    Unhappy Colour Pointers in C Graphics

    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...
    Help everyone you can

    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....
