Well, since no other ideas appear to be coming in, I'm wondering if
anyone out there has any custom cursors that work that you would be
willing to share. I'm looking for an hourglass along with left,
right, up and down pointing fingers (much like they had/have in the
Myst games. Anyone?
Thanks.

Well, I tried your suggestion, Jonathan. Unfortunately, it didn't
work either. I copied the pointer cursor over to my stack and drew
in my hourglass image over the top of it. After I finished my
beautiful drawing, I set the cursor and the colors were still
inverted. How could this happen? Could there be a bug? Creating
and using a custom cursor should not be this hard?
Does anyone else have any ideas?

Try this...
1) Pick an image used for one of Rev's prebuilt cursors.
(It will be in a folder labeled something like C:/program
files/Revolution 2.6/components/global environment - the stack is
titled
revcursors)
2) Copy it over to your stack.
3) Change the image with revs image tools to suit your needs.
4) Set the cursor to the id of the image when appropriate.
The revcursors stack that contains cursor images has images for
both mac
and win (they are labeled that way) - make sure you choose an
image that
is appropriate for your OS.

Subject: I need help with custom cursors
Hi All,
I know this subject has been brought up many times, but I can't seem
to get the results I want. I'm following all the steps as outlined
in the docs, and I've even tried the few tricks that have been posted
here in the past, but all my custom cursor images are still getting
the colors inverted when I set them.
So here's what I've done. I created a three-color gif image of an
hourglass (using Paint Shop Pro 6): black, white, and a sort of teal
color set as the transparent color. When I import the file into my
stack, the image looks perfect. But when I set the cursor to the id
of my image, the colors are inverted. Like I said, I even tried
using Rev's drawing tools to edit the image cause that's a trick that
everyone is saying works, but for some reason it didn't work in this
case. But what's weird is I swear I've done that in the past and it
has worked. So I don't know what the difference was, except that I
was probably using a different version of Rev. I'm now using 2.6
(build 108) on WinXP.
If anyone has any other ideas, I would be most grateful.
Thanks,
