Hi Guys,

I'm looking to make a theme that includes my custom mouse cursor. However, I don't know if it is possible to change the mouse pointer without using the Window's mouse interface within the control panel.

If possible, does any one know any command line that I can change the mouse pointer/cursor without using the mouse interface?

Thanks,

you can do it by installing a ini file. Check some of the cursor sets that are out there...they should show you how.

Thanks for the tips DeViLbOi,

how about windows'command line that would change to a specific cursor? I'd like to know if there is a command that I can use to change the cursor, so I can create a .bat file.

Thanks,

Im sure something could be referenced to install the ini file. Don't know it off the top of my head.

I've been google around for weeks now and all I could find is some thing like this:

CONTROL main.cpl,@0,1 -> to popup the mouse cursor interface
rundll32 user32 ???

I couldn't figure out what is the next parameter for the above commands to change to a different cursor just using dos command.

I get rather annoyed when a Litestep theme mucks around with things that aren't part of Litestep. If you really think people will like your mouse cursors, include them in the archive, and reference them in the readme. If people like them they'll use them, if not they won't.

As for changing the cursors, it is a registry setting. Go look at a "cursor pack" for download somewhere. Generally they'll include a .reg file to merge the new set of cursors.

Thank you for the comment! I would not expect anyone to likes my cursor. I am just looking forward to learn and experience the things that you can do to windows; this is only for my personal benefits. Some how, finding this out is leading to a wrong approach for using LiteStep.

I will try the cursor pack, and see what its can help me with.

Thanks
