Left-handed cursors?

[winsev]

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.

Okay no clue, sorry. Good luck finding out how to do it.

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!

Turn your monitor upside down.

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

Thats actually pretty funny....but on topic I have never thought about that probably because I am right handed but if you wanted to do it I would be intrigued on how you managed to accomplished it....

Hello Winsev, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Windows 7 will allow you to easily change the mouse pointers to one that you want instead. The real trick is finding .ani (animated cursor) and .cur (cursor) files that have the type of pointer that you want.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Ahh.. Windows adapts the offset to the left-handed cursors automatically!
(just tried it and they align perfectly)

Here's a link to some left-handed Vista Aero cursors: Vista Aero cursors Left-handed by ~ezio on deviantART
