Windows 11 22H2 Cursors being applied to the wrong slots

ShayBox commented 11 months ago

I installed all the cursors/pointers using the install.inf file but everyone is in the wrong slot.

I'm on Windows 11 22H2 (22621.2428)

This is an unrelated request and I know the old Bee/Rainbow/Zebra cursors are unsupported, but could you fix this issue?, they still work otherwise, and don't need any other changes. I really like the animated cursors and want to use them.

The install.inf appears to have a cursor list in the wrong order:

[Scheme.Reg]
HKCU,"Control Panel\Cursors\Schemes","%SCHEME_NAME%",,"%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%alternate%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%busy%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%cross%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%dgn1%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%dgn2%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%grabbing%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%handwriting%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%help%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%horz%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%link%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%move%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%pan%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%person%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%pin%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%pointer%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%text%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%unavailable%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%vert%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%work%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%zoom-in%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%zoom-out%"

It appears sorted alphabetically:

%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%alternate%
%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%busy%
%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%cross%
%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%dgn1%

%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%vert%
%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%work%
%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%zoom-in%
%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%zoom-out%

While it should be:

HKCU,"Control Panel\Cursors\Schemes","%SCHEME_NAME%",,"%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%pointer%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%help%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%work%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%busy%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%cross%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%text%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%handwriting%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%unavailable%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%vert%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%horz%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%dgn1%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%dgn2%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%move%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%alternate%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%link%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%pin%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%person%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%pan%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%grabbing%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%zoom-in%,%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%zoom-out%"

Listed vertically:

%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%pointer%
%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%help%
%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%work%
%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%busy%
%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%cross%
%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%text%
%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%handwriting%
%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%unavailable%

%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%link%
%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%pin%
%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%person%
%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%pan%
%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%grabbing%
%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%zoom-in%
%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%zoom-out%

A quick online search reveals:

The cursor schemes contain the path to the cursors for the different cursor types as a comma delimited list. Below are the individual pieces.

Arrow, Help, AppStarting, Wait, Crosshair, IBeam, NWPen, No, SizeNS, SizeWE, SizeNWSE, SizeNESW, SizeAll, UpArrow, Hand (without the leading spaces)

The given list doesn't include the newer "Pin" and "Person" entries (#133). Not sure about the last four:

%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%pan%
%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%grabbing%
%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%zoom-in%
%10%\%CUR_DIR%\%zoom-out%

They get truncated after being saved to the Registry, at least on Windows 10.

@ShayBox, you may give one of the packages I've attached to https://github.com/ful1e5/Bibata_Cursor/issues/149#issuecomment-1783941787 a try.

ShayBox commented 11 months ago

Those worked! 👍 Though they were installed as duplicates because they lack the Cursors suffix like before, without it they match the Classic cursors, but don't match the Bee/Rainbow/Zebra cursors. I just had to delete the old ones manually.

Any solution for this? I just installed and saw the problem. The order is in a mess

stanio commented 9 months ago

@Ember04, any of:

If you're using the Modern variants you could give the packages referenced in https://github.com/ful1e5/Bibata_Cursor/issues/154#issuecomment-1784048253 a try;

You could try fixing the install.inf as suggested in https://github.com/ful1e5/Bibata_Cursor/issues/154#issuecomment-1783938013, before installing:

You could set up a "Bibata" cursor theme/scheme manually, as suggested in https://github.com/ful1e5/Bibata_Cursor/issues/137#issuecomment-1731713946

@ShayBox I hope this issue is resolved in v2.0.5.
