Mouse Cursor invisible any time it is over Celestia window

[Jake]

This works fine on my work PC, but just installed Celestia at home, from the same zip file, to find that the cursor disappears when over the Celestia window. The key controls all work fine (h, c and so on) so the program seems to be running okay (if a little jerkily - despite 128 RAM, 32-bit, 600X800).

Any ideas welcome.

Cheers

Hi

I encountered the same problem after changing back from full screen mode to windowed mode.

My config:
Thunderbird 1200, GF2MX, 512M, WinXPPro

Any seggustions welcome

Hi guys...

I've installed Celestia 1.3.1 Pre11 and had the same problem. It seems that Chris is attempting to use the CROSSHAIR cursor for more accurate? object selection? - But on my system, my crosshair cursor is so fine that I can't see it at all on the main screen. I'm just wondering if we might be able to use another crosshair cursor?

Just a thought. We should be able to change the default cursor set.

Take care, Bob

PS - I'm also using the freeware package CursorXP to get larger cursors since I don't see very well either.

Go into the windows control panel > mouse settings.

Click on the "pointers" tab, and scroll down to "precision select". Click browse, and pick one that will display ok in celestia.

Et voila! Works fine! I think this question is in the FAQ sticky too
