Colour Pointers in C Graphics

[vsriharsha]

This is something i really need.
Can someone tell me how to use coloured cursors instead of the boaring B/W cursors through C under DOS.

I believe no service under interrupt 0x33 (mouse interrupt) is given for colours...

you make your own bitmap and floodfill it with whatever color you want the cursor to be.

lol...when i first read the title i was like, "you mean pointers to variables can be different colors! cooooll...." but you meant cursors....:(

i wanted to make my int pointers green...

I've not left that Idea Buddy...
I've created a bitmap that I want (using all colours etc) and was overlapping it on the mouse cursor but the problem started when I was moving my mouse fast. If i move it slowly the effect is cool but when i increase the speed its making a mess on the screen...

So, need to dig in more...

Warm Regards

what graphics mode are you using? I dont see why it would get messy with moving fast...

You just put in on a surface...then blit the surface to the screen at the new mouse coords....
