Ted, I know you can set the cursor to an image file. We did this to remove the cursor on a touchscreen app. Here is some code.
Cursor = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createCustomCursor(cursorImg.getImage(), new Point(hotX, hotY), "name"); frame.setCursor(cursor); The above lines of code were simplfied from our app. We used a GIF with transparancy. So, just load the image (using ImageIcon...), pick the hot point within it, create the cursor and set it on your frame or panel. David PS. I can't vouch for the quality vs. standard cursors Ted Hill wrote: >Hello, > >I am working on an image viewer that displays gray-scale images. > >When the mouse is in the viewer, I set the cursor to the cross hair. > >When the cross hair cursor is over black background, it is white. > >When over white background it is black. > >However, when over a gray background it is gray ==> INVISIBLE. > >Is there some other cursor that can be used for gray scale images and still >allow the user 'fine' control when selecting points on an image? > >I tried creating a yellow cross hair with the vertical and horizontal lines >only 1 pixel wide, but its appearance was 'crude' compared to the built-in >cross hair. > >Thank you, > >Ted Hill > >=========================================================================== >To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body >of the message "signoff JAVA2D-INTEREST".
