Hi Mark,

Sorry I've taken so long to respond. I've been out of town for the last few days.

I'm not really sure what the problem would be. I had a pre-existing jpg image that I started with. I had to edit that image so that it only used three colors (some color very close to black (1,0,0 in my case), white, and then a transparent color). I set the transparency (using Paint Shop Pro, btw), then saved it has a gif. I imported that into Rev, used the pencil tool to edit a pixel, then I just hit undo to remove my changes to the image. I set the cursor and it worked fine for me.

Not sure if that'll help or not. It sounds like you've followed the same steps, except for using 0,0,1 instead of 1,0,0 for your "black". Don't know if that would make a difference or not.

Chris,

I tried as you suggest, but without success. I have an image of 16x16 pixels, containing three colours: some transparent colour, rgb value 0,0,1 and white. I saved it as a png and as a gif file.

The png file is completely white, except for the transparent area, when imported. If I use the pencil tool to change one pixel, it becomes completely black (except the transparent area). If I import the gif file, it gets completely black and stays black after changing a pixel (except transparent area).

Would you be willing to describe the process step by step?

Best,

Mark

For anyone who is even remotely interested, Jonathan has figured out this little problem. It turns out that using black in the cursor images is the problem. So use some other color very close to black (RGB 1,0,0 for example) instead of black. Then after importing your image into Rev, use Rev's pencil tool to change a pixel or two, then just undo your changes (I'm not sure what exactly this does, but it doesn't work without this step). Then just set your cursor like normal. Works like a charm.
Thanks again, Jonathan.

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.
