Cursor Calls for Alternate White Cursor

I-beam and Cross need an alternate call for dark backgrounds

May 15, 2020 7:17 AM from

I have been using CursorFX 4 for a few weeks now. I have created a cursor set which I like, but have noticed that the cross and the I-beam don't show up in a dark background unless a white shadow is included as part of the design. I have tried adding a white shadow to my cursors, but don't like the way they look in a light background. The i-beam is especially annoying in black text on a white background. A lot of apps call their own cursors and have calls for alternate white cursors. The default Windows Aero cursors have a white alternate for the cross and I-beam.

As a suggestion for future builds, it would be nice to include a feature that would allow an alternate cursor call which would be used when the background is dark. For now, I have to use Control+Shift+C when the white cross or I-beam cursors are needed.

Thanks for your consideration.

I found a solution to this issue by using a color for the Cross and I-beam which shows equally well in light or dark backgrounds.
