Cursors in Captivate 2

Hello folks,

I'm trying to create custom cursors that will let me click on captured scroll bars. I am sure you all have run into the problem where the cursor bounding box won't let you place the cursor over the right side scroll bar because it runs into the edge of the captured area. The same occurs with a bottom scroll bar.

I'm having trouble finding the right cursor in Windows and I do not know how to put a custom cursor in the scrolling window that shows the cursors. How do I do this in Captivate 2?

Thanks,

Greg

    Hi Greg

    For scroll bars on the right I created a right pointing mouse which you can download on THIS LINK. There is a txt file included giving directions.

    Another tip, if you are using "double mouse size", is to position the mouse in small, or normal, size and then double the size after it is in place.

    Cheers

    Andrew

    PS In your mouse properties dialogue box you should have a bunch of different cursors available at the top (rusty on Captivate 2) with a browse button somewhere there that you can use to search for other cursors. I tend to drop all my custom into the default folder which is C:/Windows/Cursors on my machine.
