Cursor image does not show up #174

Open honggexjq opened 2 years ago

I have tried to edit my cursor profile but only the "Arrow" image can successfully show up. Other images are not visible. What did I do wrong? image

I don't think you're doing anything wrong. I can see that your cursor image is 32x32 pixels which is proper. Setting the Crosshair hotspot to 16, 16 helps down the line too 🙂 I know you are probably getting around to that.

Have you been through the whole list of cursors and found that each and everyone doesn't work? I read your comment. I'm just asking for confirmation.

Try opening your cursor image in an graphics editor such as any free paint app or any other that you may already have bought. I would imagine Preview can open the image and then see if it's anything. Convert to PNG if it's all ICO files you're pasting in?!

Thanks. Some pics indeed don't show up in preview. It's strange that they are working fine in Windows. Any idea how that happen? image

.cur files ought to work, but there could be instances where that's not the case.

In any case, I believe that a quick solution is to use rename all .cur files to .pngvia Automator.

Or if that's not the solution then you can perhaps share just one of the .curfiles you're having issue with?

.ani files are a bit tougher to work around and there's a few solutions available that requires different tactics.

Oh, and btw.. I didn't mean to open QuickLook in macOS - I meant open the .curfiles in the Preview.app that comes with macOS.

3dgbeam.cur.zip Here is one of the cur file. Same result in preview - showing blank

I agree, it's odd to say the least - works as you say on Windows, but not on macOS. Despite it being a regular .cur file. I think that it's because it has a flag set from Windows that doesn't translate well on macOS - a permission flag. Let me try setting some flags for the cursor your sent - I'll get back to you in a timely matter.

Well, that didn't yield any results 😞
