I am looking for a way to change the Busy Pointer from the "ZZZ" to a pointer
of my choice and cannot find any information in the RKM's, or the Intuition
for that matter. If you have any information on this please E-Mail it to me
at the address below (preferrably use the path from above) or if you think it
would be of interest to other people post it to the net.

And unfortunately you won't. You see the "busy" pointer is a workbench thing. Think of the workbench as another application and it makes more sense. As an application, it picked the "cloud" as it's busy pointer. Unfortunately, because Workbench is the desktop model it is sort of seen as the "official" busy pointer. This is where C/A could have done a better job. Fortunately for you, there is the RFE process and this is a good application for it. Join me in sending an RFE to cbmvax!bugs and maybe we can get Jimm to slip it into Intuition. (It won't break TextCraft, I promise) My suggestion was a new intuition function : (void) BusyPointer(struct Window *win) And a new "screen" on preferences that let you edit the "standard" busy pointer. (Thus making it a part of preferences and all that implies) --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis ARPAnet: cmcmanis@sun.com These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.

While they're at it, they could add a few other useful cursors, e.g., 4 corners, up, down, left, anr right arrows, etc. This would be much more general than a special call for handling just the busy cursor. Then a color font editor could be used to edit all the standard cursors. BTW, this is what the X window system does. -Peter Schachte pds@quintus.uucp ..!sun!quintus!pds

Could somebody please post (or send me) the sprite data for
the Workbench busy pointer? (Or how to access it, etc.)
Thanks. tom.
