Closed dhavalbc closed 4 months ago

dhavalbc commented 1 year ago

there is no way to enable virtual cursor using webrender. Please consider adding this as a feature.

Can you elaborate what you mean by virtual cursor?

dhavalbc commented 1 year ago

virtual cursor enables us overlay a cursor image on webcontent that is being rendered, this will be helpful for systems that are using webrender as rendering engine(Firefox OS) overlay a cursor image when pointing device is connected. so, webrender can consider adding api to set a cursor image and an api to set x, y coordinates where the cursor has to be rendered. and if this feature is enabled, webrender can overlay the mouse cursor over the webcontent.

do we already have progress for this virtual cursor issue?

We use Firefox Gecko engine for OS used in non-touch device. We need enable virtual cursor in browser so that consumer can move the virtual cursor to select different contents by D-PAD

Isn't this beyond the scope of WebRender? If your application needs a virtual cursor you can add this to WebRender's display list or move a window over the application itself.

Yes agreed, you can close this request as we have implemented the same.
