Hi everybody. I have been working on some mouse cursors. I don’t know if it is a thing here.
I will appreciate any information on how to make it useful for anyone who perchance might want to try it.
However, I got information from the website about mouse cursors. I am still processing it though.
I am a pure “visuals” type no coding but I can readily adapt and learn.
Currently the Mouse cursor is stored in the application server directly, that is the graphics are hardcoded in the HVIF format, currently you’d need to recompile Haiku to change the cursors. so it’s not that easy
Thanks for the response. I will give it a go. It seems I will have to learn a lot here as you have already made it clear that it is not easy.
I forgot to ask. Does this mean that mouse cursors can not be switched to any other except through the route you specified, is this correct?
Yes,that is correct.
The code could theoretically be changed to support loading cursors from a file,but currently that’s not done so you’ll always have to recompile Haiku to try another cursor.
Thanks nipos but I am thinking it will be great to have such a feature in the future.
maybe request for this in this thread
Thanks, I did that.
It does beg the question though, why would you want to change the mouse cursor? The one we have now is iconic, and the ones in the image seem like they are just not that desirable.
