kensington Expert Mouse, 2) a Magic Trackpad, 3) the Magic Mouse that arrived with my computer and when I turned on 4) use keyboard as mouse. The problem also is not tied to a certain user because it appears 1) in the login screen, 2) my user account and 3) the sysop account. I can't figure out where to look for the problem or fix it.

    I give up.
    I've tried everything I can think of, to fix the behavior of the mouse cursor. I've zapped the pram, I've fixed file permissions, I've removed all startup items, I've tried starting the computer in Safe Mode. No can do.
    The mouse cursor snaps back to a position on the screen when I try to move it. This happens within a second, so I might be able to move the cursor half-way across the screen, but that's it. It doesn't matter how fast I move the mouse. The cursor is dysfunctional in the normal user account, the administrator account and in the login screen. It works perfectly fine in Safe Mode.
    The mouse cursor misbehaves when using a USB track-ball, the Magic Trackpad or the keyboard with accessibility settings.
    After advise received at this site, I tried booting up in Safe Mode and after that the cursor worked for a month or so, but the problem returned. I see no rhyme or reason why the problem appeared for the first place, or why it reappeared. I had originally had two pointing devices the track-ball and the Trackpad connected to my Mac Pro at the same time. After the problem first appeared, I removed the Trackpad. I returned it to use a day before the problem reappeared, but I don't know if that is the cause of the problem. The computer had worked perfectly fine for some months with two pointing devices before the problem appeared.
    I've noticed that some other people have had the same problem. One had a feline related fix, which doesn't help me since I don't have a cat. Another fixed the problem by switching off the Internet, but that didn't help me.
    What I now would like is to make an official bug-report, so that the problem could be fixed someday. I hope Apple is listening. I also plan to reinstall Snow Leopard (I have 10.6.7) next weekend. I had hoped to install a new OS only when Lion got out, but I don't seem to have much choice not. I can either simply reinstall or make a clean reinstall by erasing the disk in the process. I'd like to avoid reinstalling my programs, but I feel it is safer to wipe everything and start from scratch. Even then, I have no assurance this doesn't happen again.

  • Cursor (Pointer) Showing as Hand (Move Tool) Instead of Pointer

    How do you change the characteristic of the cursor from Hand (Move Tool) back to just being a pointer?  This condition only exists in the Develope Module when my cursor is placed over the top of the photo.  When I move it off the photo it returns to a pointer.  In the Library Module it is always a pointer like I like it to be.

    My first guess would be that you are in Fill View or some other View that makes your image slightly larger than the screen - hence it gives you a hand so that you can expose the hidden parts of your image.
    Change your view in the Navigator Panel to Fit and see if your pointer returns.

  • 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?

  • Cursor snap to point in XY graph

    I have trouble in LabWindows/CVI 5.0 to have my cursor snap to a point in an
    XY- graph, even when I set following attributes:
    ATTR_PLOT_SNAPPABLE : TRUE
    ATTR_CURSOR_MODE : VAL_SNAP_TO_POINT
    Besides, also the attribute
    ATTR_ENABLE_ZOOMING seems not to do its job.
    Has anyone tried this before?
    Kind regards,
    Geert Van Doorselaer

    Hy Geert,

    me too.. (see my posting from 02/06/01)
    > also the attribute ATTR_ENABLE_ZOOMING seems not to do its job.
    Had this problem, too. But in my case it was an user's error:
    You have to change the graph input mode to anything else but indicator,
    enable zooming and use zooming by Ctrl + left mouse button.
    I guess, the data mode has to be retain and if you change the contents of
    the original buffer with the data to be plotted, the data has to be copied.
    (ATTR_COPY_ORIGINAL_DATA = True)
    I got it running, finally... ( I use CVI5.5)

  • Instead of pointing to local files, re-matched library lists all local files as duplicates

    I've got a mess. I moved my matched local music files from my internal drive to a larger external drive. I deleted the iTunes folder on the internal drive, created a new library by changing the location of my music library in iTunes preferences and adding all of the files on the external drive.
    When I turned match back on, my cloud-based matched files no longer pointed to my local versions. Instead, match listed everything as a duplicate -- a copy in the cloud and a local copy even though the two copies are exactly the same, previously matched files.
    I've added files to my cloud library from numerous computers -- so my cloud library is the most complete --  and I was in the process of creating one local, consolidated library on my new external drive by downloading those files from match. There has to be a way to re-sync both local and match libraries with everything matched as it previously was withouth having to either delete and re-upload or delete and re-download.
    Any tips, instruction or help will be greatly apprieciated.

    You didn't move the library in the right way. In the future, use this Apple KB article to move an iTunes Media folder: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1449
    To try to clean this up is going to take some work on your part but it isn't impossible. Start off with one album or artist at a time and delete them from the cloud. Then you should be able to select the corrosponding locally stored tracks, right click them, and choose "add to iCloud." This should re-initiate a scan on those tracks and add them to the cloud.

  • How to set the cursor to one point (x0, y0)

    Hello
    I work with swing and I have done a GUI.
    In the GUI, I have some points. When I approach one point (x0, y0), I would like to set the cursor of the mouse to the exact position (x0, y0). But I can't find the class that can set the position of the cursor.
    Could anyone help me, thanks.

  • Camera Raw 8.7 Beta: black arrow cursor instead of regular white one used

    Bug report: in Camera Raw 8.7 Beta, a black arrow cursor gets used instead of the regular white one.

    Actually, I don't think it's a bug. I reported something similar here, and I was told that it was a new feature, reported in the ACR CC changelog:
    8.7 beta
    Quote:
    Windows HiDPI support:
    When Photoshop CC 2014's option to scale the UI 200% is enabled (Edit > Preferences > Experimental Features), the Camera Raw dialog will also be scaled. Known issues:
    Sometimes the Camera Raw dialog will not scale after the initial Photoshop relaunch to enable the feature. The workaround would be to re-launch Photoshop.
    Some UI flashing/redrawing during interactive operations such as dragging a local adjustment gradient or toggling fullscreen mode.
    Win HiDPI support currently does not work when ACR is hosted within Bridge CC.
    Improve performance on processors with AVX/AVX2 vector instruction support (Intel Sandy Bridge (2011) processors and later; AMD Bulldozer (2011) processors and later).

  • Using Cursors - snap to point

    Hello everyone,
    I would like some explanation on cursor functionality. I have a cursor on an x-y graph and I would like to use the drag function or enter the co-ordinates and have the cursor snap to this point.
    My x-scale is set in 0.1 increments. I would like to only enter the x co-ordinate and have the cursor snap to the appropriate x-y co-ordinate on the selected plot. If I set it programatically using the 'cursor.posx' property node, the cursor moves to an x co-ordinate 0.1 below the one I set.
    any ideas would be appreciated.
    thanks.

    Apparently, I don't have this kind of problem. Try to compare the attached vi with your own to find out the origin of the different behaviours.

  • Keyboard issue with cursor jumping to point on the page when typing

    When I type on my notebook keyboard (HP Pavilion dv6-6167cl) it frequently jumps somewhere else in the area where I previously typed causing me to stop and correct what it did and move back to where I intended to type.  I have the latest driver for my Synaptics Touchpad driver already.  Any idea why this happens.  This is my second laptop, different manufacturers where I've had this same problem so I'm beginning to think it's a common issue with notebooks.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    tdunnusa,
    It may be inherent to the way in which you use the devices (keyboard and Touch/ClickPad).  Maybe not ... the drivers are not perfect.  We can all attest to adventures with Clickpad mystery entries..
    Depending on the level of touch sensitivity (located under Pointing)
    AND the level in the PalmCheck-Enhanced ACM setting, things can get a bit weird;  even touching the surface lightly can set the mouse cursor off course.
    Consider / try the following:
    In your Synaptics Settings > Properties,
    Open the Pointing section,
    Click on Sensitivity (to highlight) >> click on Spikey blue wheel (Sensitivity settings) >
    Set the sensitivity level way over to the right side (Less sensitive)
    Apply
    Next:
    Click to Open PalmCheck-Enhanced ACM  >> click on Spikey blue wheel (settings)
    Slide the PalmCheck over to the RIGHT to Max
    Apply
    Youcan adjust the Advanced filter zone - that is, control where  you can use the TouchPad for certain gestures and how long it takes for the zone to activate.   This can help for particular kinds of gestures, though it won't help for accidentally contact like brushing the surface with the palm of your hand.
    These settings, when set to maximum,are likely too extreme - they may give you an idea whether the issue is related to how you are using the TouchPad.
    Kind Regards,

  • EventInterfaces: Send via PI instead of point-to-point

    Is it true that event interfaces only support sending point-to-point (via a logical port configured in SOAMANAGER)? Or can they send via PI, too, like other web service interfaces? If so, how?

    Hi Yvonne,
    Your question sounds as if you want to utilize a standard mechanism of printing in SAP ME but need to set up the physical printer or print server to send the document as email instead of printing it on a paper. If so, I guess such question should be addressed to a vendor of the printer. If you use a multifunctional copy system rather than a simple printer, I would believe it might be configured in such way.
    If you want to change a printing process of SAP ME so that the output is an email instead of a document sent to a physical printer, then you really need a customization. The problem is that the current implementation of email notifications in SAP ME allows a user to send email at triggering a message. Configurable (not hard-coded into a logic of specific features like Production Interface or SPC) messages can be fired from Real-Time Warnings, from NC Log and from Message Board. Once your process is not related to the first 2 features, only manual Create Message (of FREE_FORM messages type) from Message Board ca nbe used. If you happen to embed this manual Create Message in your process, then you can turn on the system rule to enable saving PDF files to the file system and change FREE_FORM message type to mention this location of the files and assign to specific email addressees.
    If you cannot afford to use Create Message plugin in manual mode, then you can discuss with SAP ME Consulting a possibility of enhancement to implement a hookable version of Create Message functionality. This looks like a good future enhancement, in fact.
    Regards,
    Sergiy
