Changing mouse curser sign

F_Dos's icon

Is it possible to change the mouse curser in the max app to different sign? like adding a small icon to it?

F_Dos's icon

I did something like this:

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

The issue in the following example is that the curser is still visable and the fpic object is not exactly in the curser position rather in some offset. Is it possible to place the fpic object on the curser itself so it will look as the curser was replaced by the picture?

Source Audio's icon

you can not expect mousestate mode 0
and fpic position to be in sync.
well, only if you make no toolbars, no menu , no title patcher

which has same screen coordinates and size as screen itself

next problem is, even if you hide mouse pointer and see only fpic,
(using ; max hidecursor & ; max showcursor to rescue messages)
fpic will be hidden when you cover any gui object,
or you will not be able to click on anything

try this one, use space bar to toggle states

P.S.
embed fpic file if you want others to see it when you upload patchers here.
same applies to all subpatchers and similar stuff, that are local only to your computer.
