    Left-handed cursors?


    Is there a way I can switch the cursors to the left?

    I think all he meant was is there a way for the cursor on the screen to point to the right instead of to the left all the time.

    I think he meant the cursor itself, not the buttons.

    I will look into it for you.

    If you want to do it use a piece of software like ArtCursors - Windows cursor editor

    Not sure if it would viably work within windows itself, as every selection rectangle etc would be out by the width of your arrow cursor.

    How an icon is drawn in a 32x32 square, the arrow cursors are typically drawn in their square with the left-hand straight side being flush against the left side of their square. I don't know the reasoning for this action, but it seems to be a typical going on.

    Hope that makes sense what I've just said!

    With MicroAngelo, you can choose any pixel within the square to be the point.
