I need help with custom cursors

[Lynch, Jonathan]

Try this...

1) Pick an image used for one of Rev's prebuilt cursors.
(It will be in a folder labeled something like C:/program
files/Revolution 2.6/components/global environment - the stack is titled
revcursors)
2) Copy it over to your stack.
3) Change the image with revs image tools to suit your needs.
4) Set the cursor to the id of the image when appropriate.


The revcursors stack that contains cursor images has images for both mac
and win (they are labeled that way) - make sure you choose an image that
is appropriate for your OS.

Subject: I need help with custom cursors

Hi All,

I know this subject has been brought up many times, but I can't seem  
to get the results I want.  I'm following all the steps as outlined  
in the docs, and I've even tried the few tricks that have been posted  
here in the past, but all my custom cursor images are still getting  
the colors inverted when I set them.

So here's what I've done.  I created a three-color gif image of an  
hourglass (using Paint Shop Pro 6):  black, white, and a sort of teal  
color set as the transparent color.  When I import the file into my  
stack, the image looks perfect.  But when I set the cursor to the id  
of my image, the colors are inverted.  Like I said, I even tried  
using Rev's drawing tools to edit the image cause that's a trick that  
everyone is saying works, but for some reason it didn't work in this  
case.  But what's weird is I swear I've done that in the past and it  
has worked.  So I don't know what the difference was, except that I  
was probably using a different version of Rev.  I'm now using 2.6  
(build 108) on WinXP.

If anyone has any other ideas, I would be most grateful.

Thanks,
