Slick Forums

Hi guys, I'm using slick for about 2 years for my hobby project but not constantly.

I have a problem with correct setup of mouse cursor with TWL+Slick2D.
I have defined cursor in my theme:

Then i set it as default cursor to my "-defaults" theme, which is base for all other themes:

But this has no effect. I'm using approach described in TWL wiki.

Furthermore I've tried to setup cursor using slick api:

Depending on where i place that code i get different results:
in init() method - cursor appears for about half a second, then default system cursor takes place.
in render() method - cursor switching between my cursor and system cursor.
in update() method - cursor stays default.

cursor.png and theme.xml are located in same folder. My skinned button works well, so it's not pathing problem, something with TWL not properly setting cursor from widget or something i guess.

You should not specify imageRef="none" - as the presence of this attribute alone will create a SW cursor using the specified image ("none" ==> invisible SW cursor).

As for how Slicks cursor setting works (or how it interacts with TWL's) I have no idea.

MatthiasM, That's how theme editor generates markup with default settings. I've manually removed imageRef and now it works! Thanks a lot.

For Slick and twl integration about cursor - Slick api sets up cursor using OpenGL setNativeCursor method, but I bet it's overriden by TWL gui.setCursor() in postUpdateState method. So that's why I was getting results mentioned above. Thanks again for quick and clean response.

Ok, I fixed the cursor editor. You can now enable/disable the imageRef property on a cursor.

That's good to hear and thanks for quick fix
Also, isn't it a bug then when I set imageRef property to "none" system cursor is still displayed? Shouldn't it disappear?

It should hide the system cursor - I think it somehow interacts with Slick.
