Hi All,
I am trying to customize my cursors. I have followed the directions in Stephen Goldberg example and webpage. I have tried making my own png images and using icons downloaded from the web.
Basically, I want the cursor to become a highlighter when the user clicks on a button.
What happens is that the cursor becomes a white square or a white filled image. Stephen Goldberg talks about this problem in his example.
Any suggestions about how to fix this problem?
Thanks

Cursors are a little finicky in Rev. IIRC they must be GIFs, and the first color must be the mask color.
Because most GIF-generating tools use all sorts of different ways of ordering the colors, I often find it easier to not make the mask at all, and just make a 16x16 image and bring it into Rev where I use the paint tool to erase the empty region. A bit more work, but modifying the image in Rev always assures the color order is correct for use as a cursor.
