Greetings all; I have tde R14.0.#up-to-date installed on the computer running one of my milling machines, and there are occasions when I pick up the mouse to use it about 4 feet away. Thats getting close to its range limit as both the keyboard and mouse are RF. (bluetooth?) So I set it for the biggest mouse pointer in order to see it better from that distance. But while the std sized pointer seems opaque, the larger one is quite translucent which reduces its visual contrast. Is this fixable to be fully opaque someplace?

Humm, maybe in the repo's, I found two kits that weren't even installed, one was labeled as being an opaque kit for right handed rodents. And updated 30 some tde packages on both this machine, and the dell running the mill. I just did that 2 hours ago. So we'll see when I get to that machine and do a logout, login. Thanks for the nudge in the ribs, I thought it was all installed. Duh..

UCT-5 or something like that. A few past 18:00 or 6PM locally.

Obviously somebody has created these mouse cursors, and they probably didn't do it by typing a series of zeroes and ones into a file. Is there a standard "cursor editor" software application? Or at least a standard way to create a cursor theme?
