Hi,

Messing with Synergy and I'm curious -- is it possible to enable a mouse cursor to be shown all the time? I'm currently using this quick hack I knocked up

PHP Code:


			
#include <gdk/gdkx.h>

#include <gtk/gtk.h>



int main (void)

{

    GdkPixbuf *pixbuf = NULL;

    GdkCursor *cursor = NULL; 



    gtk_init (NULL, NULL);



    pixbuf = gtk_icon_theme_load_icon (gtk_icon_theme_get_default (), "browser_cursor", 32, 0, NULL);

    g_assert (pixbuf);

    gint x = (gdk_pixbuf_get_width (pixbuf) / 2) - 7; /* Maths is shitty */

    gint y = (gdk_pixbuf_get_height (pixbuf) / 2) - 7;



    cursor = gdk_cursor_new_from_pixbuf (gdk_display_get_default (), pixbuf, x, y); /* I should be freeing you (and others)... */

    g_assert (cursor);

    gdk_window_set_cursor (gdk_window_foreign_new (GDK_ROOT_WINDOW ()), cursor);

    g_idle_add ((GSourceFunc) gtk_main_quit, NULL);

    gtk_main ();

    

    return 0;

}

but the cursor flickers a lot. :\ Would anyone know if it's possible to replace the cursors, like it was on the N800?

I would like to know also there's cursors in /usr/share/icons/default/cursors and they are symlinked to the file "transp" which is an transparent cursor i think? Replacing it with a non-transparent would fix it?

I replaced my transp with a red dot I made. Works.

can you explain how you did this? Got synergy working but it's useless without a cursor.

Replacing them with the Bluecurve-inverse ones certainly did not work for me. All I got was some selection cursors in Evince, a mouse cursor in Tear and a mouse cursor in Qt apps. Not in anything else at all.

Back to my hack which actually works.
