I had a wee fiddle, but didnt gain any particular new insights. I still dont know where QD gets its cursor sprite from. But then I dont really need to know. The golden, blinking sprite is good enough for me..

I designed some bizarre cursor sprites! but nothing to write home about.

Theres nothing special about the system sprites, theyre just standard Wman sprites.

Can the sprite cursor in QD be changed or is the definition hard coded in QD.

Maybe a disassembly project, since my requests release the QD source code went on deaf ears.


Regards,

Derek

Of course "hard coded", as it is a sprite. But with a suitable program, you can find the addresses in the program (there are several!) and patch it. Qmg v2 can do this viewtopic.php?t=3019

I once have done that with "Hot Install", JM's first PE program.
