Colored cursor

[maverick_pol]

Hi guys,

I would like to ask how to create a, lets say, red cursor? I have my own red crosscursor pixmap, but the QCursor looks as supports only black/white/transparent colors.
Thanks for any advice.

Looks like you are right, at least according to the documentation.

On X11, Qt supports the Xcursor library, which allows for full color icon themes
This suggests full color cursors are not supported on other platforms. It might be a documentation flaw, though.

Hi,

THanks. This topic sounds a bit similar to the "red button" problem. It's less problematic thought. : )
Ok, thanks for the comment.

Coloured cursors should be available on all platforms, as when you drag an object, you can set a pixmap as a representation of the drag and it works on all platforms, as far as I know, so there are ways to have coloured cursors. Try peeking Qt's sources to find out more.

I can always create an item representing the cursor and move it as needed, but was looking for a "typical" solution : )

Thanks
