Need more VISIBLE Mouse Pointers/Cursors (Selectable like Dice).

[Calebro]

Aye it is indeed available. Thanks.

But for DDO, it doesnt do anything, specially in Windowed mode - where it stutters and freezes the DDO screen for 5 seconds when used. Unfortunately, this is not a workable soultion.

We need more colors and mice pointer icons (preferably scalable/resizable) so we can see our tiny brown pointer.

I don't have that problem.
The trick is that you can't be moving the mouse when you do it, or the movement overrides the locater.

But I completely agree that options on this would be amazing.

I play at 2560x1440 (which is AWESOME, my XP bar doesn't even make it to the other side of the screen) - I think I lose my cursor about 50% of the time when I need to click on an hotbar.
It's so hard to see. Since I play in mouse look mode most of the time, I've learned to place my mouse in the same spot when switching in/out of moues look mode. This way I have a reference point near my hotbars to find my cursor. It's very annoying, and in the heat of battle I often go back into mouse look mode before returning to my reference point. At which point finding my cursor is almost a lost cause.

Most MMO's have a more "active" cursor - turns into a sword when target an enemy mob, a hand/conversation bubble on an NPC, etc. I guess DDO does this a little, in mouse look mode I know the reticle turns red when targeting an enemy mob. I don't care about that stuff for the most part, the most important change would by the color - the tan blends in with 50% of the background textures in DDO. I wouldn't say no to a larger cursor either.

Anyways, I think the Dev's mentioned some overall UI changes and a new UISkinArtPack.zip for U7. Chance for a new cursor, or customizable one? This thread could use some "Read by a dev" love.

Sorry for bringing an old thread back up, but I was about to make my own thread about this anyways.

I don't care about aesthetics when it come to making something like this more functional. I don't care if it's even customizable, as long as it's bright enough for me to see where my pointer is at all times. Make it bright pink, purple, neon green, blue, magenta; I don't care as long as I can always see it. Please sign this people, if you agree that this needs to be changed.

10 month old thread. Doubt it's going to change (how many updates in that time?). I do agree, losing the cursor is a pain in the arse, bb on top of fw on top of ck on top of ms, at least you will probably lag out at that point and have plenty of time to find your cursor before the rapid fire --> death. Oops, that was fixed in Update 7.

I've set up custom keys for a couple of my hotbars so I rarely have my hand on my mouse. Occasionally I need to quickly click something on another hotbar I don't have keyed and not being able to find my mouse can definitely be the difference between success and failure.

It's real pain finding cursor when in panic mode.

I'd make my mouse pointer HUGE and Hot Pink!

I think i would go with Purple, but if they gave me the choice of hot pink or standard, even tho i hate pink, it would definately win

most definately /signed

Same as a few others, I have a pretty high resolution, and I would LOVE to at least make the cursor somewhat larger, and would like even more to be able to make it some god-awful bright color that stands out against most every background.

(Sure, we're semi-necroing this, but it's too good an idea to let die)

...I can't find my mouse pointer to make the reply screen active!

I play at 1920 x 1080, and finding the tiny, low contrast mouse cursor in the heat of battle is my single biggest frustration with the game.
