Sorry to bother you, but could you please rename the Bug 103856 from: "launch feedback must show X11 busy cursor when "no busy cursor" is selected" to: "Launch Feedback must support 'X11 Busy Cursor' for improved KDE performance" The launch feedback icon is implemented as icon because there's no way to globally change the X11 cursor, so KDE can't change the cursor. You'll have to redirect your request to the X11 developers. Lubos Lunak Wrote: >The launch feedback icon is implemented as icon because there's no way to globally change the X11 cursor, so KDE can't change the cursor. You ARE WRONG Mr. Lubos Lunak. KDE DOES changes the Mouse Cursor!!! it is not related to X11 people. KDE can't change X11 cursor! you must be joking, let me show you how KDE applications change The GLOBALLY Accessible X11 Cursor. Steps to "see" the Change in X11 cursor "by" KDE applications: ---------------------------------------------------------- 1. Install any Cursor Theme (like yellowdot/Crystal cursors from kde-look.org) 2. Now open www.kde.org and click on any link (hyper link, like http://www.kde.org) 3. observe the MOUSE CURSOR Shape it shows "busy with arrow" X11 cursor (it is not an icon) 4. Open KControl 5. Click on "Index" Tab 6. keep clicking on the links like "Style", "Theme Manager", "Colors", "Boot Manager (lilo)", and "Linux Kernel" which shows busy cursor for a while. NOW YOU TELL ME! 7. isn't it KDE application who are changing the X11 cursor shape!? So, you must have tried my steps before concluding that it is an X11 thing!!! Thank you! > 7. isn't it KDE application who are changing the X11 cursor shape!?
All KDE does is changing the X11 mouse cursor theme.
> All KDE does is changing the X11 mouse cursor theme.
You're again wrong! KDE changes X11 mouse theme at 'kcmshell mouse', here the X11 mouse pointer 'shape' is changed to signify that application is busy with something (like loading, converting, reading etc.). Likewise, The .desktop files (shortcuts) when clicked (executed) should change the shape to Busy.
And it seems that you are adamant with your own opinion about this, that KDE has nothing to do with X11 mouse cursor!!! Don't be blinded by your own opinion/belief...
KDE cannot change the mouse cursor to provide global launch feedback directly in the cursor. If you think you know better, you're welcome to try to implement that yourself. Bug closed. Kdesktop is no more mantained. |
