FPP:Cursor

[PauloGGPX]

I developed this after a Plugin project that has never seen the light of day, I started it as a test but then I just started adding more and more features…

It was sitting in my hard drive for ages, but today the subject of the FPP cursor was brought up, so I decided to release this :) hope you all like it.

We can customize the cursors, snap to 45º angles and determine the minimum movement distance to change cursors.

How to use:

First add it like any FPP plugin:

layer_80 = fppcursor.swf

Then add a parameters block like this:

<FPPCursor>
iconNormal=normal.png
iconMove=move.png
iconPress=press.png
snapAngle=true
minMovement=2
</FPPCursor>

So the parameters are:

iconNormal - The URL of the image for the cursor when the mouse isn’t pressed

iconMove - The URL of the image for the cursor when the mouse is pressed and the mouse is moving (dragging)

iconPress - The URL of the image for the cursor when the mouse is pressed but isn’t moving

snapAngle - If the cursor “snaps” to 45º angles (true) or rotates freely (false)

minMovement - The distance in pixels to move the cursor after pressing the mouse, to be considered a drag

pretty self explanatory, but if you have any questions, just ask :)
and as always I'm open to suggestions.

Download FPP:cursor v0.2 (http://go360.gogopixel.pt/fppcursor/)

Note: known bugs:
Button rollover doesn't change the cursor (yet)
Cursors in fullscreen are a bit "sensitive"
I'll see what's going on with this bugs as son as I have time.
Thanks to all that reported them :)

Great new pluguin !!!

thanks for sharing it with us ;)

I've seen strange behaviour in fullscreen mode

Great plugin. Thanks Paulo.
The only problem I found with it - there is no hand cursor possibility. So nothing indicates we can click on something. Sure it can be done by adding for example onOver glow to elements or to make them visible in some other way.

Thank you for this nice plugin, Paulo. Another nice addon for FPP

one beauty spot as Jordy said, in the 1st seconds of fullscreen mode, the mouse arrow shows up as long as the 'press ESC to exit full screen mode' dialog is visible.

Thanks Yvan,

I'm remaking this one based on the cursor plugin Denis made available (and that other users modified) on the mailing list.

Now I just need some time.... I'll post it as soon as I finish it :)

absolutely no hurry for me, Paulo :)
