fktk1.3 mouse cursor for window corners has mising shape

(1/2) > >>

nick65go:
In flwm/ fltk 1.10,  used in core 4.x and 5.x, the mose auto change its shape in a oblique arrow line when the mouse is on a window corner. But in the new fltk 1.3 the mouse does not show this behavior, so it is VERY hard to grab the corner of any window to resize.

I think this is in both 32 and 64 bits versions, and both normal/top-side window title.

nick65go:
Any chances for the new Tinycore 14 to have a FLWM (the Fast Light Window Manager) with different shape-cursor-corners (versus edge shape cursor), same as it was initially (long time ago)?

It may be you're the only one who cares about this issue - in which case it will happen if you do it.

nick65go:
Nice, thanks for the quick answer. So I think that I will grab it from older TC versions; even any JWM (ver 1.x, 2.x) has this feature. I resurrected this subject just because 1500+ views of the topic. ;)

Hi nick65go
Turns out I care about this issue too, so I decided to spend some time looking
into it. The code to set the cursor to a diagonal double arrow is still present in
flwm.  I ran strace on the cursor test program in fltk-1.3.5 and even though it
requested a diagonal cursor the library loaded the default cursor instead. It
appears the diagonal cursors are compiled into the library yet it acted like
they were not present and loaded the fallback cursor instead.

I recompiled fltk-1.3.5 with  xcursor  enabled and the diagonal cursors worked
again.
