(Request) Cursor Color Selection
Please help an old man (66) whose visual ain't what it used to be when I wore the clothes of a younger man.
As a lifelong gamer I have had to give up twitch games and now find solace in 4X games especially the X-Series. I do little combat but it is impossible to avoid at times. I use a mouse cursor and have a really hard time recognizing the light blue cursor in the heat of battle.
So please take pity on an old retired fart and lend a helping hand.

Re: (Request) Cursor Color Selection
What color would you like the cursor to be? I can quickly recolor them or increase the contrast for you.
Let me know and i get on it.
But please note that will mark your game as modified.

Re: (Request) Cursor Color Selection
Ok here you go, i made a few versions to choose from so you can mix and match if needed.
First one is a bit brighter and has more contrast to it.

Second one is a brighter green variant also with a bit more contrast.
https://mega.nz/#!DAFRCQCA!tpRcfJ2u8B42 ... PAy_i-NRf8
Third one is a red variant and you guessed it with a bit higher contrast.
https://mega.nz/#!KMlFFYrZ!C8bd7mEwtRU0 ... MkfA1XScW4
And the last one is the Rebirth variant who had bigger cursors for the main actions.

Cursors go into your main X4 installation folder into the "mousecursors" folder. ie. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\X4 Foundations\mousecursors"
I recommend making a backup of the "mousecursors" folder before, just in case you want to go back to a certain cursor.
Happy new Year and fly safe.

Nah, no problem changes like that don't take long.
Re: (Request) Cursor Color Selection
Hey guys I know this thread is a tad old. I was hoping the other colors here can get uploaded to Steam if you would. If I knew how I would potentially even make a tool to choose a color from a spectrum of others.

Hello,
@FlynTie: I found your modification thanks to facc00's post and have to say thank you very much for it! It helps a lot!
Greetings
You have too replace the files in the "mousecursors" folder and this can not be done by the steam-workshop.

Re: (Request) Cursor Color Selection
I mean I guess several uploads wouldnt be a problem. Just not sure how to edit those files in the folder.
Re: (Request) Cursor Color Selection
Would anyone mind making me a set of light purple or lavender mouse cursors, matching the hud theme of the paranid ships? I have a lot of trouble seeing the dark blue mouse pointer too, and I really like the paranid cockpits so... ^_^
