Invisible Mouse Cursor with Cursor XP

Post by **Guest** » 13.03.2008 11:29:19

I got it! Thanks guys!

All right, for anyone else that finds this:

1. Open Dexpot, click Desktop Rules (just above About)
2. Click Assistant
3. Name the rule CursorXP
4. Under Condition 1,

Window Class is type CursorXP

5. Under Action 1, select Copy, and To all Desktops

You're all set!

Have a look at the Dexpot Help

How do I access the rules, then? All I need is a basic step-by-step instruction on how to make this change work.

You do not create a class. Windows have classes and you make a rule according to these classes.
You can get the class of a window using the selection tool in Dexpot rules.

WinXP SP2, Dexpot 1.4 and CursorXP 1.31, the workaround did work for me, but only after restarting Dexpot. Let's hope it still works after the next reboot. :-)

I figured out how to fix this:

Create a rule where

Window Class is CursorXP
Copy to all Desktops

Set the rule to apply automatically. f1x0r3d. :cool:

CursorXP actually creates a small window, you can see a little square on the Preview. The window doesnt have a title, but it has a class name!

In case the devs are wondering, i'm running WinXP SP2, Dexpot 1.4, CursorXP 1.31, and Logitech mouseware 9.80. I wonder if the mouse driver has something to do with it... might explain why some people didnt experience the problem.

I experienced the exact same issues the first poster had. Mouse only on the 1st desktop on startup. Cycling cursorXP off and on would add it to that particular desktop for the rest of that session (until dexpot closed). Needed to go to every desktop and cycle cursorxp every time it started, kind of annoying.

I found that CursorXP was conflicting with several other programs, not Dexpot alone. So I removed CursorXP; just like some other products from Stardock I tried.

Stardock products might look good, but when it causes problems with Windows programs (where Dexpot is just one of them) and those programs run fine without a Stardock product, then the answer is simple for me; I won't bother with it.

I'm using Windows XP SP2, Dexpot 1.3, and my CursorXP mouse pointer also disappears when I change desktops. Unfortunately, I had to disable CursorXP for the time being.

I also use 'cursor xp' and had the problem of the cursor disapearing when changing desktop. The only way that worked for me was to use the 'mananger' to change desktops.

Even with the manager set to small icons I find it gets in the way at times.
Would be better if the Manager just consisted of short thin coloured lines down the right edge of the screen.

Recently I discovered Dexpot 1.3 (witch appear has the best virtual desktop manager I seen), helas the same problem occurs with CursorXP.

The mouse cursor is present on the first desktop and when I switch from desktop to desktop it disappear. It reappear on the first desktop.

I use WinXP home SP1 (no theme) and CursorXP 1.3.

Sincerely.

Tested CursorXP (By the way, it crashed Patrick's xp-user-account , great and affordable software by "software giant" stardock...) and couldn't find any problems, my cursor doesn't disappear when switching from desktop to desktop.

Do you use a special theme or configuration? Windows 2000 or XP?

I use windows 2000, no theme, only different colors scheme.

Hi, today i discovered this software (for me one of the best multidesktop manager which i have tryed).

German not is my language, therefore i'm not able to know if other people had this trouble:

1) i use cursor xp.
2) when i switch through virtual desktops my mouse cursor disappear.

I must deactive and reactive cursorxp skin (ctr+shift+c) for every single desktop for see my cursor.

Any help, perhaps "desktop rules"?
