Richmond, your latest stack changes and locks the cursor upon mouseEnter into a field. But the cursor reverts once one leaves the rect of the field. What were you trying to show here? Well: 1. On my MacOS 10.7 Lion machine with LC 8.1.10 the red hand remained 'there' even when the mouseLoc was outw...

I was using an old version of LiveCode to have a coloured cursor!

The Dictionary states that a cursor has to be black and white.

No, just standard PNG, black and white, and a third color marked as transparent.

WRONG!

Normally I use LC 9.6.3, but today I am using LC 8.1.10

Well, if that is so why is my 'paw' persisting when I remove my mouseLoc from the image?

Are on linux?

Not currently: MacOS.

you can replace the cursor images in the revCursors stack

My 'paw' remains a paw through out the IDE.

Your "paw" changes as soon as the cursor leaves that image. Well, over here, with LC 9.6.3 the 'paw' remains a paw across the card and those 'random' objects I sprinkled across the card. Unfortunately the screen shot thingy in MacOS, even when 'show the pointer' is selected, does NOT show any curso...

Probably it is a better idea to change the cursor to what you want FIRST, and then set the lockCursor to true SECOND.


Click on the big hand!

This works equally well with mouseEnter in the field script.

Dunno: this works:

Clicking on the 'Paw', and away you go.

Custom cursor images must contain three colors: black, white, and a transparent color.

I wonder why?

It's not a problem that I've ever encountered with any of my Mac standalones that employ multiple cards. My Devawriter, which has 51 cards at the moment, has never, over 14 years of development and deployment, had this problem. Oh, and Klaus: sorry, I don't pay for anything with Deutsch Marks, only...

However, I have no wish to display SVG images in a browser, I might want to import SVGs as vector objects to use as, say, scaleable icons/buttons.

I have just used this service: https://www.vertopal.com/ to produce an SVG image from my text (which is far, far inferior to what LiveCode is pumping out): - Screenshot 2024-05-04 at 17.23.28.png - Opening that file in a text editor I can see why it is "what it is": " Created by potrace 1.16, writte...
