Colour & Pointer
As I have discussed the 16 MWB palette elsewhere Click Here to find out more.
This pointer is my creation.
After seeing the multitude of arrows and other weird and wonderful pointers out there I
thought it was time to develop my own pointer. It is a picture of a cartoon-like hand
with an out-stretched index finger for the pointer. The wait picture is like the original
Zzz cloud. I think they look much better than arrows and give my AMIGA (and maybe yours too)
an individual touch that only owners of INTEL Based Machines can only drool over - Ha Ha.
There is one small problem which I don't quite understand :-/. When you click on the pointer
icon the hand looks okay but the Zzz cloud has part of its side missing. To overcome this I
suggest that you use Iconian or IconEdit and load the def_BUSYdisk icon and copy the Zzz cloud
from it. Save it as an image and import it to the Pointer prefs program as the BUSY image.
Sorry for any inconvenience. If someone can suggest a way around this problem please let ME
know.
I have also given this pointer and wait picture to Antonio Santos, the author of Sleeping
Pointers, and he will try to animate the cloud and possibly the hand too. I can't wait for
that one :-). If your interested in high resolution animated pointers check his program out
on the Aminet in util/cdity SleepingPointers.lha. A new larger release is due soon. It will
be called MagicPointer!
