I noted that the most recent version from SVN, has a "new"? set of Mouse pointers? And I guess they are *not* new by intention.

Unfortunately I couldn't get a screenshoot, as the default windows scree-grabber, doesn't take pictures of the mouse... (Suggestions/Instructions welcome)

a few examples (haven't tested too many):

- The "Hand" cursur (it appears when the mouse hovers over a word in Synedit, and CTRL is pressed (that is, when the word is highlighted as link) It used to be a black contur/border (shaped as a hand) and white inside. Now it is all black.

- The "double-arrow" / "move a splitter" cursor, it looks like painted in bold.

Also both of this cursors would have a one line white outer border around there shape, so the do distinguish them self from black text. This also seems to be missing.

I know this is currently under process, just want to make sure this part is known?

Best Regards
Martin

Are you talking about carbon? On other widgetsets that should not happen. I know that currently on carbon we have some unimplemented parts.

No I am talking windows Vista 32bit home edition.

I do need to check (when I am home in the evening), if it is related to my global windows theme setting (as I disabled AERO ).

Just tested:
-Using this night Snapshot (FPC 2.2.0) on XP SP2 => all looks fine -Using SVN trunc (1 or 2 days old by now; will verify with the latest tonight) with fpc 2.3.1 on Vista => issues

I'll update this tonight. I first wanted to confirm this change was not intended. But seeing it under XP all working, did answer that part.

Best Regards
Martin
