3.6.1
Appropriate cursor for video applications
If displaying video it is important to work with an appropriate cursor. E
OS
uses always a hardware cursor, if not a
colored pointer scheme is selected. A hardware cursor has the advantage, that it is permanently visible also on
video, whereas a software cursor is only sporadically visible on video windows. When a colored pointer scheme
is selected, Windows automatically switches to a software cursor. Therefore use the standard pointer scheme or,
if using another pointer scheme, try out if it is correctly displayed over video.
