    loading cursor in allegro

    Hi!

    Now I started learning Allegro and I must say it's pretty cool.

    My problem with loading cursor is next. Please take a look at this picture. How can I get rid off that grey background so that, only the hand will be seen?

    I think you need to fill the grey areas with a transparent color. If you are using 8-bit color depth it's usually black, and for 15-bit and higher it's magic pink(R255,G0,B255);

    Hmmm, another stupid question. How do I set the color to transparent? I'm using ACD FotoCanvas 2.0.

    Never heard of ACD FotoCanvas 2.0 before. It's simple as loading your cursor into a program like MS Paint and floodfill the grey areas with black.
