Re: FVWM: Own mouse pointers: define hot spot?

I've never found out how to create an xpm with a hotspot. But you can trick fvwm into using the correct hotspot by using a larger image and shifting it so that the hotspot is in the middle of the picture. E.g. if your image looks like this: *xx.. xx... x.x.. ...x. x * = hotspot x = black . = transparent Pad it like this: . . . . *xx.. xx... x.x.. ...x. x Bye Dominik ^_^ ^_^ -- Dominik Vogt, mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED], phone: 0721/91374-382 Schlund + Partner AG, Erbprinzenstr. 4-12, D-76133 Karlsruhe -- Visit the official FVWM web page at URL: http://www.fvwm.org/.

On Solaris, I use the dticon utility to create most of the cursors I use. Dticon lets you set a cursor's hotspot with a mouse click on its enlarged image.
