More Visible Mouse Cursor - Hotspot?

Post by RealKlepto » Fri, 6. Jan 23, 14:06

Hi All

Long time X player, new to X4.

I'd like to make the mouse pointer more visible. I know where the cursors are and can make them a nice bright yellow colour but I'd like to make them bigger too. It's easy to make the images bigger, but... I'm using icotool to set the hotspot in the .cur file, but X4 doesn't seem to honour the hotspot and the bigger cursors click the the wrong place. Is there a way to do this?

I find the mouse pointer hard to see on a 4K screen, dull blue against a dark space background. There seems to be no option to increase the size in the game. I'm on Linux, perhaps the pointer scales on Windows, but not for me.

Any help would be, well, helpful :D

Hi again

A small update in case anyone has the same problem. The small mouse cursor appears to be a issue with xorg and/or the AMD drivers. Running X4 in wayland doesn't have the same problem, the cursor is the size it should be. Not quite a fix, but at least it makes the game playable :D
