Pointers in Amiga OS4.1

Hi All,

I been trying to adjust the colours of the pointer.

I been using the pointer editor in the prefs drawer.

But each time I make an attempt save, test, use, etc.

The changes are not taking into effect even with a reboot.

It just defaulting on the red pointer instead.

I notice there other pointers to to try like black and white but even that not changing either.

Any ideas on how to change the pointer?

Thanks.

You'll be using a 32-bit pointer, which are in ENVARC:Sys (I think they are called things like def_pointer.info - you'll need to use an icon editor to modify them).
If the 32-bit pointers are in use the pointers in pointers Prefs aren't used.

Thanks for the reply.

Ok, I found the file as you suggested.

Indeed it is a red arrow.

You say I need to use an icon editor?

Not the pref folder's pointer application to edit the def_pointer.info file?

If yes, any recommendations, thanks.

@Boabster

Yes, or you can remove/rename it and then you can use the old pointer prefs.

I can't remember which icon editors work, hopefully somebody can chime in.

@Chris,

Thanks for your replies.

It is very much appreciated.

I now got it, i rename the def_pointer.info file.

That allowed the pref's pointer editor to change the original pointer.

To a nice bold lime color to allow me to visually see the pointer more clearly on my monitor.

Many thanks again.
